What's Included

After purchasing the Fixton theme on ThemeForest with your Envato account, go to your Downloads page. From there, you can choose to download either the installable WordPress theme file (ready for direct upload) or the complete Fixton theme package.

fixton.zip : Installable WordPress theme file.
fixton-child.zip : Child theme with a readme.txt note about usage.
bundled-plugins : Contains required plugins for the theme.
sample-data : Demo content for importing sample layouts.
licensing : Terms and conditions of the license.
documentation-link.txt : Link to the online Fixton documentation.

Theme Installation

Important: If you download the full package from ThemeForest and try to upload it directly to WordPress, you may encounter the following error: “The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.” To avoid this, make sure you extract the package first and upload the correct installable theme file (fixton.zip) to WordPress.

Please follow the instructions in the video to learn how to install WordPress on your hosting.

Server Requirements: https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/handbook/handbook/server-environment

Please follow the steps as shown in the images below.

From the dashboard go to Appearance Themes Add New Upload Theme
Click on “Choose File” and select fixton.zip
Click on “Install Now”
Active the Theme

Using FTP Clients:

Follow these steps to upload your theme using an FTP client:

Use an FTP client, such as FileZilla, to access your WordPress installation directory.
Navigate to the /wp-content/themes/ folder and upload the extracted Fixton theme folder.
Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard and go to Appearance Themes
Locate the Fixton Theme in the list of available themes and click Activate to complete the installation.

Child Theme

Our theme is fully child-theme compatible. A basic child theme is included in the download package, containing only the minimum required files. If you plan to make any code customizations, we highly recommend doing so within the child theme to ensure your changes are preserved during theme updates. Learn more about child themes here.

Plugin Installation

After installing the theme, you need to install and activate all required plugins.

Importing Demo Contents

We provide two methods for importing demo content: Automatic and Manual. You can choose to follow either method.

Automatic (Recommended): This method will remove all existing data, so it should only be used on a fresh website. It is faster because the import process requires just one click, after which everything is handled automatically. If you want an exact replica of the demo website without performing any manual configuration after importing the data, this method is the most suitable option.
Manual: Use this method only if the automatic demo import fails or if you already have a working website with existing content (e.g., posts, pages, etc.).

Automatic Import:

Important: Before proceeding, please note that completing the demo import will remove all existing settings and content, replacing them with the demo content. Therefore, it is highly recommended to perform this process only on a fresh site.

Ensure that the Fixton Parent Theme is activated on your site.
From the WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance Install Theme Demos Import Demo

There are many tools available for translation, but the easiest method is to use the Loco Translate plugin. With this plugin, you can translate any WordPress theme or plugin that supports translations.

Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to translate any theme or plugin using Loco Translate:

Install and activate plugin "Loco Translate".
Select the Theme or Plugin you want to translate from "Loco Translate" menu
Theme Translate { Fixton }
Plugin Translate { TS Fixton Core }
Click on New language link
Select your preferred language, and also select your location as "System". Then click on "Start Translating" button.

Updating Theme:

We recommend that you use the Envato Market plugin to keep the theme up-to-date.

Navigate to Plugins Add New
From WordPress Admin Panel, navigate to "Envato Market" menu.
In this page, you'll find a field for Inserting Envato Token. Insert your Envato Token Code from there. You can generate this code from this link: https://build.envato.com/create-token/?purchase:download=t&purchase:verify=t&purchase:list=t .
Remember, while generating the token, you have to login using the same envato id which you used to purchase theme.
After completed the above steps successfully, Navigate to Appearance Themes. Here you'll see an "Update now" link beside your theme. Click on that link and your theme will be updated automatically

Here's a quick video tutorial explaining this method:
