13. How to use the child theme

WordPress themes also follow a similar path, and that is why the mechanism of child themes was built. Actually, child themes are the recommended way of making modifications to a theme ( the parent ).

If you want to change something about the theme you’re using (change something within its source files, that is), then you should do it through a child theme.

The whole idea of a child theme is that you can modify, and add to the functionality of that parent theme without modifying it directly. The parent remains intact, everything is built into the child theme.

A child theme consists of at least one directory (the child theme directory) and two files (style.css and functions.php), which you will need to create:

1. The child theme directory
2. style.css
3. functions.php

➽  How to use the child theme

Step 2: Just copy and paste any of them, and then rename it with the new skin name you’re about to be added.

Step 3: Then you shall edit the “style.css” of new custom skin you’ve replicated. (Just like the images, color, background and border color hex codes with your new custom skin color as needed).

Step 4: Now you can find you new custom skin folder (created) on your Dashboard > Appearance > Designtheme Option > Skins. Finally you can choose your new custom skin from that settings and click save changes.

19. How To Update The Premium Plugins

Please note that DesignThemes – Themes does include updates for our Premium Sliders (Revolution Slider and Layer Slider), however, this does not mean that you will receive an individual license for these Premium Sliders. Due to Envato’s licensing rules, we can only issue updates for these plugins when we issue a theme update. Please continue reading below for further information on the process of how these updates are given.

Premium Sliders Update Process

When you purchase a theme that bundles Revolution Slider and Layer Slider, such as DesignThemes – Themes, you get to use these Premium Sliders with the theme. However, your purchase of DesignThemes – Themes does not give you an individual license for the Revolution Slider and Layer Slider to use or download as you wish.

Due to license rules, we can only issue new plugin updates when we issue new theme updates. So anytime DesignThemes – Themes is updated, the latest plugin for the Revolution Slider and Layer Slider will be included. This is according to the licensing rules enforced by Envato, and is something out of our control and must abide by.

In addition, this also ensures that we fully test the plugin to make sure there are no critical bugs that will conflict with our own update. This is a benefit that we also test any version we give with our theme before our customers get it.

How To Get Auto Plugin Updates

Due to the license rules stated above, the only way to get automatic plugin updates is to purchase the plugins individually through CodeCanyon.

Send us a message through the right bottom form @ http://themeforest.net/user/designthemes so that we will send you the latest plugin updates

27. How to Moving Your WordPress Site to a New Domain

Prepare for the worst

You need to create a full backup of your current site. So you need to download all the content on your hosting servers for your site. This serves two purposes:

1. You need a copy of the site to move – Eventually, you’ll need to upload the site’s contents to your new domain. You literally have to backup your site.
2. It protects you from accidents – If you mess something up, you can always restore your original site with your backup copy.

The confusing part is knowing what you need to backup. For most sites (all WordPress sites), you’ll need to make a copy of two parts:

• the database(s)
• the (static) files

To download both of these parts, you have a few different options.

Option #1 – Use a plugin (BackupBuddy)

BackupBuddy is good for backing up your site. You can also try other free WordPress backup plugins

Option #2 – Use Cpanel’s backup functionality

If you have access to Cpanel, it’s also pretty easy to make a backup.

1. Log in to your Cpanel, and look for “Database Wizard” under the “files” section of the main dashboard. From there, just follow the three simple steps.
2. First, choose “backup”
3. Next, you’ll have to choose what kind of backup you want to make.
4. Don’t make a full backup, the reason you don’t want to make a full backup is because you can’t restore a full backup later on. Instead, you’ll have to make a few “partial backups.”
5. You’ll need both the “home directory”, and the “MySQL databases,” which are your databases.
6. Click either one of those, which will load the third step. Click the download button to download a copy, then click “go back,” and do the same for the other part of your partial backup.

Option #3 – Do it the hard way (manually):

Manual backing up is a bit harder but still not too complicated if you follow these steps.

1. First, let’s start by backing up your databases.
2. In whatever hosting panel you have, there should be a link for “phpMyAdmin”
3. Start by selecting the “Databases” menu option at the top.
4. The menu will show you a list of databases (if you have more than one).
5. You’ll need to pick the ones used by the site you’re moving.
6. After you do, you’ll see a list of all the tables it contains.
7. List of tables contains “wp_posts” contains your posts’ text, while “wp_comments” contains the text of all the comments.
8. Select the “check all” button at the bottom, then select “Export” in the dropdown menu right beside it.
9. Finally, choose the “Quick” export method, leaving the format as “SQL.” Click “Go,” and the download will automatically begin. Next, you need to back up your static files.
10. You can use FileZilla (free) FTP program, to transfer the files from your web server to your own server (your computer).

Note : Make sure you have the latest version of the plugin “Responsive Styled Google Maps” plugin installed in your site. Also wherever we have mentioned “Designthemes” it refers to the theme name (like Veda, Priority, Kids-world, Spalab, etc)

As of June 2016, Google has issued a new update to the Google Maps APIs Standard Plan. In the new update, Google no longer supports keyless access (any request that doesn’t include an API Key) and has made all future product updates only available for requests made with an API Key.

How To Generate An API Key

For your Google Maps to display on your page, you now need to use the Google Maps JavaScript API key. To generate a new API key, please click the link below for Google’s ‘Get A Key/Authentication’ article. Please read it carefully as there are different methods for Standard API users and Premium Plan users.

Where To Add API Key

Capture the API Key that’s generated and add it to the plugin field in your WordPress Admin (Dashboard) > Settings > Responsive Styled Google Maps helper   on the Responsive Styled Google Maps page (a new field at the top).

Now change the address of the map as per your needs and copy the shortcode from the map generator and paste it in the contact page or any page that you need. Please make sure that your copied shortcode has the api key added at the bottom as shown in this screenshot.

How to Update other maps in theme pages?

In some of our themes like Real Property, Trendy Travel, Real Estate, etc will have google maps in the page like property, places details etc., In such cases you need to update the API key from the theme options from Dashboard > Designthemes  > General > Others > Google Map Api Key

If you are using Ultimate Addon Modules for Google Map, then you need to put your Google Map API key into your WordPress Admin (Dashboard) > Ultimate > Google Maps > API Key > then click Save change button to save the changes.
