Installation
Install SkyTower, required plugins, and optional demo content.
Activation order matters. Skytower Core depends on Elementor being active. Install and activate the theme, then Elementor, then any other required plugins, and activate Skytower Core last - otherwise you'll hit a fatal error. See the FAQ if you've already run into one.
Demo import on restrictive hosts. One-click demo import can fail with 409 / 503 errors on hosts that run aggressive firewalls, mod_security, or low PHP limits (Bluehost and Hostinger are common examples). Before you import, deactivate all third-party plugins, install the Disable BIG Image Threshold plugin, add SetEnv MAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT 1 to .htaccess, and raise PHP limits:
memory_limit = 256M
upload_max_filesize = 60M
max_execution_time = 360If it still fails, ask your host to check whether firewall / mod_security is blocking outgoing cURL requests. Full checklist in the FAQ.
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 SkyTower 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.
SkyTower 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.
