Common Issues and Questions

1. Slider Alias or ID Not Found For Layer or Revolution Slider

If you already have sliders made, its possible that our demo sliders may not be applied to the pages. You may see an error such as Revolution Slider Error: Slider with alias homepage not found or LayerSlider cannot be found. Sliders are applied by the Slider ID and each slider gets its own unique ID and they are given in numerical order. If you open up a page after importing the content, and you see an error like that.

Solution: You only need to edit the page and assign the slider to the page. To verify you have the sliders, go to the Layer or Revolution Slider section of your admin to see them listed. If you do not see them, then you can import them separately

2. Demo Import Fails or Times Out

Whenever that happens its due to low server memory or execution time, and your host should definitely be willing to adjust that, they have it very low if the content will not import. Contact them and explain the issue, they should raise it for you. Please see some important links below dealing with this.

• What to do if demo content import fails
• WordPress Memory Exhausted Error
• 500 Internal Server Error

3. Demo Content Duplicated

When you import our demo content it can take several minutes depending on the speed of your server. Each time the button is clicked it will import the content, so if it is clicked twice it will import everything two times. There are two ways to get rid of duplicate content.

WP Reset Plugin – This plugin is the fastest way to get rid of content. However, it will remove all content from your database and leave the default theme activated. It does not remove plugins, but will deactivate them and remove all pages, posts, menus, sliders, widget data, theme options, etc. Basically it removes all the content that you imported from our theme. Only do this if you are able to start over. Click Here To Download.

Manual Removal – This method will take longer and simply involves manual removing of duplicate items. For example, go to the Appearance;Menus['labels] and delete duplicate items one by one. Same goes for pages, post, sliders, etc.

Translation Basics

If you are new to translating WordPress, this is the right point to start. In general, internationalization and localization (commonly abbreviated as i18n and l10n respectively) are terms used to describe the effort to make WordPress available in languages other than English, for people from different locales. The actual localization is done using the GNU gettext framework, which is used by WordPress itself including the themes and plugins.

In order to make WordPress recognize the language to which you want to translate the core WordPress, the theme or the plugins, you have to define the language within the wp-config.php file or change a setting within the dashboard. The process is dependent on the WordPress version and is described below:

For Pre-WordPress 4.0 Users

1. Login to your FTP account and edit the wp-config.php file. In the wp-config.php file, look for WPLANG constant which looks like the following code:

2. Define the WPLANG constructor by adding the ISO language code of your language. The names consist of locals, a combination of language and regional dialect. Examples: de_DE, nl_NL, es_ES (for more info see here: ISO language codes) e.g. for translating to Deutsch language, change the WPLANG constant will look like the following code:

For WordPress 4.0 or 4.0+ Users

3. After the wp-config.php file is edited, login to WP-admin dashboard and navigate to Settings → General Settings page. Make sure Site Language option is set correctly.

Translating The Theme

Our themes are 100% translatable and multi-lingual ready and we recommend that you use the very popular WPML plugin. But if you are not using WPML or any translation plugin and want to setup your native language for that you need to edit .PO files. There are different editors out there for the purpose but I recommend POEdit. POEdit is easy to use, it is available for all platforms and it is freeware. You can get it here: Download POEdit

1. Goto folder wp-content → themes → {our_theme} → languages.
2. Open the en_US.po in POEdit and you will find all English text strings in the left column (Source Text). Once you add translations those will show up in the right column (Translation).
3. Choose the line you want to translate and then check the lower part of the POEdit window where you will find a textarea to add the correct translation.
4. When you are done translating all needed strings save the file with your language code, for example: de_DE.po. The corresponding .mo file will be auto created. Make sure both are in {Theme}/languages folder. Everytime you update the .po file, make sure to upload both .po and the compiled .mo file in {Theme}/languages folder.
