XD Files & Images

IMPORTANT! We do not include theme-related .XD files into the theme package, because it significantly increases the theme archive size. If you need those files, feel free to submit a support request.

By getting this WordPress Theme you get all the images FOR FREE. Moreover, you can use them on ANY OF YOUR PROJECTS!

Bundled Plug-ins

The theme package contains a number of bundled plug-ins. Please click here to view the list of plug-ins that come included into the theme.

WordPress Information

To install this theme you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. Below are some useful links regarding WordPress information.

Theme Requirements

To use this theme you must be running at least WordPress 5.0, PHP 5.6.20 or higher.
External plug-ins may require additional limitations, like WooCommerce - PHP 7.2+, etc.
If you use a hosting service with limited resources (e.g. GoDaddy!), you may experience issues with the "one-click" demo data installation.

We recommend that you contact your web hosting service provider to make sure that your server PHP configuration limits are as follows:

  • max_execution_time 600
  • memory_limit 128M
  • post_max_size 32M
  • upload_max_filesize 32M

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 128M
  • 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 plug-ins.

Here is the list of web hosting service providers we recommend:

Theme Installation

Unpacking the theme

Before installing the theme, please make sure you unpacked the archive and extracted the theme files. Some of the folders names may slightly vary. Treat the screenshot below as an example only.

The main package contains archives with the main theme, child theme, documentation and bundled plug-ins.

If you try to install the wrong files, you will get the missing style.css error. This is the most common error that means you are trying to install an incorrect package.

In order to install the theme, you need to have a working version of WordPress installed on your server first. Check out this guide for detailed information on how to install WordPress. We also highly recommend updating your WordPress to the latest stable version.

Below you can find a video tutorial on how to install the theme.


There are 2 ways to install the theme:

  • via FTP:
    1. Log into your web server with FTP client software.
    2. Unzip the lunna.zip file and ONLY use the extracted /lunna theme folder.
    3. Upload the extracted lunna theme folder into /wp-content/themes.
    4. Navigate to the Appearance > Themes tab and activate the theme.
  • via WordPress admin panel:
    1. Log into the WordPress admin panel.
    2. Navigate to Appearance > Themes and click on Add New and Upload Theme.
    3. Select the lunna.zip folder and click Install Now button.
    4. After the successful installation, click on Activate or navigate to the Appearance > Themes and click on Activate button to activate the newly installed theme.
    5. Install and activate ThemeREX Addons plug-in.
    6. Enter your Purchase Code or Envato Elements Token and some personal information. Theme activation allows you to get access to plug-ins, demo content, support and updates.

      To get the purchase code, please navigate to your ThemeForest "Downloads" page and click on the theme download link. Check this guide for more details.

      In case you have downloaded the theme from Envato Elements, please view our guide to find out how to generate Envato Elements token. IMPORTANT! The number of theme activations (with purchase code/Envato Elements token) is LIMITED! For Envato Elements, if you want to activate another theme, please generate a new token (1 token = 1 domain). Anyway, you are allowed to activate your theme locally or on the dev server and then move the theme to the main domain. Please feel free to contact our support department if any issues arise.
    7. Make sure the required Advanced Theme Add-ons are active. You can find the description of each add-on here.

You can also watch our video tutorial on how to install a WordPress theme.

Attention! If you want to make changes in theme’s templates or functions, we strongly recommend activating a child theme before demo data installation. Please see the Child Theme section for more information.

The theme license allows you to install the theme on ONE domain only! In order to connect the license to a different domain, first click "Disconnect domain" (Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > General) and then re-enter the purchase key/token on a different WordPress installation. For Envato Elements, if you want to activate another theme or install the same theme on a new domain, please generate a new token (1 token = 1 domain). If you have any questions, please contact our support department.

Attention! Before any manipulations that will require re-entering the purchase key/Elements token even on the same domain (e.g: WordPress reinstallation or cleaning the database), please FIRST disconnect the domain!

Plug-ins Installation

Below is the list of the plug-ins that come included into the theme.
Some of these plug-ins can also be installed from the WordPress.org repository.

  • Advanced Popups
  • Contact Form 7
  • Cookie Information (formerly WP GDPR Compliance)
  • Elegro Crypto Payment
  • Elementor (required)
  • MailChimp for WordPress
  • Slider Revolution
  • ThemeREX Addons (required)
  • ThemeREX Updater
  • TI WooCommerce Wishlist
  • WooCommerce

You can find a detailed overview of each plug-in in the Plug-ins section of this documentation file.

There is only one required plug-in for proper theme functioning, and that is ThemeREX Addons. The rest of the plug-ins are recommended for installation, but not required.

To make the theme look exactly as on the demo page, you would need to install the recommended plug-ins:

  1. After the installation/activation of ThemeREX Addons plug-in and theme activation, you will see a prompt with a list of plug-ins to install. Click on the Begin installing plugins link or go to Appearance > Install Plugins.
  2. Check the plug-ins you want to install, select the Install option and click Apply. Installation may take a few minutes, please be patient and do not refresh the page.
  3. Now, activate the plug-ins. Go to Appearance > Install Plugins, check all the listed plug-ins, choose Activate option and click Apply.

In case you are running a shared hosting with limited resources (e.g. GoDaddy), we do recommend enabling only the essential plug-ins (e.g. ThemeREX Addons, Elementor) and disable the rest. Otherwise, it may significantly increase the memory consumption, which might lead to unwanted issues.

PLEASE NOTE! The installation and activation of bundled plug-ins run automatically. Anyway, if you have any issues, please extract plugins.zip archive (from the theme package) and proceed with the plug-ins installation manually.

Gutenberg Compatibility

Our theme is compatible with Gutenberg page builder. You can create new pages using this editor, though you can still use pre-built custom header and footer layouts.

All existing demo pages and layouts are built through Elementor Page Builder and should be customized via Elementor ONLY.

PLEASE NOTE! It is possible to switch between the page builders. Please use One page builder for creating/customizing One particular page/post/layout.

Child Theme

If you want to make changes to the theme's files and functions, we strongly recommend installing a child theme. This ensures that your theme customizations stay in place after the theme update. If you are not planning to change the core theme files, you are free to skip this chapter.

IMPORTANT! Install the child theme before importing the demo data. Otherwise, all of your theme options will be reset.

A child theme is installed the same way you install a parent theme. Locate the lunna-child.zip file in the theme package and upload it via the WordPress admin panel. Alternatively, you can unzip it and upload via FTP (see main theme installation chapter).

Using a Child Theme

Your child theme has its own functions.php file. Use it to copy modified functions from the parent theme's functions.php, or register new functions.

You can copy all files from the parent theme into the child theme except files located in the following folders:

  • /includes
  • /plugins
  • /theme-options
  • /theme-specifics

In the /front-page folder, you can copy all files except front-page.options.php.

If the file you want to edit is in one of these folders, you need to copy the required function from that file, and register it in the child theme's functions.php.

The rest of the files can be copied and edited directly in the child theme folder.

When copying parent theme files into the child theme, preserve the original folder structure. Create respective folders and make sure that the file path is the same as in the parent theme.

Demo Content

Our theme includes a simple One-click demo data installation, which allows your site to look exactly as on the theme demo.

Before installing demo data, please make sure you have activated your theme copy (entered the purchase code or Envato Elements token in the WP Dashboard > Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > General tab) and installed all the required plug-ins. Check the Plug-ins installation section for more information about the required plug-ins.

In case you do not have your Purchase Code, please navigate to your ThemeForest "Downloads" page and click on the theme download link. Check this guide for more details.

To generate Envato Elements token, follow the link from your WP admin panel. Please view this guide for more information.

IMPORTANT! Our theme supports RTL text direction (compatibility, without rtl-demo content)! Please FIRST choose the correct language in your WordPress settings (Dashboard > Settings > General > Site Language), then proceed with the demo data installation.

Our theme contains RTL styles. The page content should be manually adjusted for RTL text-direction using Elementor settings (e.g. changing the alignment of icons, etc).

In order to import the demo content go to Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > Theme Dashboard > Demo Data.

On the page that showed up set the required parameters.

Partial Import

When choosing the partial demo data import, the new content will be added to your existing data.

Although this will not overwrite your existing content, we still recommend backing up your website before doing this.

Note, that the pages are imported without the original images. Instead, the image placeholders are used. This is done to keep your existing content intact.

Import separate pages means that you receive the page structured like on our demo, just widgets set that requires further customization: you should replace demo categories/post ids with your own ones.

Full Import

When choosing this option, all the existing content of your website will be lost and replaced with the new data. We recommend using this option for new WordPress installations only.

Use the full import option if you want to have an exact copy of the theme demo. It enables you to import all media files, pages, theme options, and plug-in settings.

Some plug-ins increase the memory consumption. For example, BuddyPress and bbPress (not included into the theme's package) require additional 60-80Mb. If you are having trouble installing the demo data, deactivate massive plug-ins and try again.

In case demo data installation is stuck and you see "Error load data from the file ... " error message, you can manually install it by downloading the default.zip archive with demo data from our server. The archive should be unzipped. Then create demo/ folder in wp-content/themes/lunna/ directory and copy /default folder to wp-content/themes/lunna/demo.

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 service provider to make sure that your server configuration meets the Theme Requirements. Otherwise, please refer your request to our support department.

Installation FAQs

There are two ways to solve this problem.
  1. Contact your web hosting service provider to increase your upload_max_filesize to 80M.
  2. Upload the extracted theme package via an FTP client to wp-content/themes directory.
The error occurs because of the low memory_limit. You can increase memory_limit on your server in several ways, namely by editing:
  1. wp-config.php file: define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');
  2. php.ini: memory_limit = 128M;
  3. .htaccess file: php_value memory_limit 128M;
Please contact your web hosting service provider to enable mbstring PHP function in server settings. The function is needed for some languages, such as Japanese, Chinese etc. In case you can not enable the settings, please contact the support team to get assistance with disabling the function in the theme.
Edit wp-config.php file and add the following lines after database information:
  • define( 'FS_METHOD', 'direct' );
  • define('FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0770);
  • define('FS_CHMOD_FILE', 0660);
Please contact your web hosting service provider to make sure that your PHP configuration limits are as follows:
  • max_execution_time 600
  • memory_limit 128M
  • post_max_size 32M
  • upload_max_filesize 32M

Then re-import demo data - it will be successful. In case you still have any issues, please contact our support team.
Please unselect "Media" in the list on the "Install demo data" screen and import the rest of the data. Our Support team can provide the demo media archive, so you could upload media via FTP, just submit a support ticket.

Theme Update

This step is required if you received the notification that a new version of the theme is available. You can see this information in Changelog section at the bottom of the item's details page.

Before you go ahead with the update make sure to backup your old theme's folder. Download it to your computer locally.

Update Option 1. Update using the ThemeREX Updater plug-in

  1. Please make sure the ThemeREX Updater plug-in is installed and activated. This plug-in is provided with the theme.
  2. Optional! If you have activated your theme copy (entered the purchase code or Envato Elements token in the Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > Theme Dashboard > General tab) you can omit this step.
    Otherwise, navigate to Appearance > ThemeREX Updater and enter your purchase code to get the latest versions of bundled plug-ins and theme updates through the WordPress admin panel. To get the code, please navigate to your ThemeForest "Downloads" page and click on the theme download link. Check this guide for more details.
    Please note, this section requires a purchase code ONLY! Envato Elements token will not work here!
  3. We recommend you to check the "Create backups" option (Appearance > ThemeREX Updater tab) to allow the system create backups for plug-ins versions and the theme automatically.
  4. Proceed to WP Dashboard > Updates and check if any updates are available.
  5. Choose the options for an update (plug-in, theme, etc.) and click on Update button.
  6. You can restore the backups created by the system in WP Dashboard > Updates or in Appearance > ThemeREX Updater (if the "Create backups" option was checked before the update).

Update Option 2. Update using WordPress uploader

  1. Log into your ThemeForest account and navigate to Downloads tab. Find the theme and download Installable WordPress file only.
  2. Log into your WordPress website and go to Appearance > Themes.
  3. Activate a default WordPress theme. Delete the older version of your theme and re-upload the new WordPress Installable files that you have downloaded from ThemeForest during the 1st step.
  4. Once it is uploaded, activate the theme.

    IMPORTANT! If you're using a child theme, do not activate the newly uploaded parent theme. Activate your old child theme instead. Otherwise, all the child theme customizations will be lost.
  5. Update (if necessary!) the included plug-ins, if you see a notification message prompting about a newer version.
    • Navigate to WP Dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins.
    • Update ThemeREX Addons plug-in. You can click on "Update" button (if available in a particular theme) or deactivate and delete this plug-in. Then follow the prompt to install it again. This will load a new plug-in version on the site.
    • Deactivate and delete the rest plug-in(s) of old version.
    • Go to Appearance > Install Plugins and install the plug-in(s) like it was described in the Plugins Installation section of this documentation.

Update Option 3. Update using FTP client

  1. Log into your ThemeForest account and get the last version of the theme as described above.
  2. Connect to your server using desktop client software (we recommend Filezilla and CyberDuck).
  3. Change directory to /wp-content/themes.
  4. Remove/rename existing folder with old theme files.
  5. Unpack theme installable files downloaded from ThemeForest and upload them to the themes folder.
  6. Update (if necessary!) the included plug-ins in the way described above, if you see a notification message prompting about a newer version.

Now let's navigate to Appearance (WP Dashboard) > Customize to flexibly control the appearance and behavior of the whole website as well as individual types of posts, pages and categories.

IMPORTANT! Please be aware that our theme provides a special inheritance hierarchy system for "Theme Options" settings. It means that individual settings of each page may override global settings made with Customizer Panel.
Settings of "Blog", "WooCommerce", "Plugins settings" (such as Portfolio, Services, Team and Testimonials) and other groups may also override default/general settings available through Customizer.

Moreover, you can see the changes of the front-end right after the alterations - when the needed parameter is selected, without switching from admin to front-end each time. When you are done with the changes, you should click on Publish button at the top of the Customizer's side menu.

