Installation Information
Theme Requirements
To use this theme you must be running WordPress 5.0 or higher, PHP 5.6.20 or higher (for Booked plug-in PHP 7.0 +). If you use hosting with limited resources (for example GoDaddy and other lowcost shared hosting providers), you may experience issues with one-click demo data installation feature.
We recommend you to contact your web hosting service provider to make sure that your server PHP configuration limits are as follows:
- max_execution_time 600
- memory_limit (up to) 256M
- 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 256M 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 plugins.
IMPORTANT! To avoid any errors that might come up during the installation we recommend to have memory limit set up to 512M.
Here is the list of other recommended web hosting services:
- Bluehost (Exclusive Offer for our Customers: -70% OFF)
- SiteGround
- InMotion Hosting
Installation
Unpacking the theme
Before installing the theme, please make sure you unpacked the archive and extracted theme files. After unzipping the archive, you will see the following files:
If you try to install the wrong files, you will get missing style.css file error. This is the most common error that means you are trying to install an incorrect package.
To install "Alliance" theme, you must have WordPress installed. For information regarding WordPress platform installation, please check the WordPress Codex or check this great video tutorial.
Update WordPress: To ensure a positive user experience, we highly recommend updating your WordPress to the latest stable version. This will help utilizing all of the latest features of WordPress.
You can install the theme in two ways:
-
via FTP:
- Log into your web server with FTP client software.
- Unzip the alliance.zip file and ONLY use the extracted /alliance theme folder.
- Upload the extracted /alliance theme folder into /wp-content/themes folder.
- Activate the newly installed theme. Go to Appearance > Themes and activate it.
- via WordPress:
- Login to admin panel.
- Go to Appearance - Themes and click on the Add New button.
- Choose Upload theme option. Click on Browse... (Choose file in Safari/Chrome), select the "alliance.zip" and click Install Now button.
- After the successful installation, click on Activate or go to Appearance - Themes and click on Activate to activate the newly installed theme.
- After the theme is activated, you will be prompted to install recommended
plugins: BP Better Messages, Booked Appointments, BuddyDrive, BuddyPress, Contact Form 7, Essential Grid, Event Organiser, Responsive Poll, Themerex Updater, WPBakery PageBuilder, Wp-Pro-Quiz and bbPress.
All these plugins are included into the theme archive, or can be installed from the WordPress.org repository.
The theme can function without any of these plugins. But if you want your website look precisely as the demo page, you have to install all recommended plugins and import demo content. This is a good idea if you are building your website from scratch.
However, if you have an existing website, you should be very careful with plugin installation and importing demo data: this may affect the website content and structure. Please read the Demo Content article for details. - A new menu item Appearance -> Theme Options will appear.
- Attention! If you want to make changes in theme’s templates or functions, we recommend activating a child theme before demo data installation, otherwise the Theme Options will be lost. Please see the Child Theme section for more information.
Plugins Installation
In order to make the theme look exactly as the demo page, you need to install recommended plugins. Click on Begin installing plugins link.
You will be redirected to plugins installation page. Check all listed plugins, select Install option and click on Apply button. Installation may take a few minutes, please be patient and do not refresh the page.
After the installation you will get a notification informing that plugins were installed successfully.
Attention! Our theme is compatible with The GDPR Framework and Cookie Information (formerly WP GDPR Compliance) plugins, though they are not included into the theme's package.
Attention! WooCommerce plugin has not been tested with the theme. Additional customization of the theme source files may be needed for their full compatibility. Please contact our custom web studio to integrate the plugin.
Gutenberg Compatibility
Our theme is compatible with Gutenberg page builder. You can create new pages using this editor.
All existing demo pages are built using WPBakery Page Builder and should be customized through WPBakery Page Builder ONLY.
PLEASE NOTE! It is possible to switch between the page builders. Please use One page builder for creating/customizing One particular page/post.
Child Theme
Child theme is for developers willing to make changes to core functions and code. If you are not planning to dig that deep, you can just skip this chapter.
