With your purchase of this theme, the first step is to download the package from ThemeForest. Move your mouse over your ThemeForest Login name in the right top corner and click Download. You will see the number of items purchased, along with the package’s content, as shown in the following diagrams.
Next, click Download > Main File(s) next to BeTheme and save the package on your computer.

The Second part of this guide describes how to update BeTheme. When first installing BeTheme, make sure that you don’t make any changes in the files. If you have, and you don`t want to lose them, the best way save them is to use a freeware tool for comparing files, Beyond Compare for example (How to use it can be found on their website). After comparing files, you can then upload only those files that haven’t been changed.
If you haven`t changed any theme files, all you need to do to update your current version is to download the latest package from ThemeForest, unpack the files, and upload the new files on the server while replacing the old files by overwriting them.
All your data is safe becausetheme file updates do not change anything in the database. It is still recommended to always make a backup of your files & database.
IMPORTANT!!! After theme installation, you will see a box with information about required and optional plugins. To install and activate them, navigate to Appearance > Install Plugins and install only those plugins that are required, or are optional but necessary.

In this ThemeForest download youw ill find the revolution-slider-demo folder with its many .zip files featuring different sliders for different home pages.
On the list of available sliders, in the right bottom section you will see "Import Slider" button. All you need to do to upload a slider is choose the appropriate .zip file from the revolution-slider-demo folder, and click on the "Import Slider" button.
For more details about demo slider import please check slider's documentation where everything in 'step by step' instruction was explained.
After pressing the "Create New Slider" button you will be presented with a form asking you to enter a Slider Title (used for the Slider overview in the backend) and a Slider Alias (a slug used to implement the Slider in your WP later, so keep it simple and without spaces or special chars).
You are also prompted to enter the Sliders Basic Settings, a Slider Title (for you to remember the Slider by) and a Slider Alias (do not use special characters or spaces here, this defines the shortcode for you to use in your content). The options in the boxes on the right side (General Settings, Position, Appearance, Navigation, Thumbnails) present useful tool tips on mouse over, so they are not explained here.
The Slider Type can be fixed (not responsive, fix dimensions), responsive (changes depending on the size of its max. sizes given later in relation to the screen size) or full-width (always 100% in width of the screen size, but height keeping the aspect ratio).
The Sizes section is needed to fit the slider into the specified screen sizes. The height of the slider will always be calculated to keep the correct max width and height aspect ratio.
The next step is creating/editing slides. Click on "Edit Slides" in the Slider Form window. Press "New Slide" and the native WP Media Upload dialog window will appear. Choose or Upload the slide's background image, select "Full Size" and then "Insert Into Post" (just like in your WP editor). You can always click on the pic to change it.
Use the arrow handles on the right side to change the slides position in the slider (top to bottom = first to last slide to be shown), or delete it with the "Delete" button.
The "Edit Slide" leads you to the next chapter "Slide".
In the "Edit Slide" " view you arrive at the heart of our plugin. The Drag & Drop Caption editor.
Note:You still have an opportunity to change the background image with the "Change Image" button.
To create a Layer (Caption, Image or Video), press the "Add Layer" or "Add Layer: Image". button. When you have a text layer, a basic layer will be created you can use the "Text" field in the Layer Params to change the caption. The "Style" select box shows some basic styles (CSS classes) you can use to style the caption (you can always add your own CSS classes to this field or edit the existing ones via the "Edit CSS File").
In case of an Image Layer you will see the native WP Media Uploader again. In case of a Video Layer you will prompted to a custom Video selection wizard.
When you have an Image Layer, you will again see the native WP Media Uploader. If you have a Video Layer, you will prompted to a custom Video selection wizard.
You now can move the Layers around via Drag & Drop or enter the x and y coordinate in the corresponding fields.
The "Layers Sorting" drag & drop list determines the Layers' z-index. This list specifies the stack order of an element.
An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order.
Note that slider is a plugin, and the documentation is located in the documentation/revolution-slider-documentation folder in the ThemeForest package.
Remember to set up chmod on 777 on below folders listed below to show slider thumbnails,andmake it possible to edit CSS styles for slider in the admin panel.

You can also Reset settings to default to make your theme look like the one on our demo version.
