Dear Customer!
We strongly recommend to read this documentation attentively to save your time during further setting up of our theme.
This theme requires a working version of WordPress to already be installed on your server. If you need to install WordPress then please visit: https://wordpress.org/download. If you need any help with the installation, please refer to the guide below:
Install WordPressThe theme files need to be uploaded before you can activate the theme for use. There are two ways you can do this, FTP upload or WordPress upload.
Once you have uploadeded the theme, you need to activate it by going to Appearance > Themes, and activate “Avas”.
We have provided a child theme package ready for you to use if you wish to make changes to files, while keeping them through updates. The child theme is included within the main download folder, and is named "avas-child.zip" all you need to do is extract and upload this into themes folder or add as new theme from admin panel, and then activate the child theme in Appearance > Themes from the WordPress menu.
We've include the child theme css file ready for you to add your own styles, if you'd prefer to do it here rather than in the custom css box within the theme options. If you are adding styles here, but aren't seeing them on the front end, try adding !important to the end of the declaration. This is sometimes needed to override the dynamic css styles that are generated from the theme options customisations.
We've also included a child theme functions.php file, which you can use to add your own php functions, or override functions from the parent theme. If you'd like to do this, make sure you check out the developers documentation for the theme.
Now that you have activated Avas Theme, you will see a yellow notice at the top of the screen. This notice is to let you know about the plugins that we recommend you install for use with the theme.

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.