IMPORTANT: If you want to make changes in theme’s templates or functions, we recommend that you install the child theme and apply changes there. To learn more about the purpose and basis of creation of child theme, please visit WordPress Codex.
Attention! When activating a child theme or switching back to the parent theme, the theme options will be lost (That was the requirement of the ThemeForest team). We recommend activating a child theme before demo data installation.
In the theme package you will see materials for the child theme. It’s located in the "alliance-child.zip" archive. You can install the child theme just like you installed the main theme (see above, in the section "Installation").
A few recommendations on how to use a Child Theme from ThemeREX:
- Almost all files from the main theme can be replaced in a child theme. It doesn’t concern only .php-files with templates and basic logic, but also both .js, .css files from respective folders and files with images, icons etc..
- If you want to change some of the theme-related functions or to add new ones, copy/add all the required functions into 'functions.php' in the "alliance-child" folder. If our theme contains functions with such names, they will be replaced with yours, if not – your functions will
complete our theme logics.
IMPORTANT: If you want to replace some functions from other files (except functions.php), e.g. from _wp_utils.php or _utils.php, we do not recommend you to copy respective files into the child theme, but you should create the respective functions in functions.php in the child theme. This should be done, so that when updating the theme, new functions from these files are available for use.
As for other files - put out the templates from the folder 'templates', images from the folder 'images' etc. - to make changes copy theme into the folder 'child theme' and make changes there.
Demo Content
Our themes have simple One click demo data import tool. It's very easy to use, and you can get a precise copy of our demo website in just 1 click.
Before installing demo data, please make sure you have installed all the required plugins, please refer to Plugins installation section of this document for details.
To import demo content into a WordPress site, please follow these steps:
- Log in to your site as an administrator.
- If you see a message prompting to install required Universal Services Plugin, click on "Begin installing plugins" and
install it on the corresponding page.
IMPORTANT: The rest of recommended plugins (Revolution Slider, WPBakery Page Builder) are not mandatory for installation of demo content but highly recommended.
- Go to Appearance -> Install Demo Data:
- On the page that showed up please set the required parameters.
- Only pages, forms and sliders - Allows you to select the content you need to be imported for a definite page, slider, etc. It is recommended when the site is already built.
- Whole demo-site content - Allows you to import whole demo content. It is recommended for new installations of WordPress.
IMPORTANT: When installing whole demo-data ALL EXISTING CONTENTS of your website will be deleted and replaced with the new data! We highly recommend that you install demo data only on blank WordPress install.
- Click on "Start Import" button.
IMPORTANT: Please wait while demo data is being copied from our server to your site. It may take a while and depends significantly upon Internet connection speed between your website and our server. Please wait patiently and do not refresh/leave the page.
- After the data is successfully imported you will see the "Congratulations" message:
In 99.9% it works fine, but if something went wrong and data was not imported, please repeat the procedure described above. The system will find the last item imported successfully and you will be able to continue the import.
In case "Demo Data" installation stuck and you see "Error load data from the file ... " error message, you can manually install it by downloading the demo.zip archive from our server. Extract the archive to demo/ folder and upload this demo/ folder to wp-content/themes/alliance directory.
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 provider to make sure that your server configuration meets the Theme Requirements. Otherwise, please contact our support team. Our tech support operators will assist you.
Theme Update
IMPORTANT: Before you go ahead with the update, please check theme changelog and make sure you backup your old theme folder. Download it to your computer locally.
It is a good practice to backup both your files and database regularly and especially before making some serious updates.
Update Option 1. Update using the ThemeREX Updater plugin
(for theme version 2.4.5 and above only!)
- Please make sure the ThemeREX Updater plugin is installed and activated. This plugin is provided with the theme.
-
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.
- We recommend you to check the "Create backups" option to allow the system create backups for plugins versions and the theme automatically.
-
Proceed to WP Dashboard > Updates and check if any updates are available.
- Choose the options for an update (plugin, theme, etc.) and click on Update button.
