WordPress Information

To install this theme you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. Below are all the useful links for WordPress information.

PLEASE NOTE! The theme is designed for free WordPress version downloaded at WordPress.org. We do not guarantee the theme full compatibility with installations on Wordpress.com due to limitations in website control and theme customization.

Theme Requirements

To use this theme you must be running at least WordPress 3.9, PHP 5.6, mysql 5 or higher. If you use low-end hosting with limited resources (e.g. GoDaddy!), you may experience issues with "one-click" demo data installation feature.

max_execution_time 600

memory_limit 128M

post_max_size 32M

If you try to install the wrong files, you will get missing styles.css file error. This is the most common error that means you are trying to install an incorrect package.

To install "Wanted" theme, you must have WordPress installed. For information regarding WordPress platform installation, please check the WordPress Codex at http://codex.WordPress.org/Installing_WordPress or check this great video tutorial.

Update WordPress: To ensure a positive user experience, we highly recommend updating your WordPress to the latest stable version. This will help utilizing all of the latest features of WordPress.

PLEASE NOTE! Wanted archive contains 2 themes (skins) in one package: Wanted and Wanted Photography that differ in design only.

Wanted

Wanted Photography

If you have questions regarding the theme installation, we recommend reading the detailed instruction below.

You can install the theme in two ways:

  • via FTP:

    1. Log into your web server with FTP client software.

    2. Unzip the wanted.zip file and ONLY use the extracted /wanted theme folder.

    3. Upload the extracted /wanted theme folder into /wp-content/themes folder.

    4. Navigate to the Appearance > Themes tab and activate the theme.

  • via WordPress:

    1. Login to admin panel.

    2. Navigate to Appearance > Themes and click on the Add New button.

    3. Choose Upload theme option. Click on Browse...(Choose file in Safari/Chrome), select the "wanted.zip" and click Install Now button.

    4. After the successful installation, click on Activate or navigate to the Appearance > Themes and click on Activate button to activate the newly installed theme.

    5. IMPORTANT! In case you wish to install "Wanted" skin, just omit this step.
      Wanted archive contains 2 themes (skins) in one package: Wanted and Wanted Photography that differ in design only. By default "Wanted" skin is activated. If you are planning to use "Wanted Photography" skin, navigate to Appearance > Update skins, select the skin and click on the "Install Skin" button.

    6. Now you will be prompted to install the required Themerex addons and the other recommended plugins, if any. It might be (but not always should) Instagram Feed or MailChimp for WP (in case they are included), for example.
      All these plugins are included into the theme archive, or can be installed from the WordPress.org repository.
      The theme can function without the recommended plugins. But if you want your website look precisely as the demo page, you have to install all recommended plugins and import demo content. This is a good idea if you are building your website from scratch.
      However, if you have an existing website, you should be very careful with plugins installation and importing demo data: this may affect an entire website's content, it's look, behavior and structure. Please refer to the Demo Content section for more details.

    7. As a final step - the new menu item Appearance > ThemeREX Addons should appear in the WP Dashboard menu bar.

    8. Attention! If you want to make changes in theme’s templates or functions, we recommend activating a child theme before demo data installation. Please see the Child Theme section for more information.

Plugins Installation

In order to make the theme look exactly as the demo page, you need to install recommended plugins. Click on Begin installing plugins link.

Alternatively, you can use Appearance > Install Plugins menu that redirects to the plugins installation page. Check all the listed plugins, select Install option and click on Apply button. Installation may take a few minutes, please be patient and do not refresh the page.

Find the list of included plugins below:

  • Instagram Feed

  • MailChimp for WordPress

  • ThemeREX Addons (required)

  • WPBakery Page Builder (required)

SUCCESS! The "Success" message appears after plugins successful installation.

Gutenberg Compatibility

You can create new pages using this editor.

All existing demo pages are built using WPBakery Page Builder and should be customized using WPBakery Page Builder ONLY.

PLEASE NOTE! It is possible to switch between the page builders. Please use One page builder for creating/customizing One particular page/post.

Child Theme

Child theme is for developers willing to make changes to core functions and code. If you are not planning to dig that deep, you can just skip this chapter.