IMPORTANT! Please be aware that all the Customizer's settings are also available for editing through Theme Panel (WordPress Dashboard Menu) > Theme Options section.

Settings of this group are responsible for managing site identity features. This is the initial place where you should upload your logo.

Uploading Logo via Layouts

The logo uploaded in the Customizer can be overwritten by the logo image selected in the Header layout. This allows you to upload a different logo image for each page.

Header Position

The Header position setting controls the way your header behaves in regards to the main body area.

Go to Appearance > Customize > Header and adjust the Header Style setting.
Check which header style you are currently using in Appearance > Customize > Header > Header Style. "Default" header style is created via the Global Customize settings (Appearance > Customize). You can also navigate to the .../wp-content/themes/lunna/skins/default/templates/ folder and edit the corresponding template file header-default.php.

For"Custom" header style
  1. Check which custom header Layout you are currently using in Appearance > Customize > Header in the Select custom layout option.
  2. In the WordPress admin panel, go to Layouts > All Layouts, and open the currently active header layout. If you do not see the Layouts menu item - activate the ThemeREX Addons plug-in first.
  3. Make the required changes and save it.
For more information on how to change, customize and create Layouts, see the Layouts section.
By default, the header logo settings can be adjusted in Appearance > Customize > Logo & Site Identity.

However, you can specify the logo in your header Layout using the Elementor Layouts: Logo widget (ThemeREX Addons Layouts group). IMPORTANT! The logo specified in your header Layout overwrites the logo set in the Customizer.
A sticky header is a type of header that stays at the top of your page while scrolling. You can enable or disable the sticky header behavior by following these steps:
  1. Open the header Layout you are currently using in Layouts > All Layouts.
  2. Locate the section that contains the menu element (or any other section that should have the sticky behavior) and click on the Edit section button:
  3. Go to the panel > Custom Layout > Fix this row when scroll, choose the needed option from the drop-down list (depending on whether you want to enable or disable the sticky menu).
  4. Save the changes.
There are 2 ways to add a mobile header:
  • via header Layouts - navigate to Layouts (WP Dashboard) > All Layouts; Please see elementor video tutorial or article.
    We recommend you to create separate custom header layout for mobile devices and specify it in the Appearance > Customize > Mobile section. This will increase the load speed of your website on mobile devices.
  • in the Customizer - enable it in the Mobile Header section in Appearance > Customize > Header (works for Default Header style only!).

Setting of this group is responsible for choosing the style of the footer area.

Style-related settings

These settings allow choosing a footer style: "Default" or "Custom". Please note that custom footer layouts are available only if the ThemeREX Addons plug-in is activated.

Available Custom Footer Layouts:

  1. Footer Centered
  2. Footer Classic
  3. Footer Default
  4. Footer Modern
  5. Footer Simple
  6. Footer Small
  7. Footer Small with Logo

Please also see footer-related layouts section of this documentation file. All elements of custom footer areas can be edited in Dashboard - Layouts tab. Check the Layouts section and this video tutorial for more information.

Available Default Footer Style (without footer widgets):

The footer area in "Default" style is created via the Global Customize settings (Appearance > Customize). You can also navigate to the .../wp-content/themes/lunna/skins/default/templates/ folder and edit the corresponding template file footer-default.php in any text editor.

Additional options for Default Footer style:

  • Footer widgets - select a preferred footer widget set. Check the Widgets section for more information.

  • Copyright - enter the copyright message. Use the {Y} symbol to indicate the current year.

Mobile

In case you care about the page speed optimization and want your website to load faster on mobile devices, this section is just for you. The settings of this group allow you to set separate header and footer layouts as well as specify a sidebar to be displayed on mobile devices only.

We recommend you to create alternative custom header and footer layouts for mobile devices (without any hidden elements for other screen resolutions), as these hidden elements still take time while loading your website.

Header-related settings

These settings allow selecting header style and position. For custom header style you can specify the header layout, that is available for customizing in WP Dashboard > Layouts.

The Header position setting controls the way your header behaves in regards to the main body area.

  • Inherit - the value is inherited from the Appearance > Customize > Header section.
  • Default - the header occupies a separate section and does not collide with other website elements.
  • Over - ideally is used for pages with sliders. The header elements overflow the section that follows next, and the header background becomes transparent.
  • Under - sets the header area stuck behind the content area when scrolling down the page.

Sidebar-related settings

  • Sidebar position on mobile - moves sidebar to the right or left hand side of the page, or hides it. The Inherit option inherits the value specified in the Appearance > Customize > General panel.

    Additional options for "Left/Right" sidebar position:

    Sidebar style - choose whether to use the default sidebar or custom sidebar layout (available only if the ThemeREX Addons is activated).

    For "Default" sidebar style:

    • Sidebar widgets - specify which widget set to show in the sidebar area. The widgets are available in Appearance (WP Dashboard) > Widgets.
    For "Custom" sidebar style:

    • Select custom layout - select already built sidebar layout. You can create new sidebar layouts or customize the existing ones in the Dashboard > Layouts tab, using a user-friendly Elementor. Check the Layouts section for more information.
  • Content width - choose the content width if the sidebar is hidden.

Footer-related settings

These settings allow selecting a footer style. The Inherit option inherits the value specified in the Appearance > Customize > Footer section. For "Default" footer style you can also specify widgets sets and columns quantity. For "Custom" footer style "Select custom layout" option is available. You can manage these footer layouts in the WP Dashboard > Layouts tab.

Menus

Settings of this group are responsible for managing Menus. Each menu location is available for filling with any of the predefined menu sets.

Menus are also available for editing through the "Appearance > Menus" options.

Below are predefined Menu locations:

  • Main Menu - displays the main menu.
  • Mobile Menu - displays the menu on mobile devices.
  • Footer Menu - displays the menu in the footer area.

Predefined Menu sets:

Within custom header & footer layouts, you can add menus using the Elementor Layouts: Menu widget.

We have added the following custom CSS classes to stretch the drop-down menu items. The class names should be assigned to the menu items of the first level, like on our demo:

  • .columns-X - "X" is for the number of columns to split your menu items into.
  • .trx_addons_stretch_window_boxed - stretches the background of the drop-down menu to the whole window width, though the content stays in the area of limited screen width.
  • .trx_addons_stretch_window - stretches the drop-down menu to the whole screen width.

You can enable or disable the CSS Classes option in the Screen Options in the top right corner of the WordPress admin.

Widgets

Widgets are the blocks of content that can be placed into specifically designed widget areas.

You can find the list of available widgets and widget areas under Appearance (WP Dashboard) > Widgets. Here it is possible to create additional widget sets, that can be assigned to available default widget areas. This is useful when you have different widget sets for different pages.

IMPORTANT! Our theme supports both Classic Widgets Editor and New Block Widgets Editor (WordPress 5.8+). You can easily switch between the editors using the "Disable new Widgets Block Editor" option in Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons > General section.

By default our theme supports 7 widget areas:

  • Header
  • Sidebar
  • Top of the page
  • Above the content
  • Below the content
  • Bottom of the page
  • Footer

You can add widgets into widget areas by simply dragging and dropping.

