Theme Requirements

To use this theme you must be running WordPress 3.9 or higher, PHP5 or higher, and mysql 5 or higher. If you use hosting with limited resources (for example GoDaddy and other lowcost shared hosting providers), you may experience issues with one-click dummy 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:

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 (up to) 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
• Mediatemple
• Siteground
• WPengine

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:

In case you try to install the wrong files you will get missing styles.css file error. This is the most common error meaning you are trying to install incorrect package.

To install "Bamboo" theme you need to have a working version of WordPress pre-installed. For more information in regards to installing the WordPress platform, please see the WordPress Codex article - http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress or check this great video tutorial.

Update WordPress: To ensure a positive user experience, we highly recommend you to use WordPress the latest stable version of WordPress. This will help to ensure that you are able to utilize all of the latest features of WordPress.

There are 2 ways to install the theme:

• via FTP:
  1. Log into your web server with FTP client software
  2. Unzip the Bamboo.zip file and ONLY use the extracted /Bamboo theme folder
  3. Upload the extracted /Bamboo theme folder into /wp-content/themes folder
  4. Activate the newly installed theme. Go to Appearance > Themes and activate it.
• via WordPress:
  1. Login to admin panel.
  2. Navigate to Appearance > Themes and click on the Add New button.
  3. Choose Upload theme option. Click on Browse...(Choose file in Safari/Chrome), select the "Bamboo.zip" and click Install Now button.
  4. After successfull installation click on Activate or proceed to Appearance > Themes and click on Activate to activate the newly installed theme.
  5. After the theme's activation you will be prompted to install recommended plugins.
     
     All these plugins are included into the theme's archive or can be installed (optionally) from the WordPress.org repository on your own.
     The theme may function without any of these plugins. But if you want your website look precisely as on demo page, you should install all the 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 dummy data - this might affect your site content and structure. Please read the Demo Content article for more information.
  6. Once it's done a new menu item Theme Options will appear.

Plugins Installation

In order to make the theme look exactly as at demo page you need to install the 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.

Theme includes the following plugins:

• Essential Grid
• Mailchimp for WordPress
• Slider Revolution
• Utilities (The name of the plugin usually might match the theme's name, for example Bamboo Utilities)
• WooCommerce
• WPBakery Visual Composer

After installation you will see this notification informing that plugins were installed successfully.

Demo Content

Our themes have simple One click dummy data import tool. It's very easy to use, and you can get precise copy of our demo website in just 1 click.

Before installing demo data make sure you have installed all required plugins, please refer to Plugins installation section of this document for details.

IMPORTANT: When installing 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.

To import demo content into a WordPress site follow these steps:

1. Log in to your site as an administrator.
2. If you see a message prompting to install the plugins - click on "Begin installing plugins" and install it on the corresponding page.
   IMPORTANT: The rest of recommended plugins (for example, Revolution Slider, Visual Composer, and others) are not mandatory for installation of demo content but recommended.
   
   
3. Go to Appearance > Install Dummy Data:
   
   
   
   
4. On the page that showed up, please set the required parameters and 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 on significantly upon Internet connection speed between your website and our server. Please wait patiently and do not refresh/leave the page.
   
   
   
   
5. Once the data is successfully imported, "Congratulations" message displays.
   
   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.
   
   If you are making the install on your local machine, please check your internet connection and firewall settings, this may affect data transfer.
   
   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/bamboo 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 at https://themerex.net/support/. Our tech support operators will assist you.

A guide to installing our theme on a low-cost shared hosting.

Shared hosting is often the first port of call for those new to the hosting game. With offers as low as $4.99 per month, it’s a tempting option if you’re on a strict budget.
As with anything else in life, however, you get what you pay for. By its nature, shared hosting means that your site will be sharing server resources with hundreds – if not thousands – of other sites. Furthermore, you will be severely limited in terms of the level of server optimization possible.