IMPORTANT! If you want to make changes in theme’s templates or functions, we recommend to install a child theme and apply changes there. To learn more about that, please visit WordPress Codex at https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes.

In the theme's package you can find all the necessary files for the child theme. It is located in the "wanted-child.zip" archive. The installation of a child theme is similar to the main theme.

A few recommendations on how to use a Child Theme:

  • Almost all files from the main theme can be replaced in a child theme. It doesn’t concern only .php-files with templates and basic logic, but also both .js, .css files from respective folders and files with images, icons etc.
  • In case you need to edit some theme-related functions or add new ones, copy/add all the required functions into functions.php file in the wanted-child folder. If our theme contains functions with such names, they will be replaced with yours, if not – your functions will complete our theme logics.
    PLEASE NOTE If you want to replace some functions from other files (except functions.php), e.g. from _wp_utils.php or _utils.php, we do not recommend you to copy respective files into the child theme, but you should create the respective functions in functions.php in the child theme. This should be done, so that when updating the theme, new functions from these files are available for use.
    As for other files - put out the templates from the folder 'templates', images from the folder 'images' etc. - to make changes copy theme into the folder 'child theme' and make changes there.

The theme archive contains the files for wanted child skin. In case you need to make changes for the skin, in the extracted wanted-child folder open the style.css file and change the skin name in the line Template: wanted into Template: wanted_photography.

Demo Content

Our themes include a simple One click demo data import tool. It allows getting a precise copy of our demo website in just 1 click.
Nevertheless, it allows choosing whether to install the "whole demo-site content" or just certain pages, forms, and sliders.

Before installing demo data, please make sure you have installed all the required plugins, check the Plugins installation section for more information.

IMPORTANT! When installing demo-data, ALL THE EXISTING CONTENTS of your website will be deleted and replaced with the new data! We do recommend to install demo data on fresh WordPress.

To import demo content into a WordPress site, please follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your site as an administrator.

  2. OPTIONAL! In case you receive a notification message prompting to install required ThemeREX Addons plugin, click on Begin installing plugins" and install it on the corresponding page. IMPORTANT: The rest of recommended plugins are not mandatory for installation of demo content but highly recommended.

  3. Navigate to Appearance > Install Demo Data:
  4. On the page that showed up set the required parameters.
  5. Click on "Start import" button.

    PLEASE NOTE It may take a while for demo data to be copied from our server to your site. It depends significantly on the Internet connection speed between your website and our server. Please wait patiently and do not refresh/leave the page.

  6. The "Success" message appears after demo data successful installation.
    IMPORTANT! In case "Demo Data" installation stuck, you can manually install it by downloading the demo.zip archive from our server and extract it in your Theme's folder root directory. If the issue persists, please contact your hosting provider to make sure that your server configuration meets the Theme Requirements.



IMPORTANT! Once the demo data is installed and you would like to open the site from the admin panel, you will be redirected to the blog page. In order to get to the CV Card just reload the page or click on the arrow icon in the left panel. In case you open the site as a customer using the domain name the CV Card will be from the start.

You can enable/disable the CV Card, set the CV Card as a homepage as well as disable blog pages in Appearance (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons > CV Card. Please check this guide for detailed information regarding CV Card customization.

Theme Update

This step is required if you received the notification that a new version of the theme is available. You can see this information in Changelog section at the bottom of the item's details page.

PLEASE NOTE Before you go ahead with the update make sure you backup your old theme's folder. Download it to your computer locally.

It is a good practice to backup both your files and database regularly and especially before making some serious updates.

Update Option 1. Update using WordPress uploader

  1. Find the theme and download “Installable WordPress file only”.

  2. Log into your WordPress website and go to Appearance > Themes.

  3. Activate a different theme. Delete the previous version of Wanted and re-upload the new WordPress Installable files that you have downloaded during the 1st step.

  4. Once it is uploaded, activate the theme.

  5. Update (if necessary!) the included plugins, if you see a notification message prompting about a newer version.

    • Navigate to WP Dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins.

