Thank you for purchasing our Gillion WordPress theme.
You have arrived at the right place to get started with your brand-new theme.

License

ThemeForest regular theme license is meant to be activated for one single website at a time. A license can be moved from one website to another website. Licenses can be also used in the WordPress multisite setup but will be valid only for one of the chosen multisite sites.

Installation

First of all, you will need a working WordPress installation. To install WordPress CMS, please see the WordPress Codex. If you are new to WordPress, the following links can help later on the road:

Server requirements

Our theme core functionality requires at least WordPress 5.2 and PHP 5.6.20. However, newer WordPress and PHP versions are recommended to deliver the best results. For example – the newer PHP versions offer significant page loading speed improvements.

• Step 1 – Open Gillion dashboard and click on Install Plugins

• Step 2 – Select all the required plugins as well as some optional ones, such as One Click Demo Import (needed for demo content installation), WooCommerce (required if you plan to include a shop in your website), Slider Revolution (allows you to create advanced slides) and Contact Form 7 (needed to create contact forms)

• Step 3 – Click on Bulk Actions, choose Install, and click on Apply

• Step 4 – The plugins have finished installing once you see All installations and activations have been completed

Demo Content Installation

After the theme installation, activation, and plugin installation – it is finally time to install some demo content.

The installation is very simple – you just need to figure out which demo content you would like to install. For the best experience, it is recommended that your WordPress installation is fresh with little to no content. But you can definitely install demo content if you already have added some content to your website. Such a scenario won’t replace or delete your existing content. Instead, some media might be skipped if it matches the one being installed.

To import demo content, please follow these steps:

• Step 1 – Navigate to Gillion dashboard and click on Import Demo
• Step 2 – Choose the demo you would like to import and click Import Demo

• Step 3 – Make sure that the required plugins are already installed, or check the ones missing. Then click on Continue & Import. Some content may be skipped if the required plugins are not installed. For example, forms will be skipped if Contact Form 7 isn’t installed and sliders will be skipped if Slider Revolution isn’t installed

• Step 4 – Wait for the demo content to import. It could take a few minutes depending on your server resources and demo content size
• Step 5 – The theme installation is complete when you see the Import Complete window appear. You can see the results by clicking on Visit Site

FAQ

Can I use my license on several domains/websites?

No. It is important to understand that premium services like automatic theme updates, demo website content, template library, and our customer support are not included with the GPL license. Thus, purchasing a license only grants you the right to use it on one single domain.

Can my license key be transferred from one website to another?

Yes. You can transfer the license key by first removing it from the old website and then entering it into the new website.
