Autozone Documentation

Autozone Documentation


Thank you very much for purchasing Autozone 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.We also provide paid services for custom working with the theme or installation . You can order it on services page .

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.

To create child theme and transfer all settings from the parent theme to the child theme , please use Child theme configurator .

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

If your changes are not critical and affect only the styles , and you do not have enough settings that come with our theme then you can use the yellow pencil for these purposes . More info about Yellow Pencill

Also you can use our paid service to hire our team and make your website according to your requirements .

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 our support forum .

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

You can build complex layouts based on these content elements within minutes, and without requiring a single line of code. Please check this video tutorial:

You can use these plugins with the autozone theme and you are fully compliant with the Envato’s policy, but you cannot activate them as the owner (so don’t try to use the autozone purchase code to activate one of these plugins).

When you purchase a theme from ThemeForest that bundles WPbakery and Revolution Slider, you are free to use these Premium plugins with the theme. However, your autozone purchase does not give you individual WPbakery and Revolution Slider licenses that allow you to activate or download these plugins as you wish. Activation doesn’t mean the plugin will not work but only that you cannot receive direct updates. Please don’t worry if you see warning messages about the plugin license activation.

To update you need:
