XMLReader

#### Requirement PHP Configuration Limits

Many issues that you may run into such as: white screen, demo content fails when importing, empty page content and other similar issues are all related to low PHP configuration limits. The solution is to increase the PHP limits. You can do this on your own, or contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:

- max_input_vars = 5000
- memory_limit = 128M
- max_execution_time = 300
- max_input_time = 300
- upload_max_filesize = 32M

## How do I update my ThemeForest theme?

There are a couple of different ways to update our WordPress themes to the latest version:

#### Method 1: Install the WordPress Envato Market plugin

Once installed, activated, and setup, the Envato Market plugin will display a notice in your WordPress dashboard when an update is available. To setup:

1. Download the Envato Market plugin and install it through the WordPress Dashboard at: Appearance > Widgets
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Navigate to the Envato Market menu, follow the instructions to generate a Global OAuth Personal Token, and enter the Token in your WordPress Dashboard:

### Method 2: Manually Install the Update

To manually install a new version of the theme:

1. Backup the current version of the theme.
2. Delete the old version and reinstall the latest version. You will not be able to install the new version while the old version is still installed.

NOTICE: If direct customizations have been made to the parent theme, they will be overwritten when the theme is updated. The recommended way to apply theme file customizations is to use a child theme.

## Demo Importer

With Helas, you can build a functioning website just by clicking a button and install our demo data or click 4.2.1 Create A New Page to step by step. Your Helas installation will be set up with what we have on our demo website, and you can use it as a template to develop your own website.

Go to Tools > Demo Importer

Then select the demo which you want import and click to button "Import Demo"

The progressing would be displayed on import status bars so you will know when it is finished and your data is ready.

This process will take about some minutes

DONE. Now, you can visit your website to view demo.

## Creat a new page

You can create any number of pages with content. Our theme includes several page templates to choose from, and you will need to choose the page template that suits your needs. All of this is done in the pages section of your WordPress admin.

If you DID NOT One Click Install Demo Data, you will need to MANUALLY CREATE your Home and other pages. Here’s how to build it:

Step 1 – Navigate to Pages in your admin sidebar and click Add New option.

Step 2 – Input a new name for your page.

Step 3 – Set your Parent page. It’s usually set to No Parent.

Step 4 – Set your page template from the Template dropdown list.

Step 5 – Content for your page goes in the editing field, use the Visual or Text editor.

Next, you can publish this page and set it as your frontpage(5.2.9. Settings a static page as Home) in the Wordpress Settings panel.

## Import Demo Content

If you are new to WordPress and have problems with setting up the theme you might want to import the demo content file that comes with the theme. The following actions will import some dummy posts and pages from the live preview:

- Go to menu Tools > Import
- Select WordPress from the list
- If you haven't installed the WordPress import plugin, a popup window will appears and ask you to install it. Just click Install Now. When the installation progress is completed, click Activate Plugin & Run Importer. If you have installed this plugin, skip to next step.
- Click Browse and select data-sample.xml file from the download package
  (Example: cleaning demo on path: Helas_Theme/Assets/Dummy Data/Content/data-sample.xml, so the same for others)
- Click Upload file and import
- When you are asked to import author, you can create new author or import to existing author. You also should check the Download checkbox and import file attachments.

Select WordPress from the list

Continue with steps in image

Display asked to import author, selected and continue

After completing all above steps, you must re-check somethings compare wih my demo, because have some settings/data maybe not include.

If you don't want to use the demo content pack, you can read the instructions on how to work with our theme built-in page to make your own pages.