-
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 FTP client
- Log into your ThemeForest account and navigate to your downloads tab. Find the theme and download “Installable WordPress file”.
- Connect to your server using desktop client software (we recommend CyberDuck and Filezilla).
- Change directory to /wp-content/themes.
- Remove existing folder with old theme files.
- Unpack theme installable files downloaded from ThemeForest and upload to the theme folder.
- Update the included plugins if you see a notification message letting you know the plugins have a new version.
- Navigate to WP Dashboard -> Plugins -> Installed Plugins.
- Update Universal Services Plugin plugin. You can click on "Update" button (if available in a particular theme) or deactivate and delete this plugin. Then follow the prompt to install it again. This will load a new plugin version on the site.
- Deactivate and delete the rest plugin(s) of old version.
- Go to Appearance -> Install Plugins and install the plugin(s) like it was described in the Plugins Installation section of this documentation.
Save Theme Options
In case color styles/schemes, for some reason (for example after the theme update) fall back to their default settings/values, then you need to regenerate the styles and colors again. All you need to do is just navigate to Appearance -> Theme Options -> Customization -> General tab and click on "Save" button.
Quick Start
After the theme activation and demo content import, we are ready to get started with basic theme settings like site title, tagline, logo, favicon etc.
To change your site title and tagline, go to Settings -> General. Please note, these parameters are important for search engines.
Another great idea may be setting custom permalinks structure to make them more SEO friendly and human-readable. Go to Settings -> Permalinks and make changes according to the example below.
Now let's navigate to Appearance -> Theme Options. It gives you control over most of theme settings from one place. There are quite a lot of parameters here, but luckily the majority of them have default values that suit most of the users. We will take a closer look at them a bit later. Now just a few words about how it all works to give you the idea of our Settings Inheritance System.
IMPORTANT: One of the most important theme features is Settings Inheritance System. You can flexibly control the appearance and behaviour of the whole website and individual pages, posts and categories. You can set individual display styles, sliders, output settings of page components (posts), and many more for the required category or for each post separately. To sum it up, you can set global styles and then change them for each page/post/category individually. These changes will override global styles affecting selected elements and their descendant elements.
Dashboard
The theme comes with 3 Dashboard pages. To create each page, we used shortcodes and plugins used in the theme. This means you are not limited with these 3 pages, but have flexible and powerful tool to create your custom pages.
Dashboard 1 Page
To create the 1st block with Steve Jobs quote,
we should turn on visual composer, add Image element with small photo and align it to the left, then we should add a text (in text settings block you should select red color);
The next block is a bit more complicated, it is the next event announcement.
To build it, we should create a block container with a background image, please add "Next event" button, title and countdown shortcode. See the example below:
To create Announcements block, we also use a block container shortcode, "All events" button, usual text shortcode and a blogger shortcode:
If we take a look at the WPBakery Page Builder, we will see the following structure:
To create Fiscal Year End , we use "Islands graph shortcode".
Islands shortcode provides easy and intuitive interface allowing to build graphs:
if you click on any item you will see this interface:
The next block of content is created by notification shortcode and a group of standard widgets supplied with BuddyPress and WordPress:
As you can see, we used Who's online buddypress widget and Recent posts standard widget. Here is the screenshot of how it looks in the admin panel:
The background color for the page blocks can be customized in the Block Container Settings > General tab in the WPBakery backend editor.
Company Staff
Company staff section contains 3 pages:
- CEO - a page for company CEO or top managers.
- Team Leaders - a page for company department and team leaders.
- Departments - a sample department page.
To manage team members, Alliance theme has a custom post type named Team and a set of beautiful shortcodes allowing to display team members, their position, social profiles etc.
CEO Page
This page is totally created using WPBakery Page Builder. Let's take a closer look and see how every block is formed:
Block A is created manually with WPBakery Page Builder. It contains Heading block, chat block, icons, button and text blocks.
Here is the screenshot with details:
Block B is created using Video Shortcode that loads vimeo video selected by user.