But in order to see them on your website, you need to make sure you have a particular widget set assigned to a particular default widget area. You can assign widget sets either for the whole website (in Appearance > Customize), or for a specific page (single Page > Theme Options > Content/Widgets/Header/Footer).

IMPORTANT! The Sidebar/Footer widgets are available for "Default" sidebar/footer styles ONLY!
In order to manage custom sidebar or custom footer styles, proceed to Dashboard > Layouts tab and update the corresponding sidebar/footer layout.

Widget Sets Assignment for the Whole Site

Header widgets can be assigned in Appearance > Customize > Header section.

Body widgets (for sidebar, top of the page, above the content, below the content and bottom of the page) are accessible in Appearance > Customize > General section.
The sidebar widgets work for Default Sidebar Style only! Otherwise, navigate to the WP Dashboard > Layouts tab to manage the sidebar layout.

Footer widgets are available for managing in Appearance > Customize > Footer section. The footer widgets work for Default Footer Style only! Otherwise, you need to customize the corresponding footer Layout in WP Dashboard > Layouts.

Widget Sets Assignment for a Specific Page

If you want to specify a widget set for a separate page, open that page in your WordPress admin and in the Theme Options section choose the required widgets. The widgets assigned in Theme Options would be applicable only for that particular page.

Customizing Widget Sets that are already enabled on a Specific Page

Depending on the selected page that is available for editing with Customizer's tools, you can notice a different kind of widgets sets included to a particular page. The same can be done through Appearance (WP Dashboard) > Widgets.

Below are options responsible for managing widgets/blocks.

  • Add a Widget (for Classic Widgets Editor) or Add a Block (for New Block Widgets Editor): just click on "Add a Widget/Block" button to see the available widgets, then choose the one you want to use: Click on the block itself to open its settings (for New Block Widgets Editor).
  • Reorder the position of widgets using three icons:

    • Move - moves the widget to another sidebar.
    • Down - moves the widget down.
    • Up - moves the widget upwards.

After you reorder the position of the widgets/blocks in the sidebar, save your changes.

See the example of how the Sidebar Widgets Set may look like ("Default" sidebar style):

For "Default" footer style specify widgets sets and widgets' columns quantity as well as choosing whether to expand the footer for the whole width of the page ("Footer fullwidth" option). For "Custom" footer style "Select custom layout" option is available. You can manage these footer layouts in the WP Dashboard > Layouts tab.

WooCommerce

Settings of this group allow managing the overall look of the WooCommerce elements (works only if the WooCommerce plug-in is installed). The single products can be added/customized in WordPress Dashboard Menu > Products.

The quantity of products displayed on shop page is inherited from the Appearance > Customize > WooCommerce > Product Catalog section.

Typography

Here you can upload fonts and adjust font settings for specific typography elements.

Check this article or video tutorial for more information on how to add new Google Fonts and Custom Fonts.

The theme enables you to use both Google Fonts and custom fonts in your design. You can load up to 5 different font families, including different styles and weights for each typeface.

IMPORTANT! To manage fonts quantity available for upload, edit 'max_load_fonts' => 5 variable in theme-specific/theme.setup.php file.

The Other font is used for the following elements:

  • Quotations (Gutenberg Quote block);
  • Content of the testimonials, displayed using the Elementor "Testimonials" widget (ThemeREX Addons Extensions group) in "Bred", "Decoration", "Alter 2", "Alter", "Fashion", "Creative", "Accent 2", "Accent", "Hover", "Common", "List", "Light", "Extra", "Plain", "Simple" and "Default" styles;

Colors

The theme allows you to assign color schemes to specific parts of your website. This is useful for highlighting certain areas and giving them a distinctive look.

The theme supports 3 color schemes - default (light), dark and alter light.

Check this video tutorial for more information on how to customize color schemes.

IMPORTANT! Due to specifics of CSS rules, you are unable to assign a light color scheme to any website part, if the dark color scheme is enabled.

Here are the website parts to which you can assign color schemes:

  • Show Helpers - enables a colored border arround a block in the Customizer with an element's name and color scheme applied to this particular element. The helper can be useful for editing the theme's color schemes. It helps you understand the colors of what elements you are customizing.
  • Site Color Scheme - defines the main color scheme of your website. If no other part of website has a color scheme specified explicitly, affects the whole website. Otherwise, affects the body background color, body typography and pretty much anything that is located below the header and above the footer areas (except sidebar).
  • Header Color Scheme - modifies the color scheme of the header.
  • Sidebar Color Scheme - affects the color of the sidebar. The Inherit option inherits the value specified in the Site Color Scheme setting.
  • Footer Color Scheme - specifies the color of your footer.

You can also assign color schemes for individual pages in the Theme Options > Colors panel of those pages.

Color Scheme Editor

Here you can customize the color schemes of your website.

Three additional buttons are available:

  • Reset - removes the current changes, made after your last saving.
  • Copy - creates a new color scheme by duplicating the default one. Thus, it is possible to set different color schemes for particular pages and their parts.
  • Delete - removes the current color scheme. You can delete only newly created color schemes. All default ones will remain.

Select the color scheme you want to customize and choose one of 2 modes (editor types) - simple or advanced.

In a simple mode, you can customize the accent colors (link colors) of a theme. If you want to dig deeper, switch to the advanced mode. You can entirely change the theme colors.

Both modes contain the following groups of settings:

MAIN

The main color group of a website. Here you can find the following elements:

  • Background color - the main background color of a website; (for advanced mode only)
  • Border color - color used for elements with a border and for content delimiters; (for advanced mode only)
  • Text - color for the main body text; (for advanced mode only)
  • Text dark - color mainly applied for headings and page/post titles; (for advanced mode only)
  • Text light - color used for additional meta elements, such as post author, date, comments, etc. (for advanced mode only)
  • Link - the main accent color of a website. The color can be used as links color, a background color for buttons and the color for minor elements, like list item markers, etc. By default, this setting sets the Link hover color for the Alter color group.
  • Link hover - the hover color of the elements with the main accent color and the hover color for links. It can also be used as the main accent color for the Alter color group.
  • Accent 2 - the second accent color;
  • Accent 2 hover - the hover color of the elements with second accent colors;
  • Accent 3 - the third accent color;
  • Accent 3 hover - the hover color of the elements with third accent colors;

ALTER

Alter means alternative color group, mostly applied for sidebar and footer, if a color scheme is assigned to them and it coincides with the site color scheme (NOT inherited). This group of colors can also be applied to page widgets or blocks that are output on some background by default (the background is NOT added through the page builders). Alter colors include the same elements as the Main color group, plus two additional hover colors for border and background.

EXTRA

An additional color group for extra elements such as dropdowns, price blocks, table headers, blockquotes, etc.
As a rule, the text and background colors from the Extra group should contrast against the respective colors from the Main color group.

INVERSE (for advanced mode only)

Inverse elements are the elements that use the theme accent color (usually the main one) ("Link", "Accent 2", "Accent 3" options) as a background color. In this way, they get distinctive look and stand out from the rest of the content. You can apply these settings for buttons, blockquotes, dropdowns, etc.

