Installation
Install Leona, activate required plugins, and import demo content.
Before you start - two things that trip up most installs:
- Upload the right zip. The theme zip lives inside the ThemeForest package. Uploading the wrapper zip causes a
style.css not founderror. - Check PHP limits before importing the demo. Timeouts are almost always a server setting, not the theme. We recommend at least
memory_limit = 256M,upload_max_filesize = 60M, andmax_execution_time = 360. If the import still stalls, ask your host to confirm outgoing cURL requests aren't blocked by their firewall.
Unzip the downloaded package. You can install the Theme in one of the following ways:
- FTP - copy the non-zipped folder in the /wp-content/themes/ directory in the WordPress installation of your server.
- Upload - Go to Appearance > Themes in the Admin Dashboard, click the Add New button, then Upload Theme and choose the zipped file with the theme.
If you get a style.css not found error, make sure you are uploading the correct file. It's important to know that the file you have to install is the one inside the downloaded package.
After that go to Appearance > Themes and click Activate on the Theme. After the activation a warning about the plugins that are required will be shown at the top:
Click on Begin Installing Plugins. After that, make sure you also Activate the plugins.
Notice: After you install and activate the Leona Functionalities and Advanced Custom Fields PRO plugins, you can go to Appearance > Theme Settings and click the Save Changes button so that the initial options and styles are saved and applied.
Leona Content Shortcodes are powered by the awesome Elementor Page Builder. It gives you the option to arrange and create the Pages in your website just as you like. You can check their website on how to Get Started or you can also watch this video which shows how to arrange a Page:
<div className="media-embedded">
</div>
The coupons and deals in the theme are handled by the WooCommerce Plugin. Upon installing and activating the plugin, you will be asked to set it up.
The Deals and Coupons inside the Theme are created as WooCommerce Products.
Note: If you are new to WooCommerce you can follow their detailed guide on how to set it up here.
1 Click Demo Install
You can install the initial demo content so you get your site up and running faster than ever. After doing the steps above, click on Appearance > Import Demo Data and click the Import Demo Data button.
Important! After you import this demo, you will have to manually go to Appearance > Theme Settings and press Update. This way the initial default settings will be used by the theme.
It will create some sample posts, images, navigation menu and pages built the way it is shown in the online demo.
Notice: If you receive a timeout error or it takes way too much time (more than 10 minutes) to install check your server timeout settings. Please configure it and increase the server execution time. If you don't know how, contacting your hosting provider is strongly encouraged. Thanks for the understanding.
If you receive a Page Not Found error when navigating the site, make sure the permalinks are correct. Go to Settings > Permalinks and select the Post Name option and click Save Changes.