Block C is created using special Timeline plugin. This is a premuim plugin integrated into the theme. To create the block you should setup your timeline 1st, luckily it's very easy. Simply find Timeline menu in WordPress admin area:
Click on add new button and add new timeline items from posts or gallery. As a result you will get a list of items like this:
When you are through with the setup, the plugin will generate a shortcode which you will just paste into any page, post or content block. The shortcode we pasted here is
[content_timeline id="1"]
Block D consists of block heading shortcode and unordered list.
Block E contains a set of graphs shortcodes and section container with text.
To create a precise copy of the page, simply copy-paste the code below into an empty page (TEXT mode must be enabled in WordPress text editor also known as TinyMCE).

This page is comparatively easy to build:

Department page
This page acts as a home page of sample department in your company. It has information about department head, department members and some general text information.
The 1st block is absolutely identical to Block A in CEO Page and has the same structure. Image shortcode is located in the top right corner. Central part is occupied with Team shortcode. At the bottom we used tabs shortcode. To create a copy of this page use the code below:

Blog
Blog is a very handy tool for company news and events page, so it's not just for bloggers. Besides that, we use blog functionality to create awesome galleries for your portfolio. To use the blog functionality in our theme, you need to create the blog stream page. To do this, you need to:
- Go to Pages under the WordPress menu and then click on Add New.
- Put your Title as usual ("Blog streampage" for example).
-
Choose "Blog streampage" as the page template.
- Publish this page.
IMPORTANT: It was an optional step. Even if you do not create a separate page for your blog stream page - you will still use the correct template to display a list of posts. However, creating a separate page will give you an extra advantage - you can set up individual features for blog stream page (position and type of sidebars, color scheme for each element on the page, etc.).
Now, assign the newly created page as "Posts page" (blog streampage). To do this:
- Select the menu item Settings - Readings
- In the field Homepage displays select "A static page (select below)", and in the list "Posts page:"choose the page you have created.
Blog Items
Now you can create blog posts.
- Go to Posts under the WordPress menu and then click on Add New.
- Put your Title as usual.
- Put Content if needed.
-
Select one or more categories under Categories.
-
Select desired Post Format.
- Standart - You can set the featured image here or do not use it.
- Gallery - Used to add a gallery in the post with standard means of WordPress (with Add Media button located above the editor). In the theme settings, you can specify whether you want to replace the original gallery with the built-in theme slider.
- Video - Used to add the YouTube or Vimeo video in the post with the shortcode [video].
- Audio - Used to add the Audio in the post with the shortcode [audio].
- Link - Used to add a link to the body of the post.
- Quote - Used to add text of the quotes (IMPORTANT: select it and mark as "Blockquote"), and after it - a link to the original source.
- Image - Used to add an image to the body of the post.
- Status - Used to add a one-row message to the body of the post.
- Aside - Used to add a short message to the body of the post.

Education
You can add various educational courses to improve the professional level of your employees. The theme uses best practice of Education online courses and LMS theme to provide easy and flexible tools for educational purposes.
Quizes
The theme is compatible with WP Quiz Pro plugin allowing to create simple quizes to check employeers skills and knowledge. Here is an example of quiz you can create using this plugin:
You can find detailed documentation about this plugin at the official website, as well as lot's of usage examples. After setting up the quiz via admin panel (WP dashboard > WP-Pro-Quiz > WP-Pro-Quiz) you should simply paste a shortcode generated by the plugin into any post or page, you will get a result just like on a screenshot above.
In the admin panel it looks like this:
In the example above, we have wrapped the shortcode with block element (40 pixels white padding) to give it more space and look consistently in the overall theme design.
Courses
Alliance theme provides a complete set of tools to organize online courses for your employees, both free and paid.
To access courses admin, please log into your WordPress admin area and find courses post type:
Courses post type allows you to create courses and categories. Every course has a set of custom parameters like price, teacher, schedule, etc:
Team

To add a new position, you should simply create a default category and then click on Add New button. The page you'll see allows you to add long description of the position and provides some extra fields applicable for Vacancies custom posts only.
