WordPress Information

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

Theme Requirements

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:

Theme Installation

Unpacking the theme

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:

  • via FTP:
    1. Log into your web server with FTP client software.
    2. Unzip the alright.zip file and ONLY use the extracted /alright theme folder.
    3. Upload the extracted alright theme folder into /wp-content/themes.
    4. Navigate to the Appearance > Themes tab and activate the theme.
  • via WordPress admin panel:
    1. Log into the WordPress admin panel.
    2. Navigate to Appearance > Themes and click on Add New and Upload Theme.
    3. Select the alright.zip folder 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. Install and activate ThemeREX Addons plug-in.
    6. Enter your Purchase Code or Envato Elements Token and some personal information. Theme activation allows you to get access to skins, plug-ins, demo content, support and updates.

      To get the purchase code, please navigate to your ThemeForest "Downloads" page and click on the theme download link. Check this guide for more details.

      In case you have downloaded the theme from Envato Elements, please view our guide to find out how to generate Envato Elements token. IMPORTANT! The number of theme activations (with purchase code/Envato Elements token) is LIMITED! For Envato Elements, if you want to activate another theme, please generate a new token (1 token = 1 domain). Anyway, you are allowed to activate your theme locally or on the dev server and then move the theme to the main domain. Please feel free to contact our support department if any issues arise.
    7. Make sure the required Advanced Theme Add-ons are active. You can find the description of each add-on here.
    8. Alright archive contains 3 themes (skins) in one package that differ in design only. In "Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > Skins" section select the skin, download it and click on the "Activate" button. Depending on the skin selected, the list of plug-ins and demo data may vary.

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!

Plug-ins Installation

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.

  • Elegro Crypto Payment
  • Kadence Blocks (free version)
  • MailChimp for WordPress
  • ThemeREX Addons (required)
  • ThemeREX Updater
  • TI WooCommerce Wishlist
  • WooCommerce

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.

Advertising Agency and Creative Agency Skins Default Skin

To make the theme look exactly as on the demo page, you would need to install the recommended plug-ins:

  1. After the installation/activation of ThemeREX Addons plug-in and theme activation, you will see a prompt with a list of plug-ins to install. Click on the Begin installing plugins link or go to Appearance > Install Plugins.
  2. Check the plug-ins you want to install, select the Install option and click Apply. Installation may take a few minutes, please be patient and do not refresh the page.
  3. Now, activate the plug-ins. Go to Appearance > Install Plugins, check all the listed plug-ins, choose Activate option and click Apply.

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.

Child Theme

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).

Using a Child Theme

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.

Demo Content

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.

Partial Import

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.

Full Import

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.

Installation FAQs

There are two ways to solve this problem.
  1. Contact your web hosting service provider to increase your upload_max_filesize to 80M.
  2. Upload the extracted theme package via an FTP client to wp-content/themes directory.
The error occurs because of the low memory_limit. You can increase memory_limit on your server in several ways, namely by editing:
  1. wp-config.php file: define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');
  2. php.ini: memory_limit = 128M;
  3. .htaccess file: php_value memory_limit 128M;
Please contact your web hosting service provider to enable 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.
Edit 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);
Please contact your web hosting service provider to make sure that your PHP configuration limits are as follows:
  • max_execution_time 600
  • memory_limit 128M
  • post_max_size 32M
  • upload_max_filesize 32M

Then re-import demo data - it will be successful. In case you still have any issues, please contact our support team.
Please unselect "Media" in the list on the "Install demo data" screen and import the rest of the data. Our Support team can provide the demo media archive, so you could upload media via FTP, just submit a support ticket.

Theme Update

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.