  • Border color;
  • Border hover;
  • Text color - the main body text color;
  • Text dark - used for headings or other elements that need a darker color;
  • Text light - used for meta elements that provide additional information;
  • Link color - since the main accent color (i.e. the link color) sets the background color, you need to specify a different link color;
  • Link hover - the hover color of the link;

INPUT (for advanced mode only)

Colors for form fields: input fields, text areas, select fields, etc.

  • Background - background color of an input field;
  • Background hover - background color when an input field is active;
  • Border color;
  • Border hover - border color when a field is active;
  • Text - a regular text color;
  • Text dark - the color of the text when a field is active (as you type in);
  • Text light - used for the placeholder text when a field is not active, before you type in;

In case the changes of the color schemes are not applied, please enable Debug mode (in Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > General tab) and save ThemeREX Addons settings.

Background

Custom Page Settings

Each page has a Theme Options panel, where you can specify custom page parameters.

In Theme Options, you can assign a different header/footer style, widgets set, body style, as well as many other options for each individual page.

These settings are applied to the page you are editing, and will overwrite the global settings specified in the Customizer.

Options Presets Group

Here you can save the page settings (for header, widgets, footer, etc.) as a preset template and duplicate these settings on a new page without checking the required options in each section of Theme Options panel (Content/Widgets/Header/Footer/Colors). All you need to do is to apply the already created preset template on a new page by using control icons ("Apply selected preset"/"Create a new preset"/"Delete selected preset"). The tooltips for the icons will help you.

You can enable or disable the Theme Options panel in the Preferences > Panels in the top right corner of the WordPress admin.

Scroll to Content Functionality

In this chapter you will see how to set a scroll to content functionality on single pages/posts. Let's look closer at two variants:

  • scroll down from a header to a content area of a page/post;
  • scroll down from a slider to the section below it;

Scroll to Content

Here is an example what we are aimed to achieve.

An ID content_skip_link_anchor is implemented by default to the page and post templates and is assigned to the content area.

If you want to add a scroll to content functionality, you need to open a header layout (WP Dashboard > Layouts), insert an icon or a button according to your design and specify #content_skip_link_anchor as a link for it. Safe your changes.

The link will work automatically. The corresponding anchor is added to the theme core files. No further alterations are necessary.

Alternatively you can use Elementor Anchor widget (ThemeREX Addons Elements group) and place this anchor wherever you want on a page with your own links and IDs.

Scroll below Slider

A scroll down icon/text link in this case is a part of a slider that is inserted to the content area on a page. Once you click on the icon you will be scrolled down to the content section right below the slider, like on demo "Personal Portfolio" homepage.

This is a revolution slider's functionality. You can easily enable it for a definite slider (WP Dashboard > Slider Revolution) through the slider's settings. Open a slider, click on a scroll down icon to open its actions settings, like on the screenshot below.

In the "Action Type" option choose "Scroll below slider" and save your changes.

Custom CSS Classes

Introduction to Layouts

Layouts is a tool that lets you create custom headers, footers, and other website sections, and is based on the Elementor Page Builder.

Layouts are available after you activate the ThemeREX Addons plug-in. After the activation, a new menu item appears in your WordPress admin panel.

Your theme comes with a number of pre-built Layouts. If you've imported the full content, they will be available for you from the start. Otherwise, you would need to generate them in Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > Theme Specific > Create Layouts.

Creating Layouts

In order to create a layout, navigate to Layouts (WP Dashboard) > Add New.

Layouts are built in a similar way you build regular pages with Elementor Page Builder. The difference is that Layouts expand the default list of widgets by adding layout-specific widgets and provide you with additional section settings.

Please check this article for detailed information regarding layouts customization.
You can also view our video tutorials about header and footer layouts customization.

When creating a Layout, first you need to specify the correct Layout type in the Item Options panel:

  1. Header - the layout is applied only to output in the header area. It appears in the list of available headers in Appearance > Customize > Header > Header Style > Custom.
  2. Footer - the layout is applied only to output in the footer area. It appears in the list of available footers in Appearance > Customize > Footer > Footer Style > Custom.

    You can also choose a different Header/Footer Layout for a specific page. Simply open that page in the WordPress admin, and in the Theme Options > Header/Footer panel edit the Header Style and Footer Style settings.

  3. Submenu - the layout is used to create custom dropdown menu without installing Uber Menu/Mega Menu plug-ins. You can apply the submenu layout in the Appearance > Menus > Layout of submenu (optional) field.
    "Layout of submenu" field appears only when at least one submenu layout is created.
    Please view this article for more information about submenu layouts.
  4. Sidebar - the layout is applied only to output in the sidebar area. It helps create custom sidebars using Elementor page builder. Thus, you are not limited to standard widgets and can use any elements available in the page builder. It appears in the list of available sidebars in the Appearance > Customize > General/Mobile/Blog/Shop/Plugin Settings sections or in page > Theme Options > Content > Sidebar style > Custom.
  5. Blog - custom style or template to output the Blog Stream page or posts elements in Elementor "Blogger" widget, thus creating a blog stream page or page blocks with unique overall look. Use it in combination with Blog Item Parts widget, that lets you insert any post parts (featured image, title, meta data, content, custom fields) to page in any combination and in any quantity.
  6. Custom - the standard layout fragment that can be added into a web page using an Elementor Page Builder Layouts widget.

Custom Layouts can be especially useful when you need to use the same section in different places on your website. Instead of building it from scratch on every new page, you can save it as a custom Layout and insert using a Layouts widget.

In order to add a custom Layout to a web page:

  1. Add a new Elementor Page Builder section in the website editing screen.
  2. In the left panel with elementor elements open "ThemeREX Addons Layouts" group, drag and drop the Layouts widget from the panel into your section.
  3. Choose the desired custom Layout or Elementor's template from the dropdown list ("Type" option should be set to "Default").

Blog Layout is just a scheme showing the position of post elements like featured image, post title, meta data, excerpt, etc. Use Blog Item Parts widget to output each element, like in the example below.

You can apply the blog layouts to:

  • Blog Stream Page - create a page, choose "Blog Archive" template and in the Theme Options > Content > Blog style option find your blog layout. Treat the screenshot below just as an example.
  • Blogger Widget - open a page/post, in the Elementor widget panel navigate to "ThemeREX Addons Elements group" and insert Blogger widget to the content area.

Layout Templates

In case there are some page fragments with more or less identical structure, you can create one layout using the Elementor Page Builder, save it as a template and use it as a foundation for your new Layout. Thus, there is no need to create a new layout or block each time. Please see this article for more information.

Open a Layout and click on the Add Template button from the editing screen (Elementor Page Builder's backend editor). Scroll down to view the available templates:

Creating a Mobile Header in Layouts

Layouts is a preferred way of creating a mobile header since it gives you flexibility and control over your elements. Creating a mobile header is similar to creating a standard header, except there are several features you should know about in order to use Layouts more efficiently. Please see the official elementor video tutorial or article for more information.

We recommend you to create separate custom header layout for mobile devices and specify it in the Appearance > Customize > Mobile section. This will improve the website loading speed on mobile devices.

