We’re incredibly pleased and overwhelmed that you have chosen a theme from RadiantThemes for your website. We're sure you wont be disappointed! Here, we outline all types of the necessary information and provide you with all the essential details you require for using the theme. Our themes can only be used with WordPress and we presume that you already have WordPress installed and ready to go.

Essential Requirements and Recommended Settings--

Recommended Hosting

We recommend using a cPanel or Plesk based hosting from a renowned hosting service provider. Many low-cost providers provide their custom web-based panel which most of the time don’t have the required configuration to run websites smoothly.

We recommend using Siteground.com for any hosting related need. Order plain cPanel based hosting. Don’t order just WordPress Hosting from any hosting provider. WordPress hosting has lots of limitation and you might not be able to accomplish everything.

Ideally cPanel, Plesk driven control panels work seamlessly. Also, make sure that your provider uses the latest version of PHPMyAdmin. The older version of PHP and PHPMyAdmin might not support.

We can troubleshoot and help, if you use cPanel, Plesk, Webmin, web panel, zpanel types of control panel. Also, when you ask for our help, please consider sending control panel access. Only FTP access might not be sufficient always.

Recommended PHP Configuration Limits

Add/edit header

Header styles are coming through ‘Elementor’ and you can edit those styles from ‘Template > Saved Templates’.

Those templates which are assigned under 'Custom Header' are the templates of header. You can edit all those templates through ‘Elementor’.

You can add new templates for header and sticky header from ‘Templates > Add New’ (Choose ‘Section’ as template type, name your template and click on the ‘CREATE TEMPLATE button).

After creating the template, please choose the ‘Custom Header’ category for that template.

You can edit header by editing existing elements through ‘Elementor’. Also, you can add Logo, Menu, Cart Icon, Search or any other things on your new header by using our specific elements as per below:-

1) Logo:- You can add logo by using our ‘Custom Logo’ element. You can provide your logo image and height and width for the image from that element. You can change the logo for the sticky header from 'Floating Logo' field.

2) Menu and Search:- At first, create menu from ‘Appearance > Menus. After that, You can add that menu on header by using our ‘Header Custom Menu’ element. You need to choose your already created menu (Which you’ve created from ‘Appearance > Menus’) on ‘Select Menu’ field. You xcan add 'Search' too through this element.

Setup header

If you want to run a common header for all pages, then choose any header style as per your choice from ‘Theme Options > Header > General > Select Header Style’.

Different header on individual pages:- If you want a different header for any specific page, then choose any header style from that page from the ‘Select Custom Header’ section except the ‘Theme Default Header’. ‘Theme Default Header’ is the current header style of ‘Theme Options > Header > General > Select Header Style’ which is common for all pages.

For example, if you select 'Home One Header' from Theme Options > Header > General > Select Header Style’ and Theme Default Header’ from any specific page, then ‘Home One Header’ will run on that page. So, if you want a different header for any specific page, then select any header style except the ‘Theme Default Header’ from that page.

You can choose individual header for Blog and Blog detail pages, attorney and case study detail pages from ‘Theme Options > Header > General’.

Change logo

You can change the logo from the specific header template you're using. For example, 'Home One Header' header is running on https://atonista.radiantthemes.com/ page, so you can change logo for that page from 'Templates > Saved Templates > Home One Header' template through elementor.

Add/Edit menu

You can add new menu item or can add new menu from 'Appearance > Menus'. If you've added a new menu and want to add that menu on any specific page, then you need to go to the header template of that page and assign that menu. For example, if you want to change menu on https://atonista.radiantthemes.com/ page, then you need to edit 'Templates > Saved Templates > Home One Header' template through elementor as 'Home One Header' header is running on that page and after editing that template, you need to assign menu on that header template.

Use Poedit software

For individuals who desire translation using files included in the theme, we suggest using the .mo/.po files. These files work in ‘buddies’ or pairs, so for every language, you must have 2 files with the same name but with a different extension name altogether. For example, if you wish to translate into the French language, your files would be fr_FR.mo and fr_FR.po

To make edits on these files, you have to use Poedit which is an “easy to use” software. You only need to upload our provided .pot file into Poedit, then edit relevant text values, save the file and upload them into the language folder that is included or provided in the theme.

Use Loco Translate

You can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/ plugin for translate too.