Update Option 1. Update using the ThemeREX Updater plug-in

  1. Please make sure the ThemeREX Updater plug-in is installed and activated. This plug-in is provided with the theme.
  2. Optional! If you have activated your theme copy (entered the purchase code or Envato Elements token in the Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > Theme Dashboard > General tab) you can omit this step.
    Otherwise, navigate to Appearance > ThemeREX Updater and enter your purchase code to get the latest versions of bundled plug-ins and theme updates through the WordPress admin panel. To get the code, please navigate to your ThemeForest "Downloads" page and click on the theme download link. Check this guide for more details.
    Please note, this section requires a purchase code ONLY! Envato Elements token will not work here!
  3. We recommend you to check the "Create backups" option (Appearance > ThemeREX Updater tab) to allow the system create backups for plug-ins versions and the theme automatically.
  4. Proceed to WP Dashboard > Updates and check if any updates are available.
  5. Choose the options for an update (plug-in, theme, etc.) and click on Update button.
  6. You can restore the backups created by the system in WP Dashboard > Updates or in Appearance > ThemeREX Updater (if the "Create backups" option was checked before the update).

Update Option 2. Update using WordPress uploader

  1. Log into your ThemeForest account and navigate to Downloads tab. Find the theme and download Installable WordPress file only.
  2. Log into your WordPress website and go to Appearance > Themes.
  3. Activate a default WordPress theme. Delete the older version of your theme and re-upload the new WordPress Installable files that you have downloaded from ThemeForest during the 1st step.
  4. Once it is uploaded, activate the theme.

    IMPORTANT! If you're using a child theme, do not activate the newly uploaded parent theme. Activate your old child theme instead. Otherwise, all the child theme customizations will be lost.
  5. Update (if necessary!) the included plug-ins, 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 plug-in. Then follow the prompt to install it again. This will load a new plug-in version on the site.
    • Deactivate and delete the rest plug-in(s) of old version.
    • Go to Appearance > Install Plugins and install the plug-in(s) like it was described in the Plugins Installation section of this documentation.

Update Option 3. Update using FTP client

  1. Log into your ThemeForest account and get the last version of the theme as described above.
  2. Connect to your server using desktop client software (we recommend Filezilla and CyberDuck).
  3. Change directory to /wp-content/themes.
  4. Remove/rename existing folder with old theme files.
  5. Unpack theme installable files downloaded from ThemeForest and upload them to the themes folder.
  6. Update (if necessary!) the included plug-ins in the way described above, if you see a notification message prompting about a newer version.

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.

IMPORTANT! Please be aware that our theme provides a special inheritance hierarchy system for "Theme Options" settings. It means that individual settings of each page may override global settings made with Customizer Panel.
Settings of "Blog", "WooCommerce", "Plugins settings" (such as Portfolio, Services, Team and Testimonials, depending on the skin you are using) and other groups may also override default/general settings available through Customizer.

Moreover, you can see the changes of the front-end right after the alterations - when the needed parameter is selected, without switching from admin to front-end each time. When you are done with the changes, you should click on Publish button at the top of the Customizer's side menu.

IMPORTANT! Please be aware that all the Customizer's settings are also available for editing through Theme Panel (WordPress Dashboard Menu) > Theme Options section.

PLEASE NOTE! The screenshots with the settings below are taken from Default Skin.

Widgets

Widgets are the blocks of content that can be placed into specifically designed widget areas.

You can find the list of available widgets and widget areas under Appearance (WP Dashboard) > Widgets. Here it is possible to create additional widget sets, that can be assigned to available default widget areas. This is useful when you have different widget sets for different pages.

IMPORTANT! Our theme supports both Classic Widgets Editor and New Block Widgets Editor (WordPress 5.8+). You can easily switch between the editors using the "Disable new Widgets Block Editor" option in Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons > General section.

By default our theme supports 1 widget area:

  • Sidebar

You can add widgets into widget areas by simply dragging and dropping.

But in order to see them on your website, you need to make sure you have a particular widget set assigned to a particular default widget area. You can assign widget sets either for the whole website (in Appearance > Customize), or for a specific page (single Page > Theme Options > Content).