To create a blog, you first need to create a new page Pages > Add New and set up the title eg. Blog. In the Template field, leave the default option on Default Template. In the bottom section you will find Page options such as Layout and Sidebar. You can choose whether your blog should be on full width or with a left or right sidebar. You can also add a video for each post. In the Post option section, under the Visual/HTML default editor. There are several options to set. You can set up a Vimeo or YouTube video.
When you are finished, click the Publish button on the right.
For the next step, go Settings > Reading > Front page displays > A static page > Posts page, select page that you have created and click Save changes.
We have created several features specifically for bloggers. You will find them in Theme options panel > Blog, Portfolio & Shop > Blog. These options are set on default for each new post. Full descriptions of these blog options can be found in the Theme Options
Adding new posts works similar to standard WordPress Posts > Add New. Posts will be displayed on the newly-created page.
Images for posts are added using a featured image.
With the latest version, you can use Muffin Builder inside blog posts. You can still use WordPress' default editor, but if you wish to create something advanced, use Muffin Builder. Muffin Builder features a wide variety of useful options.
With this version we also created 4 posts formats: Standard Horizontal Image, Vertical Image, Quote, Video and Link.
For more information about creating posts, go to http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/.You can also check the video on how to create a post at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa4uimrgNz8
To create a portfolio please start by creating a new page Pages > Add New and setting up the title eg. Portfolio. In the Template field set the option Portfolio template. In the bottom section you will find Page options such as Layout and Sidebar. You can then select whether your portfolio should be in full width or with a left or right sidebar.
In Portfolio section you can also add videos from Vimeo or Youtube or even upload own videos in mp4 format for each portfolio item. Don’t forget to set up a featured image for a portfolio item when adding a video.
We have created several options for the Portfolio page. You can find them in Theme options panel > Blog, Portfolio & Shop > Portfolio. Additional information about these options can be found in Theme options panel.
Porfolio items are similar to those in a typical post. To add a new portfolio, go to Portfolio > Add new. As you can see, the options are similar to those for a blog. In the bottom section of the page you will find Page options, where you can choose whether you want a full width portfolio or the one with a left or right sidebar.
You can also type Excerpt and select Featured image. When finished, click the Publish button.
BeTheme features a number of new Portfolio options.It is now possible to create the entire portfolio content with Muffin Builder . It works the same way as for standard pages. Muffin Builder provides a number of valuable options, among them SEO fields, slider, sidebars and others.
Menu creation works as in default Wordpress.
To add your own menus go to Appearance > Menus, type Name for your menu and click Create Menu.Then, in Theme Locations for position Main menu you need to choose a menu that you’ve just created.
Now you can add Pages, Posts and Custom Links from blocks located on the left. You need to save everything by clicking on Save Menu.
If you want to add special items or features to a menu such as portfolio categories, posts categories, classes for links,etc, click on the "Screen options" button in the right top corner to find additional menu item options.
For more information on creating a menu, go to http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus
This theme also features a Mega Menu option, allowing you to create attractive menuswith items in columns, with ot without titles.
To create a mega menu on your website, you have to add Custom Links to your menu. Make sure that you are in Appearance > Menus tab before you start. Navigate left where you can see the custom links tab. When you click on it, it will show two fields, type a "#" in the first field and your preferred menu item name in the second field called: Link text. Click Add to Menu.
We type a "#" to make the main link not clickable, you can also type in any URL there.
The new menu item will show up on the right, click it to see more options. The most important thing to check is the Activate Mega Menu option, remember to have it enabled.
When your main menu item is ready we can get to creating the mega menu columns, to do that just add another custom link, again with the "#" as the link and in the link text field type a "-". Click add to Menu
Drag the created menu item under your previously created main menu item but set it as a subitem. To do that just move it to the right, just as you would while creating a normal menu.
If you did everything right the name of the submenu item should change from "-" to "- sub item". This is your column. Now you can add your pages under the column and they will appear on the site under each other.
To create another column just repeat the last step and set the sub item under the previous one.
For a better understanding of the placement of the menu items look at the image on the right.
If you create a one-page website or you want to use links with hashtags around a page, you need to create links with hashtags "#". For example, if your website is http://website.com, and on this page you want to create links with hashtags for sections go to the Appearance > Menus section where you need to create links like http://website.com#section1
For sections where you want links, you must type in the correct Custom ID which must have the same as that after the # in the link. In this case, Custom ID must be section1. Custom ID can be set up as a "Section" item inside Muffin Builder.
If you want to get smooth scroll effect for the menu items, you need to select the correct CSS Classes field for each menu item affected. To do that, go to Appearance > Menus section, click the "Screen Options" button, and check the "CSS Classes" field. Under each menu item you should see "CSS Classes" field. where you must enter the scroll value. You will then get the desired scrolling effect for each menu item for which you entered a scroll value.
The only difference between the OLD and NEW method is that you don`t need to set up a scroll class for menu items. Everything else works the same. Instead of the scroll class, you need to turn ON the One Page option in Page options section while creating or editing a page.
We recommend the NEW method, as it is much faster to use and scrolling is smoother.
BeTheme is fully compatible with the WooCommerce plugin. We carefully designed BeTheme so you can build a nice shop that is loaded with options, and one that is perfect in appearance. Since WooCommerce is an external plugin, you will find any information you may need about it in the WooCommerce author’s page. Here are several useful links:
First go to Plugins > Add new section and type "WooCommerce" into search field. Then click "Search Plugins" button.
Once that is done, and you see the result, click on the"Install now" button next to "WooCommerce - excelling eCommerce" plugin.
Once WooCommerce is installed, click on the "Activate plugin" link.
In a few moments you will see a WooCommerce Purple Notification Bar at the top of the plugin page. Clicking the Install WooCommmerce Pages button in the purple bar will install all the default pages.
Please Note: Once you are done installing WooComerce and the default pages, you can go to the Appearance > Menu section of your admin and add all the WooCommerce pages to your menu. They will be listed at the top under the most recent pages.
Go to Products > Add product section. You will see a page that looks like the one below.All you need to do is fill those fields with your own values.
Information about adding a new product will be found at on http://docs.woothemes.com/document/managing-products/
The pages you need for WooCommerce are in WooCommerce > Settings > Catalog section. If you want shortcodes for pages like cart or checkout you need go to WooCommerce > Settings > Pages section. (Most WooCommerce pages must be created manually.That’s why for each one you need a shortcode).
To locate the full listing of WooCommerce plugin shortcodes go to http://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/
For a list of all the available pages for the WooCommerce plugin,go to http://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-pages/
For all those who prefer translation using files included in the theme we recommend using the .mo/.po files. Those files work in pairs, so for each language you need to have 2 files with the same name but a different extension. For example, if you want to translate into German language, your files would be de_DE.mo and de_DE.po
To edit these files you need to use Poedit an easy to use software application. Simply upload the files into Poedit, edit them and upload them into the"languages" folder included in the theme.
If you don`t want to bother with the above files and would prefer to use an easier and faster way to translate your theme, we recommend using our built-in translator, which you will find in Theme options > Translate section.
BeTheme has been thoroughly tested, and is fully compatible with the WPML plugin. If you want a multilingual website, this is the best way to do it. If you want to use this plugin however, you must purchase it first, and install it into your WordPress platform. The following links contain useful WPML plugin information.
Footer is divided into 3 different sections:Call to action, Widgets and Copyright & Social icons. This screenshot illustrates how these sections are presented:
Check developers and contractors specialized in WPML and BeTheme
We included 9 custom widgets but in total there are 33 different widgets available. To access them, all you need to do is to drag any available widget and drop into the correct sidebar. If you prefer to create your own sidebar, navigate to Appearance > BeTheme Options > Sidebars and you can create as many sidebars as you need.You can then go back to the Appearance > Widgets section and continue to move widgets into new sidebars.
These extra sections are designed to help you with several other items that can be important when creating a website.
BeTheme is fully Retina Ready. Images can have two different sizes - a standard image for most screens, and a second image for devices with HQ screens like Retina.
For logos, there is an additional field in the BeTheme options > Global > Logo section, where you can upload a standard logo and a retina logo that must be 2x larger than the standard image.
The same applies to all other images if you want to get perfect looking images on Retina screens. If for example you build a website where you upload regular images into Content or Muffin Builder, you must always upload 2 images in Media > Add new section as shown below:
my_image.png - this is the name for standard image
[email protected] - this is the example name for retina image and file must be always 2x larger than regular image
As you can see, the second file( for retina) must have an @ 2x additional name for the file.
If you upload all images twice as shown here, your entire website will feature perfect images on all the standard devices.
In response to what is constantly transpiring in the search engine world (especially Google) we added the SEO option to our theme.
To set up general options for SEO, go to BeTheme options > SEO where you can introduce features like Meta Description or Meta Keywords for homepage (this is also the default option for each new page).
If you are using external SEO plugin you can easily turn it off.
You can also set up options like Title, Meta Description and Meta Keywords for individual page by going Pages > Add page > Page options.
In the Page Options, Post Options & Portfolio Item Options you can find fields like SEO Title, SEO Description and SEO Keywords fields. If you fill those fields, your page will adopt those parameters. If you leave the fields empty, the pages will adopt the default values under BeTheme options > SEO.
You can contact us in several ways, depending on your needs.
There is no other way contact us, so please don`t attempt to contact us through YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter. Your question could easily get lost in these communication channels.
Sometimes you may occasionally encounter a moment when you want to change something on your site that is not available in theme options panel. , e.g., font size, color, margin, or some other customization. You don`t have to contact us and wait for a response. With BeTheme, you can easily do it on your own.
To do so, you can use two free, highly useful tools that are available on your web browser. If you`re using Google Chrome you can inspect element that you need to change by "Inspect element". Simply hover your mouse on the element and click "Inspect element". After that, you`ll see something like the image below.
As you can see, on the left side there is a list of styles used for each class/id. If you want to change something, you can edit it on the screen and see what the elements will look like. If everything looks good, and you want to make the same changes on your site, just copy the corrected styles from the box on the side, for example:
#weekly-features .inner-border {
height: 80px;
padding: 20px;
}
and paste this code into: Theme options > Styles > Custom CSS section.
Apart from Google Chrome, we suggest using Firebug for Firefox. In contrast to Google Chrome, Firebug must first be installed before you can use it. To do so click Firefox in the left top corner > Add-ons search for Firebug, and install it. Once it is in your browser you can use it the same way as Google Chrome, but instead of clicking "Inspect element" click "Inspect element with Firebug". On the screen below you will see that it looks very similar to Inspect Element in Google Chrome.
As you can see on the image, on the left side there is a list of styles used for each class/id. If you want to change anything you can edit it on the screen and check what the elements look like. If everything is good, and you want to make the same changes on your site, simply copy the correct styles from for the box
#weekly-features .inner-border {
height: 80px;
padding: 20px;
}
and paste this code into: Theme options > Styles > Custom CSS code. If you want to paste this code instead of Custom CSS code you can do it in style.css file. The result will be identical.
As you can see, it`s not difficult to use either tool and you can save a lot of time.
If you have not as yet chosen a host, or your present host is underperforming, we recommend Hostgator. We have fully tested our themes with this hosting and we have found its performance to be excellent, including fast response time, Hostgatorhas a special offer for our customers.You can get great VPS hosting for 50% OFF. by clicking on banner below. Enjoy!
We have noticed that some of our customers have experienced problems with page speed because of two important theme files - style.php and style-colors.php. These two files are responsible for most styles and colors on a page. They contain functions that are CSS from the database, but they use the .php extension because this is the only way to load colors directly from the muffin options/database. If however, you have finished your website and do not wish to change colors/styles from the panel, you can switch from .php files to .css files and your page speed will improve.
After those changes, instead of .php files it will be used only one file called style-static.css and in some cases it should improve page speed.
UPDATE!!!
Since version 9.6, all styles are loading in the header. So if you want to activate static styles, you need to copy the styles directly from the header (on the screenshot below we present where this code is located) into the style-static.css file.
In BeTheme Version 4.0, we added Visual Composer for those who prefer working with this plugin. To activate the VC plugin following theme installation, go to Appearance > Install Plugins section, install it, and activate it. The plugin will then be ready to use.
Plugin installation following theme activation is available in the same section where the default WordPress editor is visible. In the create/edit page above the WordPress editor you will see two large, blue buttons called Backend Editor and Frontend Editor. These are exactly what you need to build content within Visual Composer.
To explore the capabilities of Visual Composer, we recommend you study the documentation and watch the video below:
Since the release of version 6.0, it is possible to transform the Muffin-branded panel to a white label. Selecting this option removes our logos, Muffin texts, and links. To transform the Muffin Options panel to white label configuration, open functions.php file on your FTP and replace the following part of the code:
define( 'WHITE_LABEL', false );
with:
define( 'WHITE_LABEL', true );
3.3 Social icons
To set up social icons, right top corner, navigate Appearance > BeTheme Options > Social > Social Icons and set up links for social profiles.
Please Note: Each external link should always start with https://
