1. How to Update the Theme

Are you using Stratus V2? Not sure?  Please see important update instructions for Stratus here.

For Embark (All versions), Stratus (V3), Bellevue (V2), Entrepreneur (V2), Pursuit (V2), please use the auto update plugin included with the theme setup.


For Eatery:

The latest versions of our themes can be download any time from your ThemeForest download page.

First of all we recommend making a backup of your files and database when updating the theme, just in case even though it should go over smoothly.

If you have made any modifications to the core theme files without using the included child theme then you’ll need to make note of the changes, and in that case we would definitely recommend making a backup. A program like WinMerge (Windows) or DiffMerge (Cross platform) can also be very helpful in that situation. For theme file changes, we always recommend using the included child theme instead of editing the main/parent theme itself.

If you haven’t made any core theme file changes, the best way to update the theme would be to extract the download package and overwrite the (parent) theme folder over FTP.

If you’re not familiar with FTP, then you can just go into the WP dashboard and delete the (parent) theme, then install the newly downloaded version of the theme as you normally would (note that you’ll have to switch the theme before deleting it if you are not using a child theme, since WP doesn’t allow you to delete the active theme.) Since your content and settings are stored in the database, you won’t be deleting that content.

If you have any questions, feel free to open a support ticket.

2. How to find your Envato Purchase Code

To get your Envato Purchase Code, follow the steps below:

  1. Login to your favorite Envato Marketplace (ThemeForest, CodeCanyon for instance)
  2. Once logged in, move your mouse over your username on the top right
  3. Click on the menu item “Downloads”
  4. Locate the product, and then click on “Download”
  5. Click on “Licence certificate & purchase code” to download the text file
  6. Open it and locate the “Item Purchase Code”

3. How to Change or Remove the Credit in the Footer

To remove the text you can just add this code into your Custom CSS box in the Theme Options area:

#footer .credit {display:none}

If you'd like to change the text instead, you just have to open up footer.php in the theme folder (or add it to the child theme folder if you're using one) and you can edit the credit text there.

4. Recommended Server Settings

Check with your web host to ensure it meets the following recommended settings by WordPress

As per : https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

The site needs:

Highly recommended

Your web host will know what all these terms mean and they should be able to configure your website to includes these settings without any issue.

Here is a helpful article on setting these limits yourself.

5. The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

This is a common error are there are two zips you download from themeforest, a solution to this issue is in this article.

I hope this helps.

6. How to find what version of the theme you are using.

Login into your WordPress admin panel and go to “Appearance” -> “Themes”. Here are listed all your installed themes. Click on desired theme and pop-up window will appear. On the right-side, near theme name is displayed theme version. This method works both for active and inactive themes.


7. Can I Use The Theme On More Than One Website?

The licensing is determined by ThemeForest, and the basics of the ThemeForest license is:

"You are licensed to use the Item to create one single End Product for yourself or for one client"

https://themeforest.net/licenses/terms/regular

The way we generally look at it is if the sites are on different domains, then they would require separate licenses.

There are however these exceptions:

- multiple domains being used for the same website
- development/test sites
- different language versions of a website
- split testing / variations of the same website
- websites that are never published online