IMPORTANT! The Sidebar widgets are available for "Default" sidebar style ONLY!
In order to manage custom sidebar, proceed to Dashboard > Layouts tab for layouts or to WP Dashboard > Appearance > Editor (beta) > Template Parts for template parts. Update the corresponding sidebar styles.

Widget Sets Assignment for the Whole Site

Body widgets (for sidebar) are accessible in Appearance > Customize > General section.
The sidebar widgets work for Default Sidebar Style only! Otherwise, navigate to the WP Dashboard > Layouts tab or to WP Dashboard > Appearance > Editor (beta) > Template Parts to manage the sidebar layout/template part.

Widget Sets Assignment for a Specific Page

If you want to specify a widget set for a separate page, open that page in your WordPress admin and in the Theme Options section choose the required widgets. The widgets assigned in Theme Options would be applicable only for that particular page.

Customizing Widget Sets that are already enabled on a Specific Page

Depending on the selected page that is available for editing with Customizer's tools, you can notice a different kind of widgets sets included to a particular page. The same can be done through Appearance (WP Dashboard) > Widgets.

Below are options responsible for managing widgets/blocks.

  • Add a Widget (for Classic Widgets Editor) or Add a Block (for New Block Widgets Editor): just click on "Add a Widget/Block" button to see the available widgets, then choose the one you want to use: Click on the block itself to open its settings (for New Block Widgets Editor):
  • Reorder the position of widgets using three icons:

    • Move - moves the widget to another sidebar.
    • Down - moves the widget down.
    • Up - moves the widget upwards.

After you reorder the position of the widgets/blocks in the sidebar, save your changes.

The Other font is used for the following elements:

For Default and Creative Agency Skins:

  • Blockquotes;

For Advertising Agency Skin:

  • Blockquotes;

Colors

The theme allows you to assign color schemes to specific parts of your website. This is useful for highlighting certain areas and giving them a distinctive look.

"Default" skin supports 3 color schemes - default (light), dark and alter light.

Check this video tutorial for more information on how to customize color schemes.

IMPORTANT! Due to specifics of CSS rules, you are unable to assign a light color scheme to any website part, if the dark color scheme is enabled.

Here are the website parts to which you can assign color schemes:

  • Show Helpers - enables a colored border arround a block in the Customizer with an element's name and color scheme applied to this particular element. The helper can be useful for editing the theme's color schemes. It helps you understand the colors of what elements you are customizing.
  • Site Color Scheme - defines the main color scheme of your website. If no other part of website has a color scheme specified explicitly, affects the whole website. Otherwise, affects the body background color, body typography and pretty much anything that is located below the header and above the footer areas (except sidebar).
  • Header Color Scheme - modifies the color scheme of the header.
  • Sidebar Color Scheme - affects the color of the sidebar. The Inherit option inherits the value specified in the Site Color Scheme setting.
  • Footer Color Scheme - specifies the color of your footer.

You can also assign color schemes for individual pages in the Theme Options > Colors panel of those pages.

Color Scheme Editor

Here you can customize the color schemes of your website.

Three additional buttons are available:

  • Reset - removes the current changes, made after your last saving.
  • Copy - creates a new color scheme by duplicating the default one. Thus, it is possible to set different color schemes for particular pages and their parts.
  • Delete - removes the current color scheme. You can delete only newly created color schemes. All default ones will remain.

Select the color scheme you want to customize and choose one of 2 modes (editor types) - simple or advanced.

In a simple mode, you can customize the accent colors (link colors) of a theme. If you want to dig deeper, switch to the advanced mode. You can entirely change the theme colors.

Both modes contain the following groups of settings:

MAIN

The main color group of a website. Here you can find the following elements:

  • Background color - the main background color of a website; (for advanced mode only)
  • Border color - color used for elements with a border and for content delimiters; (for advanced mode only)
  • Text - color for the main body text; (for advanced mode only)
  • Text dark - color mainly applied for headings and page/post titles; (for advanced mode only)
  • Text light - color used for additional meta elements, such as post author, date, comments, etc. (for advanced mode only)
  • Link - the main accent color of a website. The color can be used as links color, a background color for buttons and the color for minor elements, like list item markers, etc. By default, this setting sets the Link hover color for the Alter color group.
  • Link hover - the hover color of the elements with the main accent color and the hover color for links. It can also be used as the main accent color for the Alter color group.
  • Accent 2 - the second accent color;
  • Accent 2 hover - the hover color of the elements with second accent colors;
  • Accent 3 - the third accent color;
  • Accent 3 hover - the hover color of the elements with third accent colors;

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). This group of colors can also be applied to page widgets or blocks that are output on some background by default (the background is NOT added through the page builders). 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.

  • Border color;
  • Border hover;
  • Text color - the main body text color;
  • Text dark - used for headings or other elements that need a darker color;
  • Text light - used for meta elements that provide additional information;
  • Link color - since the main accent color (i.e. the link color) sets the background color, you need to specify a different link color;
  • Link hover - the hover color of the link;

INPUT (for advanced mode only)

Colors for form fields: input fields, text areas, select fields, etc.

  • Background - background color of an input field;
  • Background hover - background color when an input field is active;
  • Border color;
  • Border hover - border color when a field is active;
  • Text - a regular text color;
  • Text dark - the color of the text when a field is active (as you type in);
  • Text light - used for the placeholder text when a field is not active, before you type in;

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.

Background

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.

New Page Creation

To create a new page navigate to "Pages" dashboard menu item in your WordPress admin panel and click on Add new button.

Page Templates

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:

  1. Official Site Editor page
  2. Official Documentation for Templates
  3. Official Documentation for Template Parts
  4. Official Documentation for Blocks
  5. Official Documentation for Theme Blocks

Custom Page Settings

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.

Assigning a Page as a Homepage

Once you finished with building your page, assign it as a Homepage:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Reading menu item in the WordPress dashboard menu.
  2. In Your homepage displays section select A static page (select below) option and choose the necessary page from the Homepage drop-down list.
  3. Save the changes.

Alternatively, you can assign a page as a homepage in Appearance > Customize > Homepage Settings.


PLEASE NOTE! Default skin comes with the following Homepages.

Home - Corporate (Default Skin)

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.

Mouse Helper or Custom Cursor Styles

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):

Home - Advertising Agency Skin

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.

Creative Agency Skin

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.

Custom CSS Classes

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.

CSS classes for pre-built Template Parts

  • .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). The text color is inherited from Appearance > Customize > Colors > your color scheme > Alter > Text.
  • .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. Front-end

Introduction to Layouts

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.

Creating 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:

  1. Header - the layout is applied only to output in the header area. It appears in the list of available headers in Appearance > Customize > Header > Header Style > Custom.
  2. Footer - the layout is applied only to output in the footer area. It appears in the list of available footers in Appearance > Customize > Footer > Footer Style > Custom.

    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.

  3. Submenu - the layout is used to create custom dropdown menu without installing Uber Menu/Mega Menu plug-ins. You can apply the submenu layout in the Appearance > Menus > Layout of submenu (optional) field.
    "Layout of submenu" field appears only when at least one submenu layout is created.
    Please view this article for more information about submenu layouts.
  4. Sidebar - the layout is applied only to output in the sidebar area. It helps create custom sidebars using Site Editor. Thus, you are not limited to standard blocks and can use any elements available in the page builder. It appears in the list of available sidebars in the Appearance > Customize > General/Blog/Shop/Plugin Settings sections or in page > Theme Options > Content > Sidebar style > Custom.
  5. Blog - custom style or template to output posts elements in "Blogger" block ("TRX Addons Blocks" group), thus creating page blocks with unique overall look. Use it in combination with "Blog Item Parts" block ("TRX Addons Layouts" group), that lets you insert any post parts (featured image, title, meta data, content, custom fields) to page in any combination and in any quantity.
  6. Custom - the standard layout fragment that can be added into a web page using a Layouts block ("TRX Addons Layouts" group).