Values inserted in the fields above are used in the search form and provide more information about the position. After adding this information you can click on Publish button in the top right corner of the page and the position will be available online.
To create a page with a list of available positions, first you should add them using Vacancies custom post type, and then just add a new page and paste this piece of code:
[trx_block bg_color="#fff" bg_padding="40"]
[trx_vacancies]
[/trx_block]
TRX_BLOCK shortcode creates a white container for the listing and TRX_VACANCIES shortcode puts out the list of available position and a search form. The result looks like the page below:

The contact form is built using the Contact Form 7 plugin.
Community
Community section is totally built with BuddyPress plugin. If you are willing to use this feature, you should install the plugin along with 2 extra plugins: BuddyDrive (allows you to add file sharing feature) and UserPress (allows you to add extra fields to standard WordPress users).
BuddyPress Plugin allows you to create a directory of your employees, add personel search form with various criterias, exchange personal messages, run small social network of your company.
Besides that, BuddyDrive plugin allows you to share files and folders among site users.
File Storage
File Storage section is created using BuddyDrive plugin. We suggest creating pseudo users like "Accounting Department" for example to share some files online. You can control file visibility. For more details, you can read official BuddyDrive documentation.Photo Gallery
To build Photo galleries, we use extremely simple and powerful Essential Grid plugin.
For easy start, please check this brief tutorial http://essential.themepunch.com/#howtogetstarted.
To get the detailed documentation, please use this link http://essential.themepunch.com/documentation/#.
Below we will describe how to create a sample grid, using this instruction you will be able to create grids similar to those used in Alliance theme:
1. Log into your WordPress installation and find this menu item in the left navigation panel:
Click on the first menu item and find Create new essential grid button: Let's name it Cobbles and give it a corresponding alias. Essential grid will generate the shortcode allowing you to insert this specific grid into any page or post.
Great, now we can play around with grid images source, animation effects, skin, navigation, etc. After you are through with that, save the grid, copy the shortcode, create a new page and paste the shortcode. The content of our Cobbles page looks like this:
You can insert the same shortcode using visual composer interface, just click on Essential Grid addon
and select one of existing grids (or create a new one).
Reviews
We have a special rating system that can be easily integrated into any post or category. See how it works:
- In Appearance -> Theme Options -> Reviews add the required number of evaluation criteria. These criteria will be available when editing any post in any category. If your website publishes reviews in only one direction (for example, "Movies"), then you may leave it like this.
- Of course, we understand that to rate different areas (music, movies, technology, etc.) you need a
completely different rating criteria. Therefore, you can override the list of criteria in each category. To
do this, open Posts - Categories, select a category you want to modify, click Edit and
at the bottom of the page find
"Custom settings for this category" in the tab Reviews add new criteria
for evaluation.
IMPORTANT: The criteria established for a category is valid for all the posts in this category and sub-categories in it. -
Now, in any post you can assess the subject of the article in the section Post Options in
the tab Reviews:
As a result you will see similar reviews panel on post pages
IMPORTANT: If you change the list of categories for the current post, first press "Update" ("Publish" if you save it for the first time) and then proceed with the installation of Review parameters . If your newly selected category is assigned a separate list of Review criteria, it will appear on the tab "Reviews" only after you save (update) the post!
IMPORTANT: In Appearance -> Theme Options -> Reviews you can choose the rating system for your posts: 5 stars, 10 stars or 100%. You can easily switch from one rating system to another at any moment!
Custom pages
Now we can prepare the other pages of our blog. This is not required, but if you want to change the display settings on Page 404, Archive pages or Search results, you have to create separate pages and customize them.
Consider the example of the Page 404. For pages Archive pages or Search results (if needed) configuration should be done the same way.
Page 404
Let's set up an error 404 page. To do this, you need to:
- Go to Pages under the WordPress menu and then click on Add New.
- Put your Title as usual ("Page 404" for example).
-
Choose "Page 404" as the page's template.