    • Update ThemeREX Addons plug-in. You can click on "Update" button (if available in a particular theme) or deactivate and delete this plugin. Then follow the prompt to install it again. This will load a new plugin version on the site.

    • Deactivate and delete the rest plugin(s) of old version.

    • Go to Appearance > Install Plugins and install the plugin(s) like it was described in the Plugins Installation section of this documentation.

Update Option 2. Update using FTP client

  1. Get the last version of the theme as described above.

  2. Connect to your server using desktop client software(we recommend CyberDuck and Filezilla).

  3. Change directory to /wp-content/themes.

  4. Remove existing folder with old theme files.

  5. Unpack theme installable files and upload to the theme folder.

  6. Update (if necessary!) the included plugins in the way described above, if you see a notification message prompting about a newer version.

Update Skin

In case Wanted Photography skin is installed, navigate to Appearance > Update skins and check if any updates are available.

Quick start

After the theme activation and demo content import, we are ready to get started with basic theme settings like site title, tagline, logo, favicon etc.

To change your site title and tagline go to Settings > General. Please note, these parameters are important for search engines.

Another great idea may be setting custom permalinks structure to make them more SEO friendly and human-readable. Go to Settings > Permalinks and make changes according to the example below.

Customizer settings

Now let's navigate to Appearance > Customize in the WP dashboard side menu - the feature which makes theme customization extremely user-friendly and straight-forward, allowing the Administrator to manage the feel and look of the blog website easily from one place.

PLEASE NOTE that our theme has a unique inheritance hierarchy. It means that Global settings made with Customizer Panel can be overridden by settings of each page via its particular "Theme Options"..​

There is one more unique feature we have developed and integrated. It allows you to integrate Blog Archive feed with the WPBakery Page Builder in any area of the page - just right where you want it to appear without any additional code modifications.

We have integrated a lot of additional options to the default WordPress "Customize" menu, which allows you to flexibly control the appearance and behavior of the whole website as well as an individual types of posts, pages and categories.

Moreover, you can see the changes of the frontend right after the alterations - when the needed parameter is selected, without switching from admin to frontend each time. It saves much of your time and lets you customize your website just in several clicks. When you are done with the changes, you should click on "Save and Publish" button at the top of the Customizer's side menu.
There are quite a lot of parameters here, but luckily the majority of them have default values that suit most of users needs. Let's take a closer look at them:

Menus

These settings allow you to manage available Menus:

Menus can also be edited via "Appearance > Menus" settings.

There are a few types of menus available:

  • Footer Menu - Responsible for displaying menu in the footer's area.
  • Header Menu - Responsible for displaying menu in the header's area.
  • Main Menu - Displays the main menu.

Each of these menus are expandable and can be edited right through the Customizer settings.

Main Menu components:

Widgets

Depends on the selected page that is being edited with Customizer's tools you can notice different kind of widgets sets included to a particular page. For example the Header Widgets.

If you expand this widget set, you will be able to:

  1. Add a widget: just click on "Add a widget" button to see the available widgets, then press on the one you want to use:



  2. Reorder the position of widgets using 3 icons:

    • Move - allows you to move the widget to another sidebar.

    • Down - the widget will be moved down.

    • Up - the widget will be moved upwards.

After you reorder the position of widgets in the sidebar, click on "Done" button at the bottom.

Moreover, our theme provides a few Custom Widget sets that are available through Appearance > Widgets section as well as a few more additional locations that allow displaying the necessary widgets almost anywhere on the page.

Check the schematic screenshot below for more information.

You can assign any Custom widget (Widget area) to the page in the Theme Options section.


This is how the "Sidebar Widgets" may look like:

(Please do not forget to add your new Blog page to the navigation bar in Appearance > Menus). On the same page in admin you can enter the number of posts to be displayed on the blog archive pages:

This theme comes with 2 skins. Check the screenshots below.

Skin 1

Skin 2

Slider

By default our theme supports a simple Swiper posts slider. Built-in theme's slider allows you to display Featured images from the posts of any category. You can select a category and specify the number of the posts to be displayed. This is a rather simple solution that can be optionally used.
Nevertheless, our theme is fully compatible with an extremely powerful and beautiful Revolution Slider plugin. It allows you to create an unlimited number of sliders and set anywhere you want on the page within the necessary widget.