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:

  1. In the left panel with Site Editor blocks open "TRX Addons Layouts" group, click on the "Layouts" block.
  2. Choose the desired custom Layout from the dropdown list ("Type" option should be set to "Default").

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:

  • Blogger block - open a page/post, in the Site Editor blocks panel navigate to ""TRX Addons Blocks" group" and insert "Blogger" block to the content area, in the "Layout" field select your blog layout.

Creating a Mobile Header in Layouts

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:

  • Desktop – larger than 1680px;
  • Notebook – from 1168px to 1679px;
  • Tablet – from 768px to 1167px;
  • Mobile – lesser than 767px;

Layouts Blocks

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.

Blog Item Parts

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.

Cart

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.

Container

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.

Iconed Text

Inserts an icon and two text lines. It is possible to add a URL to the icon.

Layouts

Inserts content in different ways, depending on the type of the layout:

  • Default - displays one of the custom layouts available in WP Dashboard > Layouts post type. Please click here to view the list of available custom layouts.
  • Popup - creates popup notifications that appear whenever a user clicks on a link or a button.
  • Panel - creates a panel with some content/menu that appears whenever a user clicks on a link or a button.
  • Panel Menu - creates a panel with some content/menu that appears whenever a user clicks on a link or a button. You can specify the panel menu style (fullscreen or narrow) and vertical menu style (default or extra).

Select which type of the layout to use in the layouts block's general settings.

The algorithm of building a popup notification or panel:

  1. Create a custom layout with required content that will be displayed in the popup window or a panel. If you want to use simple text/image or shortcode (like grid gallery, mailchimp form, etc.), just omit this step.
  2. In the left panel with Site Editor blocks open "TRX Addons Layouts" group, click on the "Layouts" block. Select the desired block's type (popup/panel/panel menu) and custom Layout from the dropdown list (Layout field) or enter simple text/shortcode in the Content field (if "Layout" option is set to "Use content").
  3. In the block's settings under the General tab, Popup (panel) ID field, assign the ID to your popup/panel, e.g. example_popup.
  4. Use this popup/panel ID, preceded by a pound sign (#), as an address for the link or button that should trigger the popup/panel.

Login Link

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:

  1. Select the Layout where you want to place a new logo by going to Layouts (WP Dashboard) > All Layouts.
  2. Locate the Logo block (TRX Addons Layouts group) and proceed to block's settings panel.
  3. Upload a new logo in the panel > General tab and save the changes.

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.

Menu

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:

  • Default - standard menu with links.
  • Burger - just a button that opens Mobile menu.

Direction of the menu items: Horizontal or Vertical.

Specify default behavior for a responsive menu in the General tab:

  • Mobile button - choose whether to replace the menu with a menu button when switching to the mobile version.
  • Add to the mobile menu - use this menu as a mobile menu only.
  • Hide on mobile devices - whether to hide or display this menu on mobile devices.

Single Post Meta

Displays elements from meta data of the current post (categories, post author, post date, post counters, share links, edit link).

Search Form

Adds a search button/input field. There are 3 styles available:

  • Normal - a standard search field.
  • Expand - displays a search button that expands a search field on click.
  • Fullscreen - displays a search button that expands the search field to the entire screen.

Title and Breadcrumbs

Displays a title and breadcrumbs of the currently opened page/post.

Widgets

Displays one of the available widget sets (sidebars from Appearance > Widgets).

Row & Section (Column) Settings

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.

CSS Classes for Additional Row Settings:

  • Row type - defines a row type. It accepts the following values:
    1. Narrow Row - .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).
    2. Compact Row - .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).
    3. Normal Row - .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.
  • Fix this row when scroll - .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.
    To avoid "Sticky Menu" behavior remove this CSS class.
  • Hide this row on unfix - .sc_layouts_row_hide_unfixed - hides the row until scrolling down.

