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!

To install this theme you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. Below are some useful links regarding WordPress information.
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:
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:
lunna.zip
file and ONLY use the extracted /lunna
theme folder.
lunna
theme folder into /wp-content/themes
.
lunna.zip
folder and click Install Now button.
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!
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.
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:
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
upload_max_filesize
to 80M
.wp-content/themes
directory.memory_limit
. You can increase memory_limit
on your server in several ways, namely by editing:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');
memory_limit = 128M;
php_value memory_limit 128M;
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.
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);
max_execution_time 600
memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 32M
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.
/wp-content/themes
.
themes
folder.

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

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:
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.

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:
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.
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.
PLEASE NOTE! We have used additional CSS classes to make the page blocks look like on our demo.

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.
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:
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.
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:
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:
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Inserts an icon and two text lines. It is possible to add a URL to the icon.
Inserts content in different ways, depending on the type of the layout:
Select which type of the layout to use in the layouts widget's content settings.

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.
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:
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.
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:
Direction of the menu items: Horizontal or Vertical.
Specify default behavior for a responsive menu in the Content tab:
Displays elements from meta data of the current post (categories, post author, post date, post counters, share links, edit link).
Adds a search button/input field. There are 2 layouts (default and modern) available and 3 styles for default layout:
Displays a title and breadcrumbs of the currently opened page/post.
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.
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.

The header menu can be customized in Appearance > Menus > Edit Menus or Appearance > Customize > Menus.
In case no logo is selected in the Elementor "Layouts: Logo" widget, the initial logo from the Appearance > Customize > Logo & Site Identity will be used.
Menu icons on our demos:
The background color/image for the header sections can be set or managed in Edit Section/Column > Style > Background/Background Overlay in the Elementor editor.
Otherwise, the background color for the sections can be inherited from the color scheme, specified in Edit Section > Advanced > Advanced > Theme-specific params. The color scheme is set in the Appearance > Customize > Colors section (with Advanced mode).
.header_fullscreen
stretches the height of the background image or video to the window's height.
The footer menu can be customized in Appearance > Menus > Edit Menus or Appearance > Customize > Menus.

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

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.

Create Layouts setting is responsible for recreating the set of predefined layouts. It might become useful in case there are no layouts available after theme installation.
Advanced theme add-ons enhance the functionality of a WordPress theme. They come prepacked with the theme and require ThemeREX Addons plug-in to be active.
Once you have activated your theme (entered your purchase code), please navigate to the Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > Theme Dashboard > Addons tab and make sure that all advanced add-ons, provided with the theme, are active. 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.
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:
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.
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.

) over a background text line to add a "texture" effect to it.
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.
This add-on adds modern image hover effects, based on OpenGL and curtains.js
library. The image hover effects work for screen resolutions 1280px

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.
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.
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.

Our theme is fully compatible with an extremely powerful Revolution Slider plug-in. It allows you to create an unlimited number of sliders and set anywhere you want on the page within the necessary widget. Please view our article for more information about revolution slider customization.

Below is an example of the Revolution Slider's main page back-end (default slider style with slides):
Custom CSS code is specified in Module General Options > CSS/jQuery section.
The Revolution slider also allows you to use the images from the already created website elements like posts/pages as well as from social profiles streams, etc. This method also preserves adding the needed information (text/buttons) or effects via slider layers. Such images can be specified in Slider Settings. Just open a particular slider, navigate to "Module General Options" tab (gear icon) and set the required parameters in the Content section.
You can add sliders to your page using elements in Elementor Page Builder. Insert either the Revolution Slider widget (WordPress group) or Slider widget (ThemeREX Addons Elements group) to the page and choose slider engine - Slider Revoluion. You can also use a shortcode, like [rev_slider alias="personal-portfolio"][/rev_slider]
.
You can also add Slider Revolution via widgets and place the slider not only in the header of the page (might vary, depending on default sidebars locations available for a particular theme).
Please note! In case you do not have a slider set up (but the Revolution Slider plug-in is already installed), you need to create it first and fill with slides by navigating to Slider Revolution tab in the WP Dashboard side menu.
This is our self-made plug-in that allows you to update the main theme as well as the bundled plug-ins through the WordPress admin panel. Once any plug-ins or theme updates are available for download, you will receive a corresponding notice in WP Dashboard > Updates. Please view the Theme Update chapter of this documentation file for more information.
This plug-in offers a chance to your web-site visitors to add the products they consider interesting to the wishlist and buy the products later. The customers can share such wishlists through social networks. Sharing the wishlists will bring you new potential customers and enhance the sales. You can also use a shortcode for “Add to wishlist” button and place it anywhere on the page.
