To install this theme you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. Below are some useful links regarding WordPress information.
To use this theme you must be running at least WordPress 5.9, PHP 5.6.20 or higher (for WooCommerce plug-in PHP 7.2+). If you use a hosting service with limited resources (e.g. GoDaddy!), you may experience issues with the "one-click" demo data installation.
We recommend that you contact your web hosting service provider to make sure that your server PHP configuration limits are as follows:
max_execution_time 600
memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 32M
If you are running unmanaged dedicated server or VPS,
you should check your php.ini
file. Alternatively, you can edit .htaccess
file in the root of your website and add the following values:
php_value max_execution_time 600
php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value post_max_size 32M
php_value upload_max_filesize 32M
Setting these values will ensure you will not get error messages during the installation. To safeguard your website, please use secure passwords and the latest version of WordPress and plug-ins.
Here is the list of web hosting service providers we recommend:
Before installing the theme, please make sure you unpacked the archive and extracted the theme files. Some of the folders names may slightly vary. Treat the screenshot below as an example only.
The main package contains archives with the main theme, child theme, documentation and bundled plug-ins.
If you try to install the wrong files, you will get the missing style.css error. This is the most common error that means you are trying to install an incorrect package.
PLEASE NOTE!Alright archive contains 3 themes (skins) in one package that differ in design only.
In order to install the theme, you need to have a working version of WordPress installed on your server first. Check out this guide for detailed information on how to install WordPress. We also highly recommend updating your WordPress to the latest stable version.
Below you can find a video tutorial on how to install the theme.
There are 2 ways to install the theme:
alright.zip
file and ONLY use the extracted /alright
theme folder.
alright
theme folder into /wp-content/themes
.
alright.zip
folder and click Install Now button.
You can also watch our video tutorial on how to install a WordPress theme.
Attention! If you want to make changes in theme’s templates or functions, we strongly recommend activating a child theme before demo data installation. Please see the Child Theme section for more information.
The theme license allows you to install the theme on ONE domain only! In order to connect the license to a different domain, first click "Disconnect domain" (Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > General) and then re-enter the purchase key/token on a different WordPress installation. For Envato Elements, if you want to activate another theme or install the same theme on a new domain, please generate a new token (1 token = 1 domain). If you have any questions, please contact our support department.
Attention! Before any manipulations that will require re-entering the purchase key/Elements token even on the same domain (e.g: WordPress reinstallation or cleaning the database), please FIRST disconnect the domain!
Below is the list of the plug-ins that come included into the theme.
Some of these plug-ins can also be installed from the WordPress.org repository.
You can find a detailed overview of each plug-in in the Plug-ins section of this documentation file.
There is only one required plug-in for proper theme functioning, and that is ThemeREX Addons. The rest of the plug-ins are recommended for installation, but not required.
PLEASE NOTE! Each skin has its own set of plug-ins.
To make the theme look exactly as on the demo page, you would need to install the recommended plug-ins:
In case you are running a shared hosting with limited resources (e.g. GoDaddy), we do recommend enabling only the essential plug-ins (e.g. ThemeREX Addons) and disable the rest. Otherwise, it may significantly increase the memory consumption, which might lead to unwanted issues.
PLEASE NOTE! The installation and activation of bundled plug-ins run automatically. Anyway, if you have any issues, please extract plugins.zip
archive (from the theme package) and proceed with the plug-ins installation manually.
If you want to make changes to the theme's files and functions, we strongly recommend installing a child theme. This ensures that your theme customizations stay in place after the theme update. If you are not planning to change the core theme files, you are free to skip this chapter.
IMPORTANT! Install the child theme before importing the demo data. Otherwise, all of your theme options will be reset.
A child theme is installed the same way you install a parent theme. Locate the alright-child.zip
file in the theme package and upload it via the WordPress admin panel. Alternatively, you can unzip it and upload via FTP (see main theme installation chapter).
Your child theme has its own functions.php
file. Use it to copy modified functions from the parent theme's functions.php
, or register new functions.
You can copy all files from the parent theme into the child theme except files located in the following folders:
/includes
/plugins
/theme-options
/theme-specifics
In the /front-page
folder, you can copy all files except front-page.options.php
.
If the file you want to edit is in one of these folders, you need to copy the required function from that file, and register it in the child theme's functions.php
.
The rest of the files can be copied and edited directly in the child theme folder.
When copying parent theme files into the child theme, preserve the original folder structure. Create respective folders and make sure that the file path is the same as in the parent theme.
Our theme includes a simple One-click demo data installation, which allows your site to look exactly as on the theme demo.
Before installing demo data, please make sure you have activated your theme copy (entered the purchase code or Envato Elements token in the WP Dashboard > Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > General tab) and installed all the required plug-ins. Check the Plug-ins installation section for more information about the required plug-ins.