CSS Classes for Additional Section (Column) Settings

  • Section (Column) alignment - choose the alignment of the elements inside a section (column): Left, Center or Right.
    1. Left section (column) alignment - .sc_layouts_column_align_left;
    2. Center section (column) alignment - .sc_layouts_column_align_center;
    3. Right section (column) alignment - .sc_layouts_column_align_right;

PLEASE NOTE! These section (column) and row settings are applicable to layout-specific blocks only.

Default Layouts

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.

You can view the list of available Layouts in Layouts (WP Dashboard) > All Layouts.

All layouts are divided into six types. For more information on how to add each type of layouts to the page, please view Creating Layouts section of this documentation file.

Blocks in WordPress let you add different kinds of functionality to your website without writing a single line of code.

Our theme comes with a number of custom blocks allowing you to add information in a simple way.

Custom blocks (with icon functionality) support icons from standard Fontello icons set. You can expand the list of available icons by adding new ones from the fontello website. In order to add new icons proceed to wp-content/themes/your-theme/skins/skin_name/css/font-icons/config.json. Watch this video guide for more information.
Please note, the location of config.json file and website page builder with available set of blocks in your theme may vary from the video provided!

PLEASE NOTE! Below you can find examples of custom blocks that come with Default Skin. The number of the blocks may vary depending on the plug-ins installed.

All custom Blocks are divided into the following groups of elements in the Site Editor:

"TRX Addons Blocks" group

Action

This block inserts "Call to action" or columns layout.

Example:

Anchor

The "Anchor" block inserts an anchor element that lets you link to specific parts of your page (or to other pages).

If you want to add smooth navigation between your anchors, check the Scroll to Anchor box in Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > Shortcodes > Anchor section.

Blogger

This block displays posts, pages or custom post types from a specified category or group. Just specify the post type to show the posts from in the Blogger > General > Post Type field in the block's settings panel. By default, the block outputs single posts.

You can create additional layouts to output the posts in the WP Dashboard > Layouts using Blog layout's type (Item Options section). Please see Creating Layouts section of this documentation file for more information.

Example:

If you want to select more than one item from the drop down list, just hold "Shift" button and continue picking out.

You can edit the post excerpt text by opening the corresponding blog post, and adjusting text in the Excerpt field.

Enable the Excerpt field in the Preferences > Panels panel in the top right corner of the post.

You can enable additional taxonomy attributes (text color, text hover color and icon) for definite groups/categories of posts/post types in Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons > Extended Taxonomy tab. Then navigate to a particular category/group of posts/post types in WP Dashboard and set the required attributes.

IMPORTANT! The layout of the block depends on the combination of 2 main options: "Layout" and "Template". Please feel free to play around with these options.

PLEASE NOTE! Some non-standard hover effects of blogger block require the Mouse Helper Add-on to be active. Such hover effects are imbedded into the block's style: Layout "List", Template "Simple (hover)". The image on hover is a featured image of a particular post.

PLEASE NOTE! The hover effects highlighted on the screenshot below require the Image Effects Add-on to be active.

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.

As a free addition to this theme, we have included a unique ThemeREX Addons plug-in. Once activated, it allows expanding the options of the theme noticeably. These add-ons allow you to use custom widget sets and custom blocks, show custom post types, set links to your social profiles as well as some advanced theme-specific settings.

After plug-in's installation, the "ThemeREX Addons" menu item should appear in the "Theme Panel" tab in WordPress dashboard menu panel. All screenshots in this chapter are from Default skin.

Below is a brief description of all the available settings.

General

Settings of this tab define the general behavior of your theme.

General Settings

  • Debug Mode - Enable debug functions and theme profiler output.