Nevertheless, if you decided to use shared hosting or any other hosting plan with limited resources for your website, we recommend you to try to install our theme in the following way:

1. Navigate to Appearance > Install Required Plugins menu option and install and activate Utilities and Visual Composer plugins only.
2. Navigate to Appearance > Install Dummy Data menu option, install the basic demo contents (posts, attachments, widgets and theme options).
3. Navigate back to your website (frontend) and reload/refresh the page – you should see a full-fledged demo website. However, it will have no slider, and none of the pages dedicated to the demonstration of the supported plugins’ capabilities will work. On this stage, memory consumption will not exceed limitations of the strictest hosting plans (within 64Mb).
4. In case you do not need the rest of the plugins, you do not have to install them, and its demo contents. Otherwise, navigate to the Appearance > Install Required Plugins menu option and install and activate all of the required plugins.
5. Navigate to the Appearance - Install Dummy Data and uncheck the following options (since you have already installed the data and demo contents for the required plugins):
   • Import posts
   • Import Theme mods
   • Import Theme Options
   • Import Templates Options
   • Import Widgets

Important! Please be aware that some plugins might consume a large amount of memory (RAM) while they are enabled and in use!
Besides that, by installing such massive add-ons as WooCommerce, Revolution Slider, BBPress, BuddyPress and others, you are adding at least up to 20-40Мb (per each) to the memory (RAM) consumed by your website.
For instance, after installing and activating the Revolution Slider, your website’s memory (RAM) consumption might increase up to 70-80Mb, as for BBPress and BuddyPress - it might consume about 100-110Mb of RAM. Add WooCommerce and your website's RAM consumption might not fit even in 128Мb! So you will have to increase the available memory to 192М (better up to 256Mb) to make all these plugins work properly.

Home 1

The picture below demonstrates the page style we are aiming at:

The algorithm of our actions would be as follows:

1. Select Pages > Add New and create a new page.
2. Specify a name for it (e.g. Home 1).
3. Navigate to Customization > Header section and disable the following options.




4. Now let's add a slider. To do this navigate to the Customization > Slider tab and enable "Show Slider" option. Then select the necessary "Slider Engine" and the slider itself in the "Revolution Slider: Select slider" field.
   Please be aware that to enable the one particular slider on the necessary page (or set of pages) you need to disable the slider in GLobal Theme Options first and only then enable it for each and every page (or set of pages) in its "Post Options" settings.

Now the page is ready for further customization with Visual Composer. Before you start, please check these VC related tutorials. They will give you a basic understanding of how to build a page properly.

1. Official Visual Composer FAQ page.


2. Getting Started With Visual Composer Guide.


3. Visual Composer: A Guide To Drag & Drop Page Building


4. How to Add Row and Column with Visual Composer.


5. How to Add Row or Column Background with Visual Composer.


6. How to Create Empty Space Between Elements with Custom Height.

The whole page is build with the following elements: Rows, Block containers, Content blocks, Gaps, Columns and Blogger shortcode. On the below screenshots you can see which backend section corresponds to a frontend section.

Here is how it looks on the frontend:

Built-in Theme Slider

Built-in theme slider allows you to display Featured images from the categories posts. You can select a category and specify the number of the posts to display.

Revolution Slider

Our theme is fully compatible with an extremely powerful Revolution Slider plugin.

Once the dummy content is installed Revolution Slider item will show up in the theme's menu (otherwise you'd need to install this plugin manually and create/add the necessary slides on your own).
To set it up and to display on all the existing pages on your website (otherwise you would need to disable this option in Global settings and Enable it on the specific page(s) you want the slider to appear on), please proceed to the Appearance > Theme Options > Global Options > Customization > Slider section and enable Show Slider option. Choose the Layer Slider (Revolution) in the Slider Engine field and specify name of the slider in the Revolution Slider: Select slider field as it is shown on the screenshot below.

Here's how your Homepage 1 slider might look like.

Please check the following links for more information regarding the Revolution Slider functionality:

• Download sample sliders
• Slider usage examples and how-tos

Inner page navigation

Inner page navigation is extremely popular today since it allows your website visitors to get to the needed page section without constant scrolling down long pages. Our themes provide powerful tools helping you to create awesome landing pages in the blink of an eye.

To create a page with internal page links, please follow these simple steps:

1. Go to Pages > Add New.
2. Enable side "Table of content" menu: Customization > Header > Table of Contents > TOC position >Fixed/Float.
   
