3. Theme Customization

INTRODUCTIONTheme Customization

Theme uses native WordPress Customizer for General theme options. In order to access WordPress Customizer please select ‘Appearance > Customize’ in wp-admin console.

On the left side of the screen you will see the menu with various options and on the right side you will see website preview. Any settings you change in the Customizer will affect entire website, which means all posts and pages, so we are referring to them as global customization settings.

Each change you make will automatically update website preview (page will be refreshed). When you are satisfied with the result click ‘Save & Publish’ and do not forget to make final preview outside customization frame and logged out of WordPress to see how the site would look like to your visitors.

The important feature of Vivo is that any global setting can be overridden on any single post or page using Override Global Settings section which you will find on the bottom of editor page.

You will learn more about this overriding soon. Now, let’s explore customization settings.

HOW TO 01Translation

In order to translate the theme, please follow the next steps.

Theme’s .pot file is located in /wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/languages folder.

Please use PoEdit – https://poedit.net/ to translate the .pot file and create respective .po and .mo files.

Please name .po and .mo files e.g. potname-nl_NL.po and potname-nl_NL.mo (nl_NL is the language code for dutch and potname is the name of the .pot file you have started from – it corresponds to text domain of the theme). For other languages’ codes, please refer to the following link: Internationalization.

In order to place .po and .mo files properly and not have them deleted when you update the theme, upload  them to \wp-content\languages\themes folder. If you don’t have languages folder in your wp-content directory, please proceed and create one. Then create themes folder, and paste the files in it.

Alternatively, you can upload the .po and .mo files to your theme’s /wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/languages folder. In that case name them only using the language code (for example nl_NL.mo and nl_NL.po)

Also make sure to translate the theme’s plugin .pot file, located in \wp-content\plugins\your-theme-name\languages folder.

The steps are the same as for the theme, except the files should be named bt_plugin-nl_NL.po and bt_plugin-nl_NL.mo (with appropriate language code).

For plugin’s .po and .mo files, you should place them in \wp-content\languages\plugins folder.

You can set the site language of your WordPress installation on Settings > General. WordPress will automatically use the right language files if they exist.

HOW TO 02Child Theme

If you want to use Child Theme, please follow these steps:
  1. First of all, make sure that you haven’t changed the parent theme’s folder name. It needs to remain the same.
  2. You should be able to find the folder your_theme_name-child in the package you have downloaded from ThemeForest.
  3. Please copy this folder to /wp-content/themes folder on your server.
  4. Go to Appearance > Themes in your wp-admin console and activate child theme. Please have in mind that all required plugins need to be activated.

For more info, refer to the article Child Theme.

HOW TO 03Mega Menu

In order to create wide menu, please follow the instructions below:
  1. Please navigate to Appearance >Menus and enable CSS Classes in Screen Options, on top of your dashboard.
https://documentation.bold-themes.com/vivo/wp-content/uploads/sites/77/2022/12/mega_menu_01.jpg

2. Then add the ‘bt-wide-dropdown’ class to the parent menu item (the first item you want in your mega menu).

In order for mega menu to display correctly top menu item needs to have sub menu items, and those sub menu items need to have their child items.

Note that ‘bt-wide-dropdown’ class is required. In that case mega menu will be centered.

Additionally, classes ‘bt-wide-dropdown-align-left’ and ‘bt-wide-dropdown-align-right’ can be add next to it if you want to align mega menu to left or right side.

bt-wide-dropdown bt-wide-dropdown-align-left / bt-wide-dropdown-align-right
https://documentation.bold-themes.com/vivo/wp-content/uploads/sites/77/2022/12/mega_menu_02.png

HOW TO 04One Page Site

In order to create one page site, please follow the instructions below:

The best way to start is to install demo content. If you want to install one page demo please refer to the article: Installing Demo Content. You will be able to see how all elements on the single page are set.

1. First of all, navigate to the Bold Page Builder and edit desired section. Insert in required Custom Tab Element ID attribute:

https://documentation.bold-themes.com/vivo/wp-content/uploads/sites/77/2022/11/one_page_01.jpg

2. Then in Appearance > Menus add a new Custom Link and as a URL insert custom ID atribute with #.

For example: #about

https://documentation.bold-themes.com/vivo/wp-content/uploads/sites/77/2022/11/one_page_02.jpg

HOW TO 05Update Theme

In order to update the theme, please follow the instructions below:

Once the new theme version is available, user who purchased the theme should get an email note from the Envato (ThemeForest).

https://documentation.bold-themes.com/vivo/wp-content/uploads/sites/77/2022/11/update-theme-preview.png

There are three ways to update the theme:

1) FTP Update

Download newest theme version from ThemeForest Download section. Since you already have the theme installed, you can download just ‘Installable WordPress file only’.

https://documentation.bold-themes.com/vivo/wp-content/uploads/sites/77/2022/11/theme-forest-download.jpg

In case you want to use this method, we suggest that you use Filezilla to access your server. Here is the article that explains how Filezilla works.

You need to extract theme file from the zipped folder you downloaded, and upload it to /wp-content/themes folder on your server. You will be prompted to overwrite the existing files. Select ‘Yes’, and the theme will update.

https://documentation.bold-themes.com/vivo/wp-content/uploads/sites/77/2022/11/update.jpg

*The example is the zip file from Medicare theme but the process is the same for all themes.

2) Update theme via ZIP file upload

This method is available since WP version 5.5. Please follow these steps:

  • From WP dashboard go to Appearance > Themes,
  • Click Add New button,
  • Click Upload Theme button,
  • Click Choose File to select previously downloaded zip archive, then click Install Now,
  • Wait for the upload to finish, then click Replace current with uploaded button.

3) Envato Market plugin

Enable automatic theme update with the Envato Market Plugin. Once you install and activate this plugin, every time a new theme version becomes available, you will be able to update it with just one click.

You will need to go to the WordPress Updates page and navigate to the Themes section. The new version will be included in the section just like the themes from the WordPress repository.

* Whichever of these three methods you use for theme update, you will have to update theme plugin (and possibly some other required plugins) as well.

For plugin updates, you will get notification on your dashboard when new version is available.

Please note…

If you made any changes in the source code you’ll need to reapply them to the new version of the theme or they will be lost.

To prevent this, you can use child theme.

These themes have CSS defined for RTL layout, so when you change site’s language in Settings >General on your dashboard (or via language switch if you have multilingual site), the RTL layout will automatically apply to certain elements.

However!

Some elements in Bold Builder that have alignment option (such as Icons, Images, Columns, etc…) will need to be rearranged manually to fit the RTL layout.