    IMPORTANT! There is a separate file for each script snippet .js and style related .css data. For better theme performance the system automatically re-compiles/re-merges these files into a single .js/.css related one after every "Save Options" button click in Customizer (Appearance > Customize) and ThemeREX Addons settings (Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons).
    In case the "Debug Mode" is on, the theme does not run the re-compile/re-merge mode, so each and every file loads separately. That is why we do recommend to turn this mode on only if you need to edit/customize the source script and style related files. Please do not edit the following (re-merged) files: trx_addons.css, trx_addons.js, __colors.css, __style.css, __scripts.js.
  • Disable new Widgets Block Editor - disable new Widgets Block Editor, if after the update to WordPress 5.8+ you are having trouble with editing widgets or working in Customizer. New Widgets Block Editor is used in WordPress 5.8+ instead of classic widgets panel.
  • Image dimensions - Which dimensions will be used for the uploaded images: "Original" or "Retina ready" (twice enlarged).
    If "Retina" option is enabled, twice enlarged images will be loaded on devices with retina displays and regular images will be used for non-retina screens. The system automatically creates retina versions for all sets of thumbnails. This will significantly enlarge your disc space. It doesn't work for previously uploaded images. In this case you can install and launch any plug-in, like regenerate thumbnails, after switching this option.
  • Quality for cropped images - Specify range of quality (1-100) to save cropped images.

    PLEASE NOTE If you change the images quality, do not forget to regenerate the thumbnails again.

  • Animate inner links - This setting adds "smooth scroll" effect to the inner page links.
  • Open external links in a new window - If checked, this setting adds parameter target="_blank" to all external links.
  • Popup Engine - Choose one of two scripts to display your popup images.

Preloader

  • Show page preloader - Select or upload page preloader image for your site.

    • Page preloader bg color - Specify background color for the page preloader. If empty - no preloader is used.
    • Page preloader image - Select or upload page preloader image. If empty - no preloader is used. This option is available for "Custom" preloader style only.

Scroll helpers

  • Progress bar of reading the article - Enable/disable the progress bar of reading the article.
  • Add "Scroll to Top" - Add "Scroll to Top" button when page is scrolled.
  • Hide fixed rows - Hide fixed rows when the page is scrolled down and show them on scroll up.
  • Enable smooth scroll - Allow smooth scrolling of site pages with the mouse wheel.

Menu

  • Collapse menu - Whether you need to group menu items or not, if they don't fit in one line.
  • Icon - Select icon of the menu item with collapsed elements.
  • Stretch a submenu with layouts - Stretch a submenu with layouts (only the first level) to content width.
  • Breadcrumbs nestings - Specify the necessary nesting level for breadcrumbs.

Search enchance

  • Search for terms - if enabled, makes standard WordPress search, "Search Form" block from "TRX Addons Layouts" group (for pages) and "ThemeREX Products Filter" widget (for sidebars) support search keywords among all registered taxonomies (categories, tags, product attributes, etc.). The taxonomy searches will significantly slow down the results page.

Performance Settings

  • Optimize CSS and JS loading - Disable CSS and JS files from loading if they are not used on the current page.

    • No - Load all CSS and JS files (optimization disabled);

    • Full - Load CSS and JS files on the pages where they are used (for theme styles, ThemeREX Addons plug-in and all supported plug-ins).
  • Disable Emoji - Remove Emojis scripts and styles if you don't use them.

Secondary Image (available if Secondary Image Add-on is active)

This section is responsible for applying secondary image functionality to a definite post type. Secondary image is a separate hover image for a single post that can be viewed on post type archive pages and in page sections that are built using the Site Editor blocks, like Blogger ("TRX Addons Blocks" group); Services, Team ("TRX Addons Custom Post Types" group); etc.
The number of available post types may vary from one skin to another.

In order to add such hover effect to a single post, open the back-end view of the post and upload the image in the "Secondary Image" section.