Layouts Widgets

Layout-specific widgets are additional widgets available for editing/creating layouts. They are especially useful for building headers and footers. You can find layout-specific widgets under the ThemeREX Addons Layouts group in the Elementor widgets panel.

Layouts: Blog Item Parts

Inserts any post parts (featured image, title, meta data, content, custom fields) to your custom page fragment. This widget outputs 1 post part at a time. If you want to create a page block with unique structure, just use as many "Blog Item Parts" widgets as you need and output post parts in any combination and in any quantity.

Layouts: Cart

Displays a shopping cart icon (in case the WooCommerce plug-in is active). When clicked, the icon triggers a window with additional shopping details.

For narrow and normal row types, the cart displays the number of products in the cart, the sum total, and an icon label. The compact row type has a shopping cart with a product counter badge only.

Layouts: Currency

Displays a currency button, in case the WooCommerce and WooCommerce Currency Switcher plug-ins are active.

Should be used for headers only. Displays a featured image of the current post/page. Often used in combination with the Title and Breadcrumbs widget.

The widget has to contain at least one element, otherwise the featured image would be hidden.

Layouts: Iconed Text

Inserts an icon and two text lines. It is possible to add a URL to the icon.

Layouts

Inserts content in different ways, depending on the type of the layout:

  • Default - displays one of the custom layouts available in WP Dashboard > Layouts post type. Please click here to view the list of available custom layouts.
  • Popup - creates popup notifications that appear whenever a user clicks on a link or a button.
  • Panel - creates a panel with some content/menu that appears whenever a user clicks on a link or a button.
  • Panel Menu - creates a panel with some content/menu that appears whenever a user clicks on a link or a button. You can specify the panel menu style (fullscreen or narrow) and vertical menu style (default or extra).

Select which type of the layout to use in the layouts widget's content settings.

The algorithm of building a popup notification or panel:

  1. Create a custom layout with required content that will be displayed in the popup window or panel. If you want to use simple text/image or shortcode (like grid gallery, mailchimp form, etc.), just omit this step.
  2. Add a new Elementor Page Builder section to the page. In the left panel with elementor elements open "ThemeREX Addons Layouts" group, drag and drop the Layouts widget from the panel into your section. Select the desired widget's type (popup/panel) and custom Layout from the dropdown list (Layout field) or enter simple text/shortcode/image from the Media Library in the Content field (if "Layout" option is set to "Use content").
    You may navigate to Edit Layouts > Advanced tab to enclose the elements with paddings or set the background image/color.
  3. In the widget's settings under the Content tab, Popup (panel) ID field, assign the ID to your popup/panel, e.g. example_popup.
  4. Use the popup/panel ID, preceded by a pound sign (#), as an address for the link or button that should trigger the popup/panel.

The background color for the panels is inherited from the "Layouts" widget's color scheme, specified in a particular header layout. Use Elementor navigator to open the settings, if needed.

Layouts: Language

In case the WPML plug-in is active, the widget displays button (drop-down list) that allows choosing the necessary language for the current page.

Layouts: Login

Displays a login/logout link with an icon.

The text for the checkbox "I agree..." (registration form) is set in Appearance > Customize > General > Text with Privacy Policy link.
In order to add/customize the Privacy Policy link, navigate to Settings (WP Dashboard) > Privacy and specify the page that will be used as a Privacy Policy one.

PLEASE NOTE! In case you are planning to use the registration form without consent checkbox, just leave the "Text with Privacy Policy link" option empty in the Appearance > Customize > General section!

Inserts a logo (any image). In case there is no logo (both in layouts and in the Customizer), the theme displays the website title and description specified in Appearance > Customize > Logo & Site Identity.

Uploading Logo

The algorithm of our actions would be as follows:

  1. Select the Layout where you want to place the new logo by going to Layouts > All Layouts.
  2. Locate the Elementor Layouts: Logo widget (ThemeREX Addons Layouts group) and click on the Edit button.
  3. Upload a new logo in the panel > Content tab and save the changes.

IMPORTANT! Logo is available for editing for each particular layout. If no logo is selected in the Layouts: Logo widget, the initial logo from the Appearance > Customize > Logo & Site Identity will be used.

Layouts: Menu

Displays one of available menus. Specify a preferred menu in the Menu field by its name, like on the screenshot below.

The Layout parameter allows selecting the Menu Layout:

  • Default - standard menu with links.
  • Burger - just a button that opens Mobile menu.

Direction of the menu items: Horizontal or Vertical.

Specify default behavior for a responsive menu in the Content tab:

  • Mobile button - choose whether to replace the menu with a menu button when switching to the mobile version.
  • Add to the mobile menu - use this menu as a mobile menu only.

Layouts: Single Post Meta

Displays elements from meta data of the current post (categories, post author, post date, post counters, share links, edit link).

Layouts: Search

Adds a search button/input field. There are 2 layouts (default and modern) available and 3 styles for default layout:

  • Normal - a standard search field.
  • Expand - displays a search button that expands a search field on click.
  • Fullscreen - displays a search button that expands the search field to the entire screen.

Layouts: Title

Displays a title and breadcrumbs of the currently opened page/post.

Layouts: Widgets

Displays one of the available widget sets (sidebars). You can choose the number of widget columns. In case 0 is chosen, the number of columns equals to the number of widgets in the selected widget set.

Elementor Section Settings

Layouts have an extended number of settings for Section, default Elementor element.

Choose which section you want to edit, click on the Edit Section button and go to the panel > Edit Section > Custom Layout.

  • Row type - defines a row type. It accepts the following values:
    1. Inherit - a default row with no layout-specific styles applied.
    2. Narrow - the smallest type of row. The Elementor widgets feature a small font size and small icons. The Layouts: Iconed Text widget places text in 1 line (even for two-line option).
    3. Compact - a smaller variation of the normal row type. The Elementor widgets have a standard font size and small icons. The Iconed Text widget puts text in 1 line (even for the two-line option).
    4. Normal - a row of a normal height. The Elementor widgets inserted into this type of row have a standard font size, and medium-sized icons. The Layouts: Iconed Text widget features text divided into 2 lines.
  • Delimiter - adds a border to the row's bottom.
  • Fix this row when scroll - 'fixes' the row to the top of the page (or to the last 'fixed row'). Useful for creating sticky navigation.
    To avoid "Sticky Menu" behavior select "Don't fix" option.

    • Delay before fix this row - the row goes beyond the edge of the window, then "returns" animatedly and sticks.
    • Hide this row on unfix - hides the row until scrolling down.
  • Hide on the Frontpage - hides the row on the page assigned as the Homepage (Frontpage) in Settings > Reading. In case the Blog Feed page is assigned as the Homepage, the row stays visible.
  • Hide on single posts and pages - hides the row on single pages and posts.
  • Hide on other pages - hides the row on pages that are not single ones (other than is_singular()).

Elementor Widgets in WordPress let you add different kinds of functionality to your website without writing a single line of code.

Our theme comes with a number of custom Elementor widgets allowing you to add the information in a simple way.