In case you do not have your Purchase Code, please navigate to your ThemeForest "Downloads" page and click on the theme download link. Check this guide for more details.
To generate Envato Elements token, follow the link from your WP admin panel. Please view this guide for more information.
IMPORTANT! Our theme supports RTL text direction (compatibility, without rtl-demo content)! Please FIRST choose the correct language in your WordPress settings (Dashboard > Settings > General > Site Language), then proceed with the demo data installation.
Our theme contains RTL styles. The page content should be manually adjusted for RTL text-direction using the page builder's settings (e.g. changing the alignment of icons, etc).
In order to import the demo content go to Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > Theme Dashboard > Demo Data.
On the page that showed up set the required parameters.
When choosing the partial demo data import, the new content will be added to your existing data.
Although this will not overwrite your existing content, we still recommend backing up your website before doing this.
Note, that the pages are imported without the original images. Instead, the image placeholders are used. This is done to keep your existing content intact.
Import separate pages means that you receive the page structured like on our demo, just set of blocks that requires further customization: you should replace demo categories/post ids with your own ones.
When choosing this option, all the existing content of your website will be lost and replaced with the new data. We recommend using this option for new WordPress installations only.
Use the full import option if you want to have an exact copy of the theme demo. It enables you to import all media files, pages, theme options, and plug-in settings.
Some plug-ins increase the memory consumption. For example, BuddyPress and bbPress (not included into the theme's package) require additional 60-80Mb
. If you are having trouble installing the demo data, deactivate massive plug-ins and try again.
In case demo data installation is stuck and you see "Error load data from the file ... " error message, you can manually install it by downloading the skin_name.zip archive with demo data from our server for each skin separately.
The archive should be unzipped. Then create demo/
folder in wp-content/themes/alright/
directory and copy /skin_name
folder to wp-content/themes/alright/demo
.
Treat the screenshot below as an example only. The list of folders inside a theme package may vary.
If the issue persists, please contact your hosting service provider to make sure that your server configuration meets the Theme Requirements. Otherwise, please refer your request to our support department.
upload_max_filesize
to 80M
.wp-content/themes
directory.memory_limit
. You can increase memory_limit
on your server in several ways, namely by editing:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');
memory_limit = 128M;
php_value memory_limit 128M;
mbstring PHP
function in server settings. The function is needed for some languages, such as Japanese, Chinese etc. In case you can not enable the settings, please contact the support team to get assistance with disabling the function in the theme.
wp-config.php
file and add the following lines after database information:
define( 'FS_METHOD', 'direct' );
define('FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0770);
define('FS_CHMOD_FILE', 0660);
max_execution_time 600
memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 32M
This step is required if you received a 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.
Before you go ahead with the update make sure to backup your old theme's folder. Download it to your computer locally.
/wp-content/themes
.
themes
folder.
Now let's navigate to Appearance (WP Dashboard) > Customize to flexibly control the appearance and behavior of the whole website as well as individual types of posts, pages and categories.

Both modes contain the following groups of settings:
MAIN
The main color group of a website. Here you can find the following elements:
ALTER
Alter means alternative color group, mostly applied for sidebar and footer, if a color scheme is assigned to them and it coincides with the site color scheme (NOT inherited).

Alter colors include the same elements as the Main color group, plus two additional hover colors for border and background.
EXTRA
An additional color group for extra elements such as dropdowns, price blocks, table headers, blockquotes, etc.
As a rule, the text and background colors from the Extra group should contrast against the respective colors from the Main color group.
INVERSE (for advanced mode only)
Inverse elements are the elements that use the theme accent color (usually the main one) ("Link", "Accent 2", "Accent 3" options) as a background color. In this way, they get distinctive look and stand out from the rest of the content. You can apply these settings for buttons, blockquotes, dropdowns, etc.
INPUT (for advanced mode only)
Colors for form fields: input fields, text areas, select fields, etc.
In case the changes of the color schemes are not applied, please enable Debug mode (in Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > General tab) and save ThemeREX Addons settings.
Settings of this group allow editing the background color/image (the one behind the body's content when "Boxed" body style is on).

This section covers the information about Pages in your website: included page templates, how to edit existing pages and add new ones.
You can import required pages, along with the page settings, using the Importer tool. Learn more about it in the Demo Content chapter.
To create a new page navigate to "Pages" dashboard menu item in your WordPress admin panel and click on Add new button.
Choose either "Blog Archive" (blog page) or "Default Template"/"Main Page" (regular page) option in the Summary > Template sidebar. Check Posts pages article to find out more information on how to customize them.
Usually, the page consists of blocks, including navigation menus, header, content, and site footer. All blocks that are available in the WordPress Block editor can be used in the Site Editor. Before you start, please check the following tutorials:
Each page has a Theme Options panel, where you can specify custom page parameters.
In Theme Options, you can assign a different header/footer style, sidebar widgets set, as well as many other options for each individual page.
These settings are applied to the page you are editing, and will overwrite the global settings specified in the Customizer.
Options Presets Group
Here you can save the page settings (for header, content, footer, etc.) as a preset template and duplicate these settings on a new page without checking the required options in each section of Theme Options panel (Content/Header/Footer/Colors). All you need to do is to apply the already created preset template on a new page by using control icons ("Apply selected preset"/"Create a new preset"/"Delete selected preset"). The tooltips for the icons will help you.
You can enable or disable the Theme Options panel in the Preferences > Panels in the top right corner of the WordPress admin.
Once you finished with building your page, assign it as a Homepage:
Alternatively, you can assign a page as a homepage in Appearance > Customize > Homepage Settings.
PLEASE NOTE! Default skin comes with the following Homepages.
Below you can find the screenshots of "Homepage" front-end with hotspots describing where you can customize content for a particular section and the "Theme Options" settings.
Please use default navigator (list view) to customize the page blocks easily.
The background color/image for the page blocks can be set or managed in the Row/Section settings panel (Kadence Blocks plug-in is required).
The main additional CSS classes used in the theme are described in the Custom CSS Classes chapter of this documentation file.
You can enable/disable a mouse helper globally or replace the image in the Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons > Mouse helper section. Please also see "Mouse Helper Add-on" section of this documentation file for more information.
Theme Options settings (Homepage):
In this chapter we will show you the way how the wavy delimiters between the page sections are built.
These dividers are created using default Kadence Blocks functionality - "row dividers". Open the settings panel for a definite row and proceed to Dividers tab. Select the location of the divider (bottom/top), the style of the divider from pre-built patterns, specify the color, set the other parameters according to your design and save your changes.
The decoration delimiter below the header area on the Homepage is set in the content area of the page.
The wavy divider above the footer area should be managed in the corresponding footer template part.
Now we will describe the way the complicated background is created, like on demo homepage. The background consists of two parts: the background pattern and background stains.
The background pattern is enabled in page templates using custom CSS class .grained_effect
.
The pattern is added through the CSS styles. The image pattern.png
can be found in /alright/skins/creative-agency/images/patterns/
folder.
The staining background is just an overlay background layer (for the row), inserted to the page using the Site Editor. This functionality requires the Kadence Blocks plug-in to be active.
PLEASE NOTE! We have used additional CSS classes to make the page blocks look like on our demo. You can apply the class names to any skin. The examples below are from the Default Skin.
.scheme_dark
- changes the color scheme of the section and its elements to dark, like on demo "Home - Corporate" page (Default Skin).
.trx_addons_list_success
- stylizes the check markers in the list on demo "Home - Corporate" page (Default Skin).
.simple_text_link
in combination with .underline_anim
- stylizes linked text, inserted to the page using the "Paragraph" block, like on demo Services page.
.extra-icon-padding
- adds custom paddings to an icon item and controls the font size of item's title and description. Please view demo Services page for more information.
.heavy_number_list
- stylizes a numbered list, like on demo Services page.
.underline_anim
in combination with underline_do_hover
- adds underlining effect to a link (for "Paragraph" block). This CSS class should be applied to footer layouts/template parts only! You can view pre-built "Footer Default" template part for more information.
.trx_addons_alter_text
- stylizes a phone number in the footer area (pre-built "Footer Default" template part).
.footer_copyright
- automatically changes {Y}
or {{Y}}
symbols into the current year in the footer copyright area, like in pre-built "Footer Default" or "Footer for FSE" template parts.
Layouts is a tool that lets you create custom headers, footers, and other website sections, and is based on the Site Editor.
Layouts are available after you activate the ThemeREX Addons plug-in. After the activation, a new menu item appears in your WordPress admin panel.
Your theme comes with a number of pre-built Layouts. If you've imported the full content, they will be available for you from the start. Otherwise, you would need to generate them in Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > Theme Specific > Create Layouts.
In order to create a layout, navigate to Layouts (WP Dashboard) > Add New.
Layouts are built in a similar way you build regular pages with Site Editor. The difference is that Layouts expand the default list of blocks by adding layout-specific blocks and provide you with additional row and section settings.
When creating a Layout, first you need to specify the correct Layout type in the Item Options panel:
You can also choose a different Header/Footer Layout for a specific page. Simply open that page in the WordPress admin, and in the Theme Options > Header/Footer panel edit the Header Style and Footer Style settings.
Custom Layouts can be especially useful when you need to use the same section in different places on your website. Instead of building it from scratch on every new page, you can save it as a custom Layout and insert using a "Layouts" block ("TRX Addons Layouts" group).
In order to add a custom Layout to a web page:
Blog Layout is just a scheme showing the position of post elements like featured image, post title, meta data, excerpt, etc. Use Blog Item Parts block ("TRX Addons Layouts" group) to output each element, like in the example below.
You can apply the blog layouts to:
Layouts is a preferred way of creating a mobile header since it gives you flexibility and control over your elements. Creating a mobile header is similar to creating a standard header, except there are several features you should know about in order to use Layouts more efficiently.
You can hide/show the header blocks for definite screen resolutions under the "Visibility Settings" tab for row/section (Kadence Blocks plug-in is required) or under the "Hide on Devices" for some other blocks:
Here’s a full list of available resolutions:
1680px
;1168px
to 1679px
;768px
to 1167px
;767px
;Layout-specific blocks are additional blocks available for editing/creating layouts. They are especially useful for building headers and footers. You can find layout-specific blocks under the "TRX Addons Layouts" group in the Site Editor panel.
Inserts any post parts (featured image, title, meta data, content, custom fields) to your custom page fragment. This block outputs 1 post part at a time. If you want to create a page section with unique structure, just use as many "Blog Item Parts" blocks as you need and output post parts in any combination and in any quantity.
Displays a shopping cart icon (in case the WooCommerce plug-in is active). When clicked, the icon triggers a window with additional shopping details.
For narrow and normal row types (using additional CSS classes), the cart displays the number of products in the cart, the sum total, and an icon label. The compact row type has a shopping cart with a product counter badge only.
Inserts a special container that allows embedding several blocks into 1 layout.
Should be used for headers only. Displays a featured image of the current post/page. Often used in combination with the Title and Breadcrumbs block.
The block has to contain at least one element, otherwise the featured image would be hidden.
Inserts an icon and two text lines. It is possible to add a URL to the icon.
Inserts content in different ways, depending on the type of the layout:
Select which type of the layout to use in the layouts block's general settings.
The algorithm of building a popup notification or panel:
example_popup
.
#
), as an address for the link or button that should trigger the popup/panel.Displays a login/logout link with an icon.
The text for the checkbox "I agree..." (registration form) is set in Appearance > Customize > General > Text with Privacy Policy link.
In order to add/customize the Privacy Policy link, navigate to Settings (WP Dashboard) > Privacy and specify the page that will be used as a Privacy Policy one.
PLEASE NOTE! In case you are planning to use the registration form without consent checkbox, just leave the "Text with Privacy Policy link" option empty in the Appearance > Customize > General section!
Inserts a logo (any image). In case there is no logo (both in layouts and in the Customizer), the theme displays the website title and description specified in Appearance > Customize > Logo & Site Identity.
Uploading Logo
The algorithm of our actions would be as follows:
IMPORTANT! Logo is available for editing for each particular layout. If no logo is selected in the Logo block ("TRX Addons Layouts" group), the initial logo from the Appearance > Customize > Logo & Site Identity will be used.
Displays one of available menus. Specify a preferred menu in the Menu field by its name, like on the screenshot below.
The Layout parameter allows selecting the Menu Layout:
Direction of the menu items: Horizontal or Vertical.
Specify default behavior for a responsive menu in the General tab:
Displays elements from meta data of the current post (categories, post author, post date, post counters, share links, edit link).
Adds a search button/input field. There are 3 styles available:
Displays a title and breadcrumbs of the currently opened page/post.
Displays one of the available widget sets (sidebars from Appearance > Widgets).
Layouts have an extended number of settings for Row and Section blocks via adding custom CSS classes (if Kadence Blocks plug-in is active).
Choose which row or section (column) you want to edit, use the navigator (List View) if needed, go to the row/section settings panel > Advanced tab and insert the required CSS class.
.sc_layouts_row_type_narrow
- the smallest type of row. The blocks feature a small font size and small icons. The Iconed Text block places text in 1 line (even for two-line option).
.sc_layouts_row_type_compact
- a smaller variation of the normal row type. The blocks have a standard font size and small icons. The Iconed Text block puts text in 1 line (even for the two-line option).
.sc_layouts_row_type_normal
- a row of a normal height. The blocks inserted into this type of row have a standard font size, and medium-sized icons. The Iconed Text block features text divided into 2 lines.
.sc_layouts_row_fixed
combined with .sc_layouts_row_fixed_always
- 'fix' the row to the top of the page (or to the last 'fixed row'). Useful for creating sticky navigation.
.sc_layouts_row_hide_unfixed
- hides the row until scrolling down.
.sc_layouts_column_align_left
;
.sc_layouts_column_align_center
;
.sc_layouts_column_align_right
;
PLEASE NOTE! These section (column) and row settings are applicable to layout-specific blocks only.
In this section you can find the examples of layouts that come with Default Skin. If you have imported the full demo content, they will be available for you from the start. Otherwise, you would need to generate them in Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > Theme Specific > Create Layouts. Feel free to create your own layouts.