Shortcodes

Here you can define whether you want to use the Anchor block or not, specify hover effects for form fields and also allows you to use custom layouts and saved templates inside tabs (for Elementor ONLY!).

"Allow custom layouts" option adds "Content type" dropdown to Tabs block, allowing you to use custom layouts and saved templates inside tabs. We recommend you to leave this option disabled if you are not planning to insert layouts/templates inside tabs.

Extended Taxonomy

Here you can enable some extended taxonomy attributes for a particular group/category of posts/post types. You can output the large/small image using the "Widget: Categories List" block (TRX Addons Widgets group).

Navigate to a particular category/group of posts/post types in WP Dashboard and set the required attributes.

Theme Specific

Settings of this section override the default theme's grid classes, page wrap class and recreate layouts. We recommend leaving these settings intact.

Create Layouts setting is responsible for recreating the set of predefined layouts. It might become useful in case there are no layouts available after theme installation.

Advanced theme add-ons enhance the functionality of a WordPress theme. They come prepacked with the theme and require ThemeREX Addons plug-in to be active.

Once you have activated your theme (entered your purchase code), please navigate to the Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > Theme Dashboard > Addons tab and make sure that all advanced add-ons, provided with the theme, are active. Now you can proceed with demo data installation and further theme customization. Here you can activate/deactivate, download or update add-ons if needed.

If you have enabled the audio effects for a definite post type, you will gain control over the sound effects on single posts/pages from this post type in their Item Options settings. These individual settings of each page/post may override global settings made with "Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons".

Mouse Helper Add-on

This add-on displays decorative elements when the mouse hovers over various page objects.

Once the add-on is active, the "Mouse helper" section should appear in the Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > Mouse helper tab in WordPress dashboard menu panel. Here you can set the behavior of the mouse helper globally.

By default, an "image on hover" effect is imbedded into the following Site Editor blocks. The image on hover is a featured image of a particular post.

  • Portfolio block ("TRX Addons Custom Post Types" group) in "Simple" style;
  • Blogger block ("TRX Addons Blocks" group) in Layout "List", Template "Simple (hover)";

Secondary Image Add-on

This add-on is responsible for providing a possibility to upload a separate image that will be used as a hover for the existing image of a single post. Such hovers can be viewed on post type archive pages and in page sections that are built using the Site Editor blocks, like Blogger ("TRX Addons Blocks" group); Services, Team, Portfolio ("TRX Addons Custom Post Types" group); etc.

First of all you should specify the post types to which the secondary image functionality will be applied in the Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons > Secondary Image section.

Once this is done, open the back-end view of a single post from the selected post type and upload a hover image in the "Secondary Image" section. Please note, that this section is draggable.

WooCommerce

WooCommerce is an industry leader e-commerce plug-in for WordPress. Our theme is fully compatible with this great tool, allowing you to turn your website into sales machine in just a few clicks. You simply need to install this plug-in and allow it to create a set of pages to display categories, products etc. Then you need to add a set of products.

We highly encourage you to read the great documentation files WooCommerce offers. These manuals help to create effective and reliable on line stores providing more features than you can imagine. Here is a list of really useful links helping you create and polish your shop.

  1. Documentation - official plug-in documentation.
  2. Free and Premium extensions - powerful toolbox bringing more features to your shop.
  3. iOS app for WooCommerce - this application gives you full control over your shop.

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/skins/skin_name/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.

For more information on how to use Poedit, please check the following resources:

This chapter is for those who whould like to speed up their websites and care about the page loading speed. There are a lot of different ways to make your website work faster, but we will focus on caching plug-ins we have used on our demos, though they are not provided with the theme.

A lot of users access the website at the same time. This makes the server work slowly and takes more time to load the web page for each user. Caching is the way to store the current version of your web page on the server and prevent from sending requests to the server for each user each time.

Below you can find short description of the caching plug-in we have used on our demo (Default Skin) as well as its main settings. Please feel free to play around with the plug-in's settings yourself in order to receive the better result.