Below are the backend and frontend screenshots of the Revolution Slider (All the Homepages have the same sliders settings, the only difference is slide images):

To have a better understanding of this plugin's functionality we highly recommend checking the following links:

The slider can be added through the "Widgets" section as well as through the WPBakery Page Builder. Using Widgets allows you to place the slider not only in the header of the page (might vary, and depends on how many default sidebars locations are available for each particular theme), where it usually supposed to be.

Below is a short guide on how to configure a Revolution Slider by adding it to one of the widget sets.
Please note that in case you do not have a slider set up (but the Revolution Slider plugin is already installed) you need to create it first and fill with slides by navigating to Slider Revolution tab in the WP Dashboard side menu.

  1. Navigate to the Appearance > Widgets menu item in the WP dashboard side menu.

  2. Locate the Revolution slider widget and drag and drop it to any of the available widget sets. Once it's done specify the necessary parameters and click on "Save" button.
    Check an example below.
  3. Navigate to the page you want your slider to appear on and enable the necessary widget area on the Widgets tab.
  4. Once it's finished click "Update" and "Preview Changes" buttons to see how it will look on the frontend.

    5. Now the slider is displayed right where you need it on your page.

Shortcodes

Shortcodes is a handy feature in WordPress that allows you to do some pretty incredible things by just inserting a shortcode into a page or post. Using Shortcodes is very straight-forward, just insert one where you want the relevant content to show up.

The theme comes with a number of custom shortcodes allowing you to add the info in a simple way. Moreover, you can use WPBakery Page Builder to add new elements to the page. Find the theme-related custom shortcodes on the Themerex tab in the WPBakery Page Builder's backend Editor.

Below is a list of the shortcodes included into the theme.

Action

This shortcode inserts "Call to action", event item or columns layout.

Example:

Translations

We recommend using Poedit software for translation-related purposes.

To translate the theme to your language, please follow these steps:

  1. Download and install Poedit software.
  2. Navigate to the theme/.../languages/ folder and locate .pot file. Copy it to your desktop for editing.
  3. Double click on the .pot file. In the Poedit window click on the "Create New Translation" button, choose the necessary language of the translation from the dropdown list and click "OK."
  4. Now select the constant text string you need to translate from the "Source text - English" field and type in the necessary translation into the "Translation" field.
    You can translate as much as you want, just go through the file and click on each string in "Poedit" and add your translation.
  5. Next, you have to save the changes to your .po file using the naming convention based on the language code (e.g. pt for Portuguese) followed by the country code (for instance _BR for Brazil). To do that click on the "sheet" icon (you can also use hotkeys CMD+Shift+S in OS X or Win+S in Windows) and type in the name according to the screenshot below.
    The first lower-case letters define the language, whereas the second upper-case letter defines the country. In most cases, the language and country are the same, like “de_DE” for Germany.
    However, there is a difference for languages like English or Portuguese, which are spoken in several countries natively. In this case, the difference is in the first and second letter pairs; for the UK, the code would be en_GB, whereas the en_US stands for the USA. If you are not familiar with the codes for your native language and country, then visit the GNU website. See Language Codes and Country Codes for the lists of codes.
    Please note, if you use the wrong naming convention WordPress can not process your translation.
  6. When saving your .po file, Poedit automatically creates a new .mo file, with the same naming convention. According to the example above, the file would be called pt_BR.mo.
  7. Upload the .po and .mo files you just created to the .../languages folder. Make sure these files are in the same directory as the default.pot one.

  8. Our theme is using ThemeREX Addons plug-in, so some translation should be done in language files of this plug-in in the .../wp-content/plugins/trx_addons/languages directory. There is also a trx_addons.pot file in this directory.
    Generate the .po and .mo files according to your language. See the file names on the example below:
    trx_addons-pt_BR.po, trx_addons-pt_BR.mo.
    Make sure that the language of your files is the same as in your WordPress admin panel > Settings > General Settings section.

In case you still have questions on how to use Poedit, please check the following resources:
