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.
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
