Installation

Please watch full video tutorial. It was recorded for our Autema theme, but can be used for any theme of our development.

The theme files can be uploaded in two ways: Through FTP or through WordPress dashboard.

FTP
Upload the non-zipped theme folder into the /wp-content/themes/ folder on your server. You must upload folder /windazo/ from archive windazo.zip.
WordPress
Navigate to "Appearance" > "Add New Themes" -> "Upload Theme" -> "Choose file" (choose windazo.zip) > Install

Activate it after install.

If you have error "Theme is missing the style.css stylesheet error" - make sure you uploading inner WordPress .zip file with theme, not the whole archive downloaded from ThemeForest. More information on https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821510-Theme-is-missing-the-style-css-stylesheet-error.

Basic configuration

Install all required plugins (Especialy Unyson, LT Extension and Visual Composer) by clicking on Begin installing plugins
Activate them after that
Update permalinks for custom pages in Settings -> Permalink -> Save

Notice: if you want to use a child-theme, you can also upload the file windazo-child.zip in addition with the main Windazo Theme. Child Theme allows you to add/modify CSS Stylesheet and functions without modifying main theme files. And you'll not lose your modifications after main theme update.

Demo Content Install

We recommend you to install demo content. Go to the Tools -> Demo Content Install. Be aware - installing of demo content will delete all your current content.

If Tools -> Demo Content Install not Available - make sure Unyson Plugin is installed and activated. Also Backup & Demo Content Extension must be active:

If demo installation interrupts with warning "Curl SSL" , contact your hosting support and ask them to check, that Curl SSL support is enabled on your site.

If backup or import interrupts with "Abort" link and you have this notice in dashboard “Unyson: Your website is hosted using the LiteSpeed web server.
