Upload Avas Theme

The theme files need to be uploaded before you can activate the theme for use. There are two ways you can do this, FTP upload or WordPress upload.

• If you are uploading via FTP upload, then you need to upload the unzipped folder “avas” to the /wp-content/themes folder of your WordPress installation.
• If you are uploading via WordPress upload, please go to WP Dashboard > Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme > Choose File. Select the zipped file “avas.zip” and then hit "Install Now". After installed the theme successfully you need to click "Activate" button to activate the theme.

We have provided a child theme package ready for you to use if you wish to make changes to files, while keeping them through updates. The child theme is included within the main download folder, and is named "avas-child.zip" all you need to do is extract and upload this into themes folder or add as new theme from admin panel, and then activate the child theme in Appearance > Themes from the WordPress menu.

style.css

We've include the child theme css file ready for you to add your own styles, if you'd prefer to do it here rather than in the custom css box within the theme options. If you are adding styles here, but aren't seeing them on the front end, try adding !important to the end of the declaration. This is sometimes needed to override the dynamic css styles that are generated from the theme options customisations.

functions.php

We've also included a child theme functions.php file, which you can use to add your own php functions, or override functions from the parent theme. If you'd like to do this, make sure you check out the developers documentation for the theme.

Warning: Please do not activate child theme while import demo.

After activate theme please go to Theme Options > License > enter yoru purchase code then click save button then click Register button.

How to Deregister Theme

If you wish to switch your domian or install the theme in another domain you need to deregister the purchase code from your existing domain first via Theme Options > License > Deregister.

For all those who prefer translation using files included in the theme we recommend using the .mo/.po files. Those files work in pairs, so for each language you need to have 2 files with the same name but a different extension. For example, if you want to translate into German language, your files would be de_DE.mo and de_DE.po

To edit these files you need to use Poedit an easy to use software application. Simply upload the files into Poedit, edit them and upload them into the"languages" folder included in the theme.

If you are having issues, please ensure that the solution isn't already covered in this documentation. If you read the documentation and can not find the answer to your issue, please send a message with as much information about the problem as possible at:
