WordPress General
A working version of WordPress.org must be installed before you can install the Neoh. If you need help installing WordPress, follow the WordPress Codex
Before using any theme, it is important to understand how native WordPress functions work, and how to establish ownership of your new site.
WordPress links you will find useful:
WordPress Codex: General information about WordPress and how to install it on your server.
To use Neoh WordPress Theme, you must be running WordPress 4.9.5 or higher, PHP 5.6 or higher, Elementor Page Builder 2.0.3 or higher and mysql 5 or higher version. Below is a checklist of items your host needs to comply with to ensure proper Neoh operation:
Ensure your web host has the minimum requirements to run WordPress.
Make sure the latest version of WordPress is up and running.
If necessary, you can download the latest release of WordPress from the official WordPress website.
There are two methods to install the theme. If the normal installation method (a) is not supported by your web host, you will have to use the alternate option (b).
a) Normal Installation
Login to WordPress Admin and browse to Appearance > Themes.
Click on the Add New Theme (or "Install Themes" tab for older versions) and click Upload.
Browse your computer to select "neoh.zip" (it's in the zip file you downloaded from ThemeForest). Click "Install Now" button.
Once it's uploaded, click the Activate link.
b) FTP Installation (alternate method)
Use your FTP software to browse to wp-content/themes folder.
Upload the neoh folder.
Once it's uploaded, go to your WordPress Admin, browse to Appearance > Themes.
Click the Activate link.
Important: After activation, you will be presented with neoh-core plugin that you should activate. Do not forget to activate it or not all of the theme features will be available.
Note: If you are migration from a theme which used the native featured images functionality of WordPress. Please use the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to resize all the thumbnails. Click the link above and download the free plugin, and read through the steps it contains, it has all the information you need. Run it from Tools > Regen. Thumbnails.
Installation, Demo Import, RoadMap and NFT configurations
Demo Content Import
PHP Configuration limits
Issues you may encounter, such as demo content fails when importing and similar issues, are generally related to excessively low PHP configuration limit settings. You can either increase these limits on your own, or contact your web host and ask to have the limits increased to the following minimums:
memory_limit - 96M
max_input_vars - 3000
max_execution_time - 600
post_max_size - 32M
upload_max_filesize - 32M
allow_url_fopen - ON
Verify your PHP limits
You can check them by installing the WordPress phpinfo() plugin and checking Settings. The first column refers to your installation value, and the second column refers to the limits of your host. The latter values are often lower if you have selected a cheaper hosting package.
You can always contact your host to ask what the current settings are, and have them adjusted if necessary. Some hosts will try to keep PHP limits low to conserve resources. Since are paying for those resources, you should rightfully expect to be getting your money’s worth.
Demo Content Import (mannual)
We highly recommend against using this method in production. Please only use on an extra copy for testing or experimenting. This method most likely will fail on shared web hosts. Uncheck "import attachments" option if it fails and try again.
Install and activate all required plugins
Go to Tools > Import > WordPress, install WordPress Importer and run it
Select xml file from wpmain file and click Import Demo Data
Please be patience as it will take quite some time. Do not interrupt it.
Once it's done, go to Appearance > Menus > Manage Locations. Select "Main Menu" next to "Main Navigation".
Go to Edit Menus on the same page, select "Main Menu (Main Navigation)" from menus to edit and click Select
Setup your homepage to "Main Homepage" in Settings > Reading > Your homepage displays and select A static page
All Done.
Important: Please do not import content on a WordPress installation that already has a lot of content. Or the very least, make a backup first. A catastrophic mess can be created.
In some cases you would like to remove demo content. You can remove all posts, pages, etc using WordPress Reset plugin. Be aware that this plugin resets the WordPress database back to it's defaults. Deletes all customizations and content. It does not modify files only resets the database.
