Fitness | Responsive WordPress Theme Documentation

You need at least WordPress version 4.9+ installed for this theme to work properly. It is strongly recommended that you always use the latest stable version of Wordpress to ensure all known bugs and security issues are fixed. Other requirements:

  • PHP version 5.3 or greater. But for maximum speed, we recommend to use PHP version 7+.

2| Theme Installation

When you are ready to install a theme, you must first upload the theme files and then activate the theme itself. The theme files can be uploaded in two ways:

  • FTP Upload: Using your FTP client, upload the non-zipped theme folder into the /wp-content/themes/ folder on your server.
  • WordPress Upload: Navigate to Appearance -> Themes -> Add New -> Upload. Go to browse, and select the zipped theme folder. Hit "Install Now" and the theme will be uploaded and installed.

Once the theme is uploaded, you need to activate it. Go to Appearance -> Themes and activate your chosen theme.

After that you need to install and activate the following pre-packaged plugins:

  1. Fitness Core: Required and must install plugin.
  2. RT Framework: Required and must install plugin.
  3. Redux Framework: Required and must install plugin.
  4. Breadcrumb NavXT: Required and must install plugin.

N.B: All plugins must be installed and activated if you want your site to look exactly like demo.

To install these plugins, navigate to Appearance -> Install Plugins and start installation.

3| Importing Demo contents

Want to build your site like the demo? You can do it by only one click!

** Note: Before proceeding, please remember that when you are done with the demo import, all existing settings and contents will be removed and replaced by the demo contents. So it is highly recommended that you should only do this in fresh site. **

First please make sure that Fitness Parent Theme is activated on your site.

From Admin menu, navigate to Tools -> Demo Content Install. Or alternatively, navigate to Plugins -> RT Demo Importer -> Install Demo Contents.

In this page, Click on the Install button for installing the demo.

It will take some time for importing the demo contents. Please note: Some images are replaced with a placeholder image because of licensing.

We are using plugin "Contact Form 7" for contact functionality. You can see their documentation for better understanding.

If you don't want to go through all the troubles to check their documentation and just want to use the default contact form we provided with this theme, please at least set up the default emails in contact form settings. (Because if you don't do that, all form submission emails will come to us instead of you). To do that, please follow the steps below:

Step 1: Navigate to Contact, and then click on Contact form 1 link.

Step 2: From this page, click on Mail tab. Here you should set your own email address where you want to receive user submitted forms. Then click on save button.

Step 3: Please submit some dummy forms from Contact page to make sure that it's working properly.

18.3| Translating Theme

You can translate this theme to another language easily. You actually have to translate two things for your website to work properly: "Fitness" theme and "Fitness Core" plugin. This plugin plays a major role in theme functionality, so if you don't translate this plugin along with the theme you can't be able to get the full translation.

There are many tools available for translation. But the easiest way is to use plugin "Loco Translate". Using this plugin, you can literally translate any WordPress themes or plugins if it supports translation.

** Note: Please remember, if you update the theme later your translations might be gone if they are stored inside theme/plugin. So please keep a backup of Fitness theme and Fitness Core plugin first before updating theme. **

Here's a quick video tutorial about how to use Loco Translate:
