Introduction

Thank you for buying our WordPress theme. This documentation explains in several sections how to set up and administer a WordPress website from the ground up.

What is WordPress CMS?

WordPress is an open-source website creation application that makes use of PHP and MySQL. In a nutshell, it is an open-source content management system (CMS) and blogging tool that anyone can use. The CMS allows you to build both websites and robust online applications. You don't need any technical expertise or skills to manage it. WordPress has become the most popular website development software due to its simplicity of use and flexibility. Learn More

What is a Wordpress Template?

WordPress templates act as skins for WordPress-powered webpages. A WordPress design is simple to set up. By installing a new template, you can quickly change the appearance of your WordPress website. The WordPress template includes all of the required source files, which you can edit and expand as needed.

File Structure

The template file you downloaded contains several folders. Let's take a closer look at what each subdirectory contains:

    Screenshots - Template examples are included. Not for use in manufacturing.
  • theme -includes WordPress theme assets
  • "plumbing-contractor-pro" -This folder includes all of the files required for the theme.
  • "license.txt" -contains license details
  • "readme.txt" -This file contains details about the theme's images, usage script, and font.

My site used to work fine before. How were the file permissions changed?

WordPress may be unable to make folders, upload images, or execute scripts if the file permissions are incorrectly set.

WordPress requires authorization to manage files and make folders on the server.

  • Select File Permissions from the context menu when you right-click on any folder in the main directory.
    1. Go to wp-config
    2. Now we'll look at the permissions dialogue window.
    3. tick the check box read and write
    4. To proceed, press the OK button.
  • Follow the same procedures for the wp-content subdirectory.