   Now we are ready to add menu items.
3. Lets add some content to the page. In order to obtain a menu item in page navigation each content block must be separeted with anchor shortcode. Each anchor shortcodes adds a new navigation item to the Table of Contents Menu (see below) and this way organizes page navigation. See example below:
   
   [trx_accordion counter="off" initial="1" top="inherit" bottom="inherit" left="inherit" right="inherit"] [trx_accordion_item]asdfasdfasfasdfadsfasdfasdfasfdfasdfasdf[/trx_accordion_item] [trx_accordion_item]asdfasdfasdfasfasdfasdfasf[/trx_accordion_item] [/trx_accordion] [trx_anchor icon="icon-cog" title="M3 E30" separator="no" id="toc_columns"] [trx_columns][trx_column_item][trx_title type="6"]1/2[/trx_title][vc_column_text]Nullam ac massa neque.

Curabitur biben dum, sem at porta vulputate, metus elit.[/vc_column_text][/trx_column_item][/trx_columns] This shortcode creates a menu item. This is a simple and effective way to create navigation menu on the pages, it will look like this:





4. Navigate to the "Theme options" and disable top menu: Customization > Header > Top Panel Position > Hide.

This is how you can create an awesome landing page or a single page website in a few clicks. Once again, the core tool to create page navigation and add page anchors is [trx_anchor] shortcode. The theme scans page content, finds trx_anchor shortcodes and builds the menu. To get more information regarding this shortcode please follow this link.

How PO Composer works

Now you opened the "PO Composer" page in the menu "Appearance - PO Composer". What's next?

PO composer consists of two major panels. On the left hand you choose a .po file to edit(the file may be located in the parent or child theme , this may be any downloadable file or even the content of your Clipboard); on the right - fields to select. Po-file to be merged with the one selected on the left (if needed). If you do not want to merge files, but only edit one of them, simply do not select anything in the right section.

Let's take a look at options available:

1. Upload .po-file - This option allows to select any .po-file from your computer and upload it for editing.
2. Edit .po-text - This option allows text of any .po-file into the text field and edit it.
3. Parent languages/parent_xxx - This option allows to select one of the .po-files in the folder"languages" of the parent theme on your server.
4. Child languages/child_xxx - This option allows to select one of the .po-files in the folder "languages" of the child theme on your server (this option is available only if the child theme is active at the moment)

If you tick "Move translated strings down" - in the .po-files all translated strings will be moved at the end of the file.

Variants of use:

1. If you want to edit one of the language files in the folder with parent or child theme:
   In the left block of settings, select an option "parent_xxx" or "child_xxx", where "xxx" is the name of the translation file you want to edit, and then click the button "Load" under the left block.
   
   
   
   The text of the selected file will appear in the field for editing:
   
   
   
   You can make changes directly to this file.
   Attention! Editing this file requires high level of expertise. You should know exactly what you are doing and understand that removing any special character will break file structure. Therefore, we recommend using simplified and user friendly editor.
   To stay on the safe side switch to the tab "Strings editor"and you will see the list of strings for translation. Below the list there is a text field for editing current string. You simply scroll through the list and edit string by string. Strings that have been translated appear in the list in a different color. See example below:
   
   
   When you are through with the editing, simply switch back to the tab "Plain text" and click "Update" to generate .mo-file and update the file on the server (please make sure the file and file containing folder have write permissions).
   
   
   
   After files update you will get download links allowing to download newly generated .PO and .MO files. Please make sure you have set write permissions to 'language' folder and it's sub-folders. In this case all files in sub-folders will be updates automatically . Otherwise you will have to update translation files manually. To find out more about file permissions on your server please contact your web hosting service company.
   
   
   
   
2. Editing the random .po-file:
   In the left block of settings, select the option Upload .po-file and click the button "Upload" below the left block.
   
   
   
   The text of the selected file will appear in the edit box:
   
   
   All further steps are completely similar to those we have described in the previous example.
3. Editing text from the Clipboard:
   In the left block of settings, select the option Edit .po-text and into the text field insert the text from the Clipboard:
   
   
   
   All further steps are completely similar to those we have described in the previous examples (see above).
4. Merging different versions of translation file:
   For example, you are using the child-theme. You have updated the parent theme, and the folder with the child-theme in the sub-folder "languages" contains old language files. You want to update the language file in the child-theme by adding the new and changed strings of the updated theme and keeping all your previously translated strings. On the left, you need to select "parent_xxx", and on the right - "child_xxx" (where "xxx" is the language code) and click the button "Merge":
   
   
   
   The text of the merged file will appear in the edit box:
   
   
   All further steps are completely similar to those we have described in the previous examples (see above).

Forget the agony with the translation update ;)!
