Socify Documentation

Thank you very much for purchasing our socifyt WordPress Theme. We’ve put a lot of hard work into it, and we hope you love it as much as we do. As far as the documentation is concerned, we have tried to cover as much as possible to help you get your new template up and running and to help you customise it.

BEFORE YOU START CUSTOMIZING

If you plan to make some modifications to the code of the theme, will be better to make them via the child theme. If you make modifications directly to the parent theme, you will lose them when the theme is updated. When you make modifications inside of the child theme instead, you can update the parent theme without losing any change you have made.

Child theme you’ll find in a “socifyt-child.zip”.

More information about child themes you can find in WordPress Codex- Child_Themes.

Install Theme

To install this theme it is essential to have a working version of WordPress already installed. For the information about WordPress platform installing, please see the WordPress Codex. After you download the “socifyt.zip” file from Themeforest you will have all the necessary files . Then you should extract the “socifyt.zip” file and you will find the theme zip file called “socifyt.zip”inside. You need to install this file.

Import troubleshooting

Many issues that you may run into such as; white screen, demo content fails when importing, empty page and other similar issues are all related to low PHP configuration limits.

If you cannot change these settings, use the next migration method .

The solution is to increase the PHP limits.

You can do this on your own .

Find the php.ini file in your Server config files.
For WAMP, its in apache2/bin/apache2.2.22/bin/php.ini
Go to the line “max_execution_time=30” .
Change it to 360 or any other large value.

Or contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows

max_execution_time 360
memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 32M

Auto-Updating

The Envato Market plugin can install WordPress themes and plugins purchased from ThemeForest & CodeCanyon by connecting with the Envato Market API using a secure OAuth personal token. Once your themes & plugins are installed WordPress will periodically check for updates, so keeping your items up to date is as simple as a few clicks.

You can add a global token to connect all your items from your account, and/or connect directly with a specific item using a singe-use token & item ID. When the global token and single-use token are set for the same item, the single-use token will be used to communicate with the API.

Manual Updating

You can update your theme manually by performing the following steps:

Download the latest theme zip file from ThemeForest
Extract it and locate socifyt.zip
Extract socifyt.zip and locate the socifyt folder
Copy/Replace content of the socifyt folder to the /wp-content/themes/socifyt folder of your web site.