- In "Post Options" area we set up the display of this page:
- We are hiding the header area of the page - Customization -> Header & Footer in the field "Show Top of page section" choose "No".
- We are hiding the additional info of the page - Blog and Single -> Single Page in the field "Show post info" choose "No".
- We are hiding the right sidebar - Customization -> Sidebars in the field "Show main sidebar" select "None (without sidebar)".
- We are removing details of (author, related posts, comments) - Blog and Single -> Single Page select "No" in the corresponding fields.
- Publish this page.
As a result, when you try to open a non existing page on your site, you will see page containing this message:
NOTICE! You can not preview 404 page using WordPress View page or Preview changes button. You should
type incorrect site URL to see 404 page.
To customize this page you should edit page template file in any text editor like Notepad or TextEdit. Open root folder of your theme and find /templates folder.
This folder contains 404.php file. You can open it in any text editor and change HTML code according to your needs.
Archives
Archives Page Setup is similar to "Page 404"(see above).
Search results
Archives Search Results is similar to "Page 404"(see above).

Custom widgets:

For its work, this version of the widget requires creating "Twitter Application" and obtaining appropriate codes. Due to the fact that Twitter from June 2013 switched to the new API 1.1 and discontinued support of out-of-date API 1.0, to get information out of this social network today you must create an account on the resource https://dev.twitter.com/apps. Then, click the "Create a new application", fill in the required fields and generate "Access token" and "Access token secret". As a result, you will get four important core values to work with Twitter API 1.1:- Consumer key
- Consumer secret
- Access token
- Access token secret
Contact form: This widget is not supplied, but you can easily create it using the widget "Text": just add widget "Text" in the right sidebar and paste the shortcode [trx_contact_form] into this widget. That's all!
Shortcodes
Shortcodes is a cool feature in WordPress that essentially allows you to do some pretty incredible things by just inserting a shortcode into a page or post. Using Shortcodes is a breeze, just insert one where you want the relevant content to show up.
The theme comes pre-packed with a number of shortcodes allowing you to add the info easier. Moreover, you can use WPBakery Page Builder to apply the shortcode. Click on "Add element" button and select it from the available elements:
IMPORTANT: In case you are using "Classic" (text) mode, please make sure to always start new shortcodes from new lines. Most of the time you won't encounter any errors if you don't do that but unfortunately WordPress does mess up the html sometimes. This is true for all shortcodes, but the inline ones like trx_highlight those are the only ones that don't need a new paragraph.
Please note that almost all the shortcodes allow parameters:
- id - unique id for element. Allow to address this element from javascript or CSS.
- class - class name for element. Allow set up additional decorations for element in CSS stylesheets.
IMPORTANT: You can use next common classes to decorate any shortcode:- theme_accent - main (accent) theme color used for decorate inner text of the shortcode.
- theme_accent_bg - main (accent) theme color used as a background (instead bg image) of the shortcode.
- theme_accent_bgc - main (accent) theme color used as a background color of the shortcode.
- theme_accent_border - main (accent) theme color used as aborder color of the shortcode (if border present).
- theme_accent2 - accent2 theme color used for decorate inner text of the shortcode.
- theme_accent2_bg - accent2 theme color used as a background (instead bg image) of the shortcode.
- theme_accent2_bgc - accent2 theme color used as a background color of the shortcode.
- theme_accent2_border - accent2 theme color used as a border color of the shortcode (if border present).
- texture_bg_1 ... texture_bg_10 - you can set a texture image for the shortcode background.
- bg_pattern_0 ... bg_pattern_9 - you can set a pattern image for the shortcode background (repeat, fill background).
- bg_image_1 ... bg_image_6 - you can set an image for the shortcode background (no repeat, fit to background).
[trx_section class="theme_accent_bgc texture_1"]Section inner text[/trx_section].
- top, bottom, left, right the value of which is the number - the margin in pixels from the top, bottom, left and right of the block respectively.
Also, note that "on | off" and "yes | no" in values of the parameters are interchangeable! That is, if the shortcode description indicates that the value of a parameter can be "on" or "off", it means that you can use the "yes" or "no" along with them.

Emailer - mass e-mail distribution and collection of subscription lists
Our themes come with another great tool helping you keep in touch with your customers and site visitors. It's a small addon helping to collect emails and send newsletters. If you are running small project it's a great alternative to professional email services like MailChimp or Sendgrid.
WARNING: Before using mass email tool, please check if your web hosting provider allows you to send mass email. Most of shared web servers stricktly prohibint sending mass emails and can block your account.
WARNING: If you have more than 1000 subscribers, we highly recommend using professional mass email services to ensure high deliverability, high open/click rate. Always make sure you are using double opt-in email list, getting too many abuse reports may affect your site SEO. Remember, SPAM is no-no!
ADVICE: To keep your list healthy and up-to-date we recommend using Email validation service, this is a great tool to filter junk emails if you purchased emails list elsewhere !
Emailer Features:
- Emailer will help you to automatically create and update mailing lists.
- You can easily create a mailing list for an arbitrary list of clients, or you can use one of the lists as the basis, completing it with arbitrary set of addresses from a text file.
- Sent letters can be decorated using a standard WordPress editor.
- It's possible to add an attachment-file (a document or an archive) to the e-mail.
To enable "Emailer" go to Appearance -> Theme Options -> Service and select "Yes" in the field
"Enable Emailer in admin panel".
You will get a new menu item "Tools" - "Emailer".
How it works
Distribution lists - shortcode [trx_emailer].
If you want your site visitors to be able to subscribe to any kind of newsletters, simply create a page (post) newsletter description, and add a shortcode [trx_emailer group = "mail_delivery_name"] to it, where mail_delivery_name is a name of the list of subscribers. That's it!
As a result, a subscription form will appear on the page you've created above:
where your visitors can leave their e-mail address (with option dbl-in checking):
and after confirmation their emails appear in the subscribers list:
Using menu Tools - Emailer you will do a distibution for this list:
Emailer consists of 2 basic panels:
- on the left hand - email composer that includes visual text editor, attachment form and subject line.
NOTICE! We do recommend reading general newsletter guide lines before sending emails, this helps to improve deliverability and not look spammy. - on the right - field to select one of the previously created mailing groups. If you want to create a
newsletter for an arbitrary list of addresses, in this field you don't have to choose anything, but simply
insert the e-mail address list into the next field - "List of recipients". Each address
in this field ("List of recipients") must begin from a new line or you must put signs
";" or "" between the addresses.
If you chose a group form the list, the field List of recipients will display the list of e-mail addresses from that group. IMPORTANT: In this list, you will see only confirmed addresses! Under the list of recipients, you can specify name and e-mail adress of the newsletter sender . If these fields are not filled out, the data are collected from WordPress settings: menu Settings - General.
To the right from the field of group selection, there is a set of switchers that allow to manage current group:- Update - update the list of e-mail addresses when sending an e-mail (if you edited it in the field below)
- Clear - delete unconfirmed addresses from the list of e-mail addresses when sending an e-mail
- Deleter - delete the entire group after sending an e-mail
NOTICE! A good practice of email marketing is adding extra paragraph to your privacy policy page covering terms of emails usage.
May the work with your mailings be pleasant, and most importantly, profitable!
Theme Translation
We recommend using Poedit software for translation-related purposes. To translate the theme to your language, please follow these steps:
- Download and install Poedit software.
- Navigate to the theme/.../languages/ folder and locate .po file. Copy it to your desktop for editing.
- Open the .po file. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.po and default.mo files.
- OPTIONAL! Only for themes with WordPress version 4.0 or lower.
The last step is to tell WordPress what language to display. Open your wp-config.php file in a text editor and search for: define ('WPLANG', ''); string. Edit this line according to the .mo file you should already have downloaded (e.g. for the Portuguese spoken in Brazil you need to add define ('WPLANG', 'pt_BR');).
In case you still have questions on how to use Poedit, please check the following resources:
