Configuring WPML
WPML consists of several modules. The basic module turns WordPress sites multilingual. Other modules help with an enhanced translation process, string translation, media translation and other functions.
After you enable WPML, you’ll see a Multilingual Widget in the Admin Dashboard. This widget provides access to the different functions in WPML. You can also access them through the WPML menu.
Languages – Determine the site’s languages and control how different language contents are organized.
Navigation – Control the appearance of site-wide navigation based on WordPress pages.
Sticky links – This is an essential function for running full websites with WordPress. It guarantees that links between pages can never break.
Translating Site Content
WPML creates different posts, pages and custom types for translations and connects them together. This means that every page has its own title, body and meta-fields.
Most WordPress sites contain texts outside of posts. WPML translates these texts using the String Translation module.
To display image galleries in translated content, you should use WPML Media. It will allow you to connect the same media files to content in different languages.
Advanced Translation
Once you’ve translated the site’s content and general strings, you might be interested in translating the site’s navigation and using localized permalinks.
Please remember you have purchased a very affordable theme and you have not paid for a full-time web design agency. Occasionally we will help with small tweaks, but these requests will be put on a lower priority due to their nature.
Support is also 100% optional and we provide it for your connivence, so please be patient, polite and respectful.
Before seeking support, please...
Make sure your question is a valid Theme Issue and not a customization request.
Make sure you have read through the documentation and any related video guides before asking support on how to accomplish a task.
Make sure to double check the theme FAQs.
Try disabling any active plugins to make sure there isn't a conflict with a plugin. And if there is this way you can let us know.
If you have customized your theme and now have an issue, back-track to make sure you didn't make a mistake. If you have made changes and can't find the issue, please provide us with your changelog.
Almost 80% of the time we find that the solution to people's issues can be solved with a simple "Google Search". You might want to try that before seeking support. You might be able to fix the issue yourself much quicker than we can respond to your request.
Make sure to state the name of the theme you are having issues with when requesting support via Themeforest.
2. Use Envato WordPress Toolkit plugin ( you can see below introduction )
Note : After you have finished Update Theme WordPress, you need to go to Appearance -> Theme Options and Save All Options again (if your theme have “Generate Less To Css” button beside “Save All Options” button, you also need click that button)
Envato WordPress Toolkit
Unlike most other free WordPress plugins, the toolkit isn’t available in the WordPress Plugin Repository. You’ll need to go to GitHub to download the plugin. Link to download here: https://github.com/envato/envato-wordpress-toolkit
After you’ve downloaded the plugin (by clicking the “Download ZIP” click on the right-hand side of the page), there are a few steps to go through to get the plugin up and running.
API KEY
You will need to generate an API key to link your WordPress site to your Themeforest account. Login to Themeforest, go to your dashboard and click on “My Settings.” The API Keys screen allows you to generate a free API key.
2. Install Envato WordPress Toolkit Plugin
Install and activate the toolkit plugin. A new menu item, “Envato Toolkit,” will appear in the admin sidebar. Click on the sidebar link and enter your marketplace username and secret API key. Click “Save Settings.”
All of your theme purchases will now appear on this page after it refreshes.
3. Theme Updates
The plugin will now alert you to theme updates – so long as you check the toolkit settings regularly.
Click on “install automatically” beside each of your themes to automatically Update Theme WordPress.
The toolkit settings page also allows you to install themes that you haven’t already uploaded to your site, delete ones you don’t use and view version details. You can also set up theme backups.
It’s a fairly simple plugin, but also a helpful one.
When update new version We will notify you via email.
Once again, thank you so much for purchasing this theme. As I said at the beginning, I'd be glad to help you if you have any questions relating to this theme. No guarantees, but I'll do my best to assist.