Custom Elementor widgets (with icon functionality) support icons from standard Fontello icons set. You can expand the list of available icons by adding new ones from the fontello website. In order to add new icons proceed to wp-content/themes/your-theme/skins/default/css/font-icons/config.json. Watch this video guide for more information.
Please note, the location of config.json file and website page builder with available set of widgets/shortcodes in your theme may vary from the video provided!

All custom Elementor widgets are divided into the following groups of elements in the Elementor Editor:

ThemeREX Addons Elements group

Actions

This Elementor widget inserts "Call to action" or columns layout.

Example:

Anchor

The Elementor "Anchor" widget inserts an anchor element that lets you link to specific parts of your page (or to other pages).

If you want to add smooth navigation between your anchors, check the Scroll to Anchor box in Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > Shortcodes > Anchor section.

Audio Effects

This Elementor widget allows you to add an equalizer (sound) icon to your page, so your customers can turn on/off the sounds on the page themselves. This works only if the Audio Effects Add-on is installed.

The following statuses of the indicator are available:

  • Static enabled - sounds effects only (hover, click), without background music;
  • Animated - all sounds are turned on;
  • Static disabled - all sounds are turned off;

PLEASE NOTE! The sounds indicator controlls only advanced sounds effects. Its actions do not apply to video and audio sounds that are created using video/audio widgets or external plug-ins.

Blogger

This widget displays posts, pages or custom post types from a specified category or group. Just specify the post type to show the posts from in the Edit Blogger > Content > Post type field in the Elementor panel. By default, the widget outputs single posts.

You can create additional layouts to output the posts in the WP Dashboard > Layouts using Blog layout's type (Item Options section). Please see Creating Layouts section of this documentation file for more information.

Example:

You can edit the post excerpt text by opening the corresponding blog post, and adjusting text in the Excerpt field.

Enable the Excerpt field in the Preferences > Panels panel in the top right corner of the post.

The length (in words) of the post excerpt text is inherited from the global setting in Appearance > Customize > Blog > Posts Page > Posts Page Settings.

You can enable additional taxonomy attributes (text color, text hover color and icon) for definite groups/categories of posts/post types in Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons > Extended Taxonomy tab. Then navigate to a particular category/group of posts/post types in WP Dashboard and set the required attributes.

IMPORTANT! The layout of the block depends on the combination of 2 main options: "Blogger layout" and "Template". Please feel free to play around with these options.

PLEASE NOTE! Some non-standard hover effects of blogger widget require the Mouse Helper Add-on to be active. Such hover effects are imbedded into the widget's style: Layout "List", Template "Simple (hover)". The image on hover is a featured image of a particular post.

PLEASE NOTE! The hover effects highlighted on the screenshot below require the Image Effects Add-on to be active.

Button

This Elementor widget displays buttons.

Examples:

Countdown

This Elementor widget displays time counter of two types:

  • time left before an event starts;
  • time passed since the begining of the event;

Example:

This widget allows you to build unique linked banners, assembled through Elementor page builder, like on demo "Personal Portfolio" homepage.

This Elementor widget inserts a link with absolute position, that will overlap a parent section or column. This makes the whole section/column clickable. This widget stays invisible itself, so the section or column should contain any other element.

Example:

Form

This Elementor widget displays a contact form. The text for the checkbox "I agree..." is set in Appearance > Customize > General > Text with Privacy Policy link.
In order to add/customize the Privacy Policy link, navigate to Settings (WP Dashboard) > Privacy and specify the page that will be used as a Privacy Policy one.

PLEASE NOTE! In case you are planning to use default form without consent checkbox, just leave the "Text with Privacy Policy link" option empty in the Appearance > Customize > General section!

Example:

Check the following directory .../wp-content/plugins/trx_addons/сomponents/shortcodes/form for the form-related files such as tpl.default.php, tpl.detailed.php and others. Each of these files is responsible for displaying the form in different styles. Choose the necessary file, open it with any text editor (for example Sublime or Atom), and modify the code according to your needs.

To translate the form fields edit .pot file in the following directory .../wp-content/plugins/trx_addons/languages/.... See the Theme Translation section for more information.

Google Map

This Elementor widget displays a Googlemap. Make sure there is a valid API key in the "Google API key" field on the Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > API tab.

Example:

Hotspot

As a free addition to this theme, we have included a unique ThemeREX Addons plug-in. Once activated, it allows expanding the options of the theme noticeably. These add-ons allow you to use custom widget sets and custom Elementor widgets, show custom post types, set links to your social profiles as well as some advanced theme-specific settings.

After plug-in's installation, the "ThemeREX Addons" menu item should appear in the "Theme Panel" tab in WordPress dashboard menu panel.

Below is a brief description of all the available settings.

General

Settings of this tab define the general behavior of your theme.

General Settings

  • Debug Mode - Enable debug functions and theme profiler output.

    IMPORTANT! There is a separate file for each script snippet .js and style related .css data. For better theme performance the system automatically re-compiles/re-merges these files into a single .js/.css related one after every "Save Options" button click in Customizer (Appearance > Customize) and ThemeREX Addons settings (Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons).
    In case the "Debug Mode" is on, the theme does not run the re-compile/re-merge mode, so each and every file loads separately. That is why we do recommend to turn this mode on only if you need to edit/customize the source script and style related files. Please do not edit the following (re-merged) files: trx_addons.css, trx_addons.js, __colors.css, __style.css, __scripts.js.
  • Disable new Widgets Block Editor - disable new Widgets Block Editor, if after the update to WordPress 5.8+ you are having trouble with editing widgets or working in Customizer. New Widgets Block Editor is used in WordPress 5.8+ instead of classic widgets panel.
  • Image dimensions - Which dimensions will be used for the uploaded images: "Original" or "Retina ready" (twice enlarged).
    If "Retina" option is enabled, twice enlarged images will be loaded on devices with retina displays and regular images will be used for non-retina screens. The system automatically creates retina versions for all sets of thumbnails. This will significantly enlarge your disc space. It doesn't work for previously uploaded images. In this case you can install and launch any plug-in, like regenerate thumbnails, after switching this option.
  • Quality for cropped images - Specify range of quality (1-100) to save cropped images.

    PLEASE NOTE If you change the images quality, do not forget to regenerate the thumbnails again.

  • Animate inner links - This setting adds "smooth scroll" effect to the inner page links.
  • Open external links in a new window - If checked, this setting adds parameter target="_blank" to all external links.
  • Popup Engine - Choose one of two scripts to display your popup images.

Preloader

  • Show page preloader - Select or upload page preloader image for your site.

    • Page preloader bg color - Specify background color for the page preloader. If empty - no preloader is used.

Now you can proceed with demo data installation and further theme customization. Here you can activate/deactivate, download or update add-ons if needed.

PLEASE NOTE! The following advanced theme add-ons come with the theme.

Audio Effects Add-on

With the help of Audio Effects Add-on you can easily set music on page loading, background music, sound effects on mouse events (click, hover, etc.) on your website.

Once the add-on is active, "Audio Effects" section will appear in Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons. These are the global settings. Here you can select the post types for adding params with audio effects, enable audio effects for the entire site and set the behavior of each default sound effect globally.

