Theme Installation

After purchasing the GridHot 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 GridHot Theme?

GridHot PRO is a separate theme. Whether or not you're currently using the free GridHot theme, you need to install GridHot 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 GridHot 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.

Regenerate Thumbnails

If your website already has existing posts with featured images, it's highly recommended to regenerate thumbnails after activating the GridHot 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 GridHot PRO theme.

The following widget areas are compatible with these plugins:

How to Create a Featured Content Page

A Featured Content Page is a special type of page that displays featured post widgets instead of the content added via the page editor. With the GridHot PRO WordPress theme, you can create unlimited featured content pages. You can also set one of these pages as your homepage if you prefer.

Before creating a featured content page, please install and activate either the Widget Display Conditions or Widget Context plugin. These plugins allow you to assign widgets specifically to your featured content pages.

Note: This tutorial uses the Widget Display Conditions plugin. You may use any other plugin that offers similar functionality.

Step 1: Create a Featured Content Page

Go to WordPress Dashboard → Pages → Add New.
Give the page a title of your choice. In this example, we'll use "My Featured Content".
Look for the Template option:
- In Gutenberg: Make sure the right sidebar is visible. Then click the Page tab and scroll down to find the Template dropdown.
- In Classic Editor: Make sure the Page Attributes box is enabled via the Screen Options tab at the top right. Then, locate it in the right sidebar and use the Template dropdown.
Select the Featured Content template from the dropdown.
Click Publish. When you view this page, you'll see a blank area, ready for widgets.

Step 2: Add Widgets to the Page

Go to Appearance → Widgets. You will see several widget areas.

Use only the following areas to add widgets to your featured content page:
1. Top Full Width Widgets (Everywhere)
2. Above Content Widgets (Everywhere)
3. Top Left Widgets (Everywhere)
4. Top Right Widgets (Everywhere)
5. Below Content Widgets (Everywhere)
6. Bottom Full Width Widgets (Everywhere)

Drag and drop your desired widget into one of the above widget areas. If you are using the Widget Display Conditions plugin, you'll see a Display conditions button at the bottom of the widget settings. Click it.
Click the Add group button.
From the dropdown options, select the featured content page you created, then click Save.

Now, the widget will appear only on your featured content page.

You can repeat this process to add multiple widgets to the available widget areas. After adding your widgets, visit your featured content page to see them in action.

Optional: Set Your Featured Content Page as the Homepage

If you'd like to use your featured content page as your homepage, follow these steps:

How to Create a Contact Page

GridHot PRO comes with a built-in contact form template so you don't need a third-party plugin for basic contact functionality.

Create the Contact Page:

Go to Pages → Add New.
Enter a title (e.g., "Contact Us").
Gutenberg Editor: In the right sidebar, under Page tab → Template, select Contact Form.
Classic Editor: Under Page Attributes → Template, select Contact Form.
You can add content above the form in the editor area.
Publish the page.

Set Your Contact Email Address:

Go to Appearance → Customize → Theme Options → Page Templates Options.
Find the Contact Form Email Address field.
Enter the email address where you'd like to receive messages.
Save changes.

Note: If no email is set, messages will be sent to the admin email address configured in Settings → General.

How to Create a Sitemap Page

The Sitemap template automatically lists pages, comments, archives, tags, categories, and authors in a structured format.

Go to Pages → Add New.
Enter a title (e.g., "Sitemap").
Select the Sitemap template.
Publish the page.

The sitemap will automatically populate with your site's content structure.

How to Create a Site Authors Page

The Authors template displays all registered users/authors on your site with their avatars and biographical information.

Go to Pages → Add New.
Enter a title (e.g., "Our Authors").
Select the Authors template.
Publish the page.

Make sure your authors have filled in their Biographical Info under Users → Profile for the best results.

Performance & SEO Tips

Follow these tips to ensure your GridHot PRO website loads fast and ranks well in search engines:

Use a caching plugin like WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, or LiteSpeed Cache to generate static HTML pages and reduce server load.
Optimize your images using plugins like Imagify, EWWW Image Optimizer, or ShortPixel to compress images without visible quality loss.
Use a CDN (Content Delivery Network) like Cloudflare to serve your website's static assets from servers closer to your visitors.
Install an SEO plugin such as Yoast SEO or Rank Math to add meta titles, descriptions, Open Graph tags, and XML sitemaps.
Set featured images for all posts to ensure proper thumbnails in search results and when sharing on social media.
Use descriptive, keyword-rich titles for your posts and pages.
Minimize plugins — only install plugins you actively use. Deactivate and delete unused ones.
Choose quality hosting — a fast, reliable hosting provider can significantly improve page load times.
Disable unused color/font options — if you don't need custom colors or fonts, disable them in the Customizer to remove extra CSS from the frontend.
Keep WordPress, themes, and plugins updated to benefit from performance improvements and security patches.

Translation & RTL

GridHot 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 gridhot-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:

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

Place them inside the /languages folder in the theme.

↔️ RTL Language Support

GridHot 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.

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.
