Theme Installation

After purchasing the ElegantWP PRO WordPress Theme, you'll receive a download link via email. Check your email inbox (or spam folder) for the product delivery email. Click the provided download link to download the theme's .zip file to your computer. Follow one of a method given below to install the theme on your website.

Upgrading from the Free ElegantWP Theme?

ElegantWP PRO is a separate theme. Whether or not you're currently using the free ElegantWP theme, you need to install ElegantWP PRO using one of the methods below.

If you're upgrading from the free version, most of your existing WordPress Customizer settings will remain in place. So you don't need to reconfigure everything from scratch. However, you will need to reupload a few images and reapply specific color settings.

After activating ElegantWP PRO, go to Appearance → Customize and reupload the following:

Site Logo
Site Icon (favicon)
Header Image
Background Image

If you changed below color options in the free version, reapply them in Appearance → Customize → Theme Options → Colors:

Header Text Color
Background Color

Tip: You can install PRO without deleting the free theme. Use Live Preview to confirm your layout, then click Activate & Publish.

Method 1: Install Using the WordPress Dashboard (Easiest and Fastest)

This is the easiest and fastest method to install this WordPress theme.

Go to "WordPress Dashboard" → "Appearance" → "Themes" and click on "Add New" button.
Click on "Upload Theme" button and choose the zip file you have downloaded.
Click on "Install Now" button.
Activate the theme.
Now go to "Appearance" → "Customize" to configure theme options.

Method 2: Install using cPanel File Manager

In some cases, you may not be able to install a WordPress theme through the WordPress dashboard—especially if the theme's ZIP file exceeds the maximum upload size limit. When this happens, you can install the theme using cPanel's File Manager, which is often simpler than using FTP. Follow the steps below to install your theme via the File Manager in cPanel.

Log in to your cPanel account. Your cPanel URL will be https://yourdomain.com/cpanel or a similar URL.
Click on the "File Manager" icon. It's usually under the "Files" section.

You are now in the "File Manager". Open the public_html folder, which is your website's root directory.
Locate the wp-content folder inside "public_html," then open the themes folder inside of it.
In the File Manager interface, click the "Upload" button and choose the theme's .zip file from your local drive.
After it has been uploaded, right-click the .zip file and choose "Extract" or "Unzip".
You can now delete the uploaded .zip file, but it's optional.
Log in to your WordPress dashboard through your web browser.
Go to Appearance → Themes. Now you will see the newly extracted theme.
Make it your active theme by clicking the "Activate" button next to it.

Note: If your hosting provider doesn't offer cPanel, look for a File Manager option in your hosting dashboard (like DirectAdmin, Plesk, or CyberPanel). The process is usually very similar—just find the wp-content/themes folder and upload/extract the theme ZIP file there.

Method 3: Install using FTP

Installing a WordPress theme via FTP is straightforward, though it involves a few more steps compared to using the built-in theme uploader. Here's how to install a WordPress theme using FTP:

Unzip the theme's .zip file you have downloaded.
Connect to your hosting account using an FTP client such as "FileZilla" or "Core FTP".
Navigate to the /wp-content/themes folder in the "Remote site" section.
In the "Local site" section, locate the unzipped theme folder.
Drag and drop the unzipped theme folder from the "Local site" section to the "Remote site" section.
Be patient and let the transfer finish.
Once the transfer is complete, log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Appearance > Themes.
Find the theme you just uploaded and click Activate.

Troubleshooting Tips

Import Demo Content

You can import the demo content, widgets, and Customizer settings shown in the ElegantWP PRO theme demo.

Manual Demo Import

Step 1: Import Main Site Content

This includes: Posts, pages, menus, media, categories, tags, comments, and custom fields.

Download: XML File
Go to Tools → Import.
Under "WordPress", click Install Now if not installed.
Click Run Importer.
Select the XML file and click Upload file and import.
Check "Download and import file attachments", click Submit.

Step 2: Import Widgets

Install the Widget Importer & Exporter plugin.
Go to Tools → Widget Importer & Exporter.
Copy content from: Widgets .wie File and paste into the box.
Click Import Widgets.

Step 3: Import Customizer Settings

Download: Customizer File
Install the Customizer Export/Import plugin.
Go to Appearance → Customize → Export/Import.
Select the .dat file, check "Download and import image files?", click Import.

Regenerate Thumbnails

If your website already has existing posts with featured images, it's highly recommended to regenerate thumbnails after activating the ElegantWP PRO theme. This ensures that all images match the new theme's layout and display sizes.

Regenerating thumbnails is optional if your site is completely new and doesn't have any uploaded images yet.

However, if you imported the demo content, regenerating thumbnails is essential to display images correctly across the site.

Install and activate the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin.
Go to Tools → Regenerate Thumbnails.
Click the "Regenerate Thumbnails for All x Attachments" button to start the process.
Wait until all images are regenerated. This may take a few minutes depending on your media library size.
If you want, you can deactivate and delete the plugin once the process is complete.

This step ensures clean image alignment and sharp visuals throughout your website using the ElegantWP PRO theme.

Header Image

The ElegantWP PRO theme supports a custom header image that appears at the top of your site.

Go to Appearance → Customize.
Click on Header Image.
Click Add new image and upload your desired header image.
Adjust the crop area if needed and click Crop Image or Skip Cropping.
Click Publish to save your changes.

The recommended header image size is 1250 x 200 pixels (the theme supports flexible height, so taller images will crop as needed).

Tips

Your site title and description appear in the header area (below the header image) when header content is not hidden.
Site title and description colors use the Header Text Color setting under Appearance → Customize → Colors.
To remove the header image, go to Header Image and click Remove Header Image.

Navigation Menus

This theme includes two Display Locations for menus: Primary Menu and Secondary Menu.

Right after installing the theme, WordPress may display your existing pages as the default menu items in these locations. You can replace them with your own custom menus containing links, categories, pages, and more by following the steps below:

Go to Appearance → Menus and click the create a new menu link.
Enter a name for your menu in the Menu Name field.
Select a display location for your menu by checking one of the available options under Display location
Click the Create Menu button.
To add items to the menu, use the options in the left-hand column—select the pages, posts, categories, or tags you want, then click Add to Menu.
To create dropdown menus, simply drag and nest the submenu items beneath the parent menu item.
Once you've added your links, click the Save Menu button.

News Ticker

The ElegantWP PRO theme includes a scrolling News Ticker (also known as "Breaking News" or "Trending News") that appears below the navigation menu. It uses the jQuery Marquee plugin for smooth horizontal scrolling.

How to Enable the News Ticker

Go to Appearance → Customize.
Navigate to Theme Options → News Ticker.
Check the Enable News Ticker option.
Configure the following settings:
- News Ticker Heading – Custom heading text (default: "Breaking News").
- Number of News Ticker Posts – How many posts to display (default: 5).
- News Ticker Posts Type – Choose from: Recent Posts, Popular Posts, Random Posts, Category Posts, or Tag Posts.
- News Ticker Posts Category – Select a category (if Posts Type is "Category Posts").
- News Ticker Posts Tag – Select a tag (if Posts Type is "Tag Posts").
Click Publish to save your changes.

Notes

The news ticker shows each post's date and title as clickable links.
The ticker colors (background, heading, text, dates) can be customized via Theme Options → Colors.
The ticker heading font can be customized via Theme Options → Fonts.

Performance & SEO Tips

Follow these tips to improve the speed and search engine visibility of your ElegantWP PRO website:

Use a caching plugin – Install a plugin like W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache to serve cached pages and reduce server load.
Optimize images – Use an image optimization plugin like Imagify or EWWW Image Optimizer to compress your images without losing quality.
Use an SEO plugin – Install Yoast SEO or Rank Math to add meta titles, descriptions, and Open Graph tags for better search results.
Enable GZIP compression – Ask your hosting provider to enable GZIP compression for faster page delivery.
Use a CDN – Consider using a Content Delivery Network like Cloudflare to speed up asset delivery globally.
Keep WordPress, plugins, and the theme updated – Regular updates include performance improvements and security fixes.
Set featured images for all posts – This ensures proper thumbnails display in post summaries, widgets, and when sharing on social media.

Translation & RTL

ElegantWP PRO is fully translation-ready and supports Right-to-Left (RTL) languages like Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian out of the box.

🌐 Translating the Theme

The theme includes a elegantwp-pro.pot file located in the /languages folder inside the theme directory. You can use this file to create translations in your own language using any of the following tools:

Poedit – Desktop translation editor (view tutorial)
Loco Translate – Translate the theme directly from your WordPress dashboard (view tutorial)

After translating, save your files as:

elegantwp-pro-[language_code].po
elegantwp-pro-[language_code].mo

Place them inside the /languages folder in the theme.

↔️ RTL Language Support

ElegantWP PRO includes built-in RTL support. If your WordPress site language is set to an RTL language, the theme will automatically adjust layout direction, alignment, and spacing accordingly. No extra setup required.

If you're customizing your site with RTL content, make sure your text widgets, menus, and custom styles are also RTL-compatible for best results.

FAQ

In this section, you'll find quick answers to the most frequently asked questions about using the ElegantWP PRO theme. If you can't find your answer here, you can contact our support team for more help.

Why is my logo/site icon/header image/background image missing after upgrading to PRO?

When switching from the free to PRO version, you need to manually reupload your Site Logo, Header Image, Site Icon, and Background Image via Appearance → Customize.

My menus disappeared after theme activation. What should I do?

Go to Appearance → Menus → Manage Locations and reassign your existing menus to the correct theme locations.

How do I add numbered pagination?

Install and activate the WP-PageNavi plugin. The theme automatically detects and uses it for numbered page navigation.

How do I change the post style on listing pages?

Go to Appearance → Customize → Theme Options → Post Options. Under the Non-Singular Posts Style setting, select one of the 10 available styles.

How do I reset Customizer settings to default?

Go to Appearance → Customize → Theme Options → Other Options, then click the Reset Theme Options button. A confirmation dialog will appear. Confirm the action to reset your WordPress Customizer settings.

Troubleshooting

This section covers common technical problems you may encounter while installing, activating, or customizing the ElegantWP PRO theme. If your specific issue isn't listed, you can always reach out to our support team for assistance.

Post thumbnails are missing when sharing on social media

Install an SEO plugin like Yoast SEO or Rank Math and enable Open Graph tags. Always set a featured image for each post to ensure proper thumbnails appear when sharing.

I get "The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive" error.

This means your hosting has a small file upload limit. Follow this guide to increase it or use cPanel/File Manager to upload the theme.

Thumbnails appear stretched or blurry

After activating the theme, install the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin and regenerate all thumbnails. This ensures images match the theme's custom image sizes.

News ticker not showing

Make sure you have enabled the news ticker in Appearance → Customize → Theme Options → News Ticker and that you have published posts matching the selected post type criteria.