If you have enabled the audio effects for a definite post type, you will gain control over the sound effects on single posts/pages from this post type in their Item Options settings. These individual settings of each page/post may override global settings made with "Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons".

Moreover, the sounds on hover can be added individually to any page element through Elementor settings of a definite widget. Open a widget, proceed to Advanced or Content tab (depending on the widget) and in the "Audio Effects" section specify the needed parameters.

In order to let your customers turn on/off the sounds on a single page/post themselves, please use the Elementor "Audio Effects" widget, that adds an equalizer (sound) icon to your page.

The following statuses of the indicator are available:

  • Static enabled - sounds effects only (hover, click), without background music;
  • Animated - all sounds are turned on;
  • Static disabled - all sounds are turned off;

PLEASE NOTE! The sounds indicator controlls only advanced sounds effects. Its actions do not apply to video and audio sounds that are created using video/audio widgets or external plug-ins.

Background Text Add-on

This add-on is imbedded into the theme and can not be deactivated. The add-on enhances the Elementor functionality by adding "Background Text" parameters to Elementor sections (rows) helping you create background text lines and animate them, when they enter the visible area of ​​the window. You can also make this text "scroll", like in a news ticker. In this case after the entrance animation the background text starts scrolling continuously.

In order to decorate your theme, open your page through the Elementor page builder, find the page row (Elementor section) to which the "background text" functionality you would like to apply and proceed to Edit Section > Style > Background Text in the Elementor widgets panel. Here you can specify the text, text color, font family, font size, text shadow and other parameters for your background line.

Below you can find some clarifications of the basic options:

  • Top offset and Left offset - Shift the text. The shift point is the top left corner of a section.
  • Entrance effect - Choose appearance effect.

    • Slide - symbols appear one by one from left to right;
    • Rotate - symbols rotate one by one from top to bottom;
  • Marquee speed - Set the scrolling speed. If the option is set to 0, it means without scrolling.
  • Reverse movement - Make the text scroll in the opposite direction: for regular text - from right to left, for RTL text - from left to right.
  • Overlay image and Overlay position - Place an image (.png) over a background text line to add a "texture" effect to it.

Dynamic Background Add-on

The Dynamic Background Add-on allows you to create unusual background effects for some page elements. It fills the page section with background color gradually in a form of a circle or with fade effect, while you are scrolling down the page.

Once the add-on is active, a "Dynamic Background" section will appear in the Elementor widgets' settings, under "Advanced" tab. These settings are available for page elements (icon, title, text, image, etc.) and NOT for sections and columns.

In order to add such effect to your page, please choose a page element (icon, title, text, image, etc.) and in the widget's settings identify this page element as a Starting point. Specify the rest parameters, like ID, background effect, background color, delay, etс. Now you need to find another page element and identify it as an End point.

The effect begins when your starting breakpoint becomes visible in the window and lasts till the end breakpoint reaches the visible area of the window. The starting and end breakpoints should have the same ID to make a "pair".

The "Shift" option indicates the shift in percentage (from -100% to 100% of the screen height) of the start/end point of the effect from the bottom of the window, which is the default point of moving.
The negative shift means that the start/end point of the effect will not reach the bottom of the window.
The positive shift means that the effect will start/end when the point reaches the bottom of the window and moves set distance downward (in percentage from the window height).

The sections with dynamic background effects can intersect.

PLEASE NOTE!Please also view this video tutorial on how to customize/create the dynamic background.

Image Effects Add-on

This add-on adds modern image hover effects, based on OpenGL and curtains.js library. The image hover effects work for screen resolutions 1280px and above.

After add-on's activation, the "Image effects" section will appear in the Elementor widgets panel for Elementor "Image" widget under Content tab. Here you can select the image hover effect from the drop-down list and specify the needed parameters.

New hover effects are added to the Elementor widgets that deal with post images, like Elementor Blogger widget (ThemeREX Addons Elements group).

By default, the waves hover effect is imbedded to the Elementor Portfolio widget (ThemeREX Addons Extensions group) in "Band" style and requires the Image Effects Add-on to be active.

Mouse Helper Add-on

This add-on displays dynamic suggestions when the mouse hovers over various page objects.

Once the add-on is active, the "Mouse helper" section should appear in the Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > Mouse helper tab in WordPress dashboard menu panel. Here you can set the behavior of the mouse helper globally.


  • System cursor - This options allows you to replace system cursor with a custom image or hide it.

    • Default cursor image - Select or upload image to use it as default cursor.
    • Cursor image over links - Select or upload image to use it as cursor over links and buttons.
  • Show mouse helper - Display animated helper near the mouse cursor on desktop and notebooks.

    • Style - Select a style of the mouse helper.
    • Always visible - Display the mouse helper permanently or only when hovering over the corresponding object.
    • Centered - Place the center of the helper in the cursor position.
    • Delay - Specify the coefficient of lag between the helper and the cursor (1 - the helper moves with the cursor).

PLEASE NOTE! By default, the mouse helper inherits the theme colors. You can also override these color settings by the individual ones for a particular page section/object.

In case you want the mouse helper to display some special information for a definite page section or just change the cursor style over a specific section/element, you can proceed to the Elementor widgets panel, enable the mouse helper for a particular section/column/widget and specify additional settings (text, background image, icon, etc.) in the Advanced > Mouse Helper section.

Below you can find some clarifications of the basic options:

  • Cursor in the center - Place the center of the helper in the cursor position. By default, the helper is shifted to the right and down from the mouse cursor.
  • Magnet distance - Apply the effect of "sticking" or "anchoring" the page element (icon, button, etc.) to cursor, while the cursor is approaching a certain distance to this page element. Set the distance in px.
  • Overlay module - Select one of multiply and screen blend modules. This option uses standard CSS blending mode properties.
  • Motion axis - Specify the direction of helper's motion: vertical, horizontal or both.
  • Motion delay - Specify the coefficient of lag between the helper and the cursor (1 - the helper moves with the cursor).
  • Rotate text - Arrange the text in a circle inside a helper and rotate it.
  • Custom layout - Paste a shortcode of a prebuilt template (created using Elementor page builder) to display a compound helper.

Moreover, the Mouse Helper Add-on enhance some Elementor widgets (Title, Promo, etc.) with "Highlight on mouse hover" function, allowing you to make your titles unique. View on Hover

By default, an "image on hover" effect is imbedded into the following Elementor widgets. The image on hover is a featured image of a particular post.

  • Portfolio widget (ThemeREX Addons Extensions group) in "Simple" style;
  • Blogger widget (ThemeREX Addons Elements group) in Layout "List", Template "Simple (hover)";

PLEASE NOTE!Please also view our video tutorial about creating mouse helpers.

Secondary Image Add-on

This add-on is responsible for providing a possibility to upload a separate image that will be used as a hover for the existing image of a single post. Such hovers can be viewed on post type archive pages and in page sections that are built using the Elementor widgets, like Blogger, Services, Team, etc.

First of all you should specify the post types to which the secondary image functionality will be applied in the Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons > Secondary Image section.

Once this is done, open the back-end view of a single post from the selected post type and upload a hover image in the "Secondary Image" section. Please note, that this section is draggable.
