If you need any additional assistance while using our theme, you can always contact us via email and our support team will be glad to help you out.

In this first section we will go through the essential steps required to start building your website with the VintClub theme. We will explain how to install the theme, import the included demo content, as well as how to update the theme.

#### Installing VintClub

After downloading the VintClub installation file from ThemeForest, extract it and in the extracted folder locate the vintclubs.zip file. You can then install the VintClub theme using one of the two following installation methods:

1. WordPress upload - For most users, this is probably the simplest installation method.
   To install the VintClub theme using this method, please follow these steps:
   1. Login to your WordPress admin panel
   2. Navigate to Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme
   3. Click on Choose File and select vintclubs.zip
   4. Click on Install Now
2. FTP upload - If you would like to install the VintClub theme via FTP, please follow these steps:
   1. Extract the vintclubs.zip file you previously located. You should now see a folder named vintclubs
   2. Using an FTP client, login to the server where your WordPress website is hosted
   3. Using an FTP client, navigate to the /wp-content/themes/ directory under your WordPress website's root directory
   4. Using an FTP client, upload the previously extracted vintclubs folder to the themes directory on your remote server

Once the installation is complete, your VintClub theme will be ready for use. Now all you need to do is navigate to Appearance > Themes and activate the VintClub theme. After you have done this, you should see Theme Options appear in the left navigation bar of your WordPress admin panel.

You should also see a notification at the top of the screen that required plugins need to be installed. Please install and activate all of the required plugins, since they are necessary for the theme to function properly.

#### Importing Demo Content

With the VintClub theme, you have the option to either start creating your site from scratch, or choosing to import the included demo content to use as a starting point, and then modifying it according to your needs. In this section we will explain how to do this.

If you plan to use an online shop with VintClub, please install and activate WooCommerce plugin before installing the demo content.

VintClub comes with a one-click import plugin. To import the demo content please follow these steps:

1. Login to your WordPress admin panel
2. Open Theme Optioins > Help & Maintenance tab and insert your Item Purchase Code into the respective field here:

3. Save the changes and navigate to Tools > Import Section. Pick CWS Demo Importer plugin and click Run Importer

4. CWS Demo Importer will allow you import the needed part of the content as well as the whole content:

5. From the Import Type section, choose what type of content you'd like to import:

   - All - imports pages, content, widgets, and settings. We recommend this for users who would like reflect their site exactly as it appears on our live demo.
   - Content - imports only pages and their content. This option is recommended for users who would like to see how we've created our page layouts, but who want to keep their own settings in Theme Options.
   - Widgets - imports only widgets. This option is recommended for users who would only like to populate the theme’s widget areas with the widgets from their chosen demo. No other content is imported.
   - Options - imports settings into Theme Options only. This option is recommended for users who would like to achieve the same look and feel of their chosen demo site, but do not want to import any additional content.
6. If you also wish to import media files (images, videos, sounds), make sure to set the Import Media Filesoption to "Yes". In this case you must agree to the copyrights notice.

7. Click on the Start demo content importing button and wait for the import process to finish.

8. Final step is to import Revolution Slider's demo content:

   - Navigate to Slider Revolution > Import Slider
   - Click on Choose File button and locate the Demo > Sliders folder, wher you will find dummy files
   - Click on Import Slider button
   - As as result, you should see imported sliders.

Please note, the images we use on our demo sites are copyrighted, and if you'd like to publish them on your site, you would need to purchase them separately. We bought most of our images on Shutterstock.

#### Updating VintClub

Automatic updates will help you update your theme within one single click. To activate this awesome option you should insert your Item Purchase Code into the respective field here (in case you've not inserted it earlier before running the demo import tool ):

Having this done, the automatic updates will be activated and you will be notified when a new update is available:

You can update your theme manually as well by performing the following steps:

1. Download the latest theme .zip file from ThemeForest
2. Extract it and locate vintclubs.zip
3. Extract vintclubs.zip and locate the vintclubs folder
4. Copy/Replace the contents of the vintclubs folder to the /wp-content/themes/vintclubs folder of your web site.

#### Troubleshooting FAQ

##### 1. Why do I see a white screen when importing demo content?

If you get a white screen or some other error when trying to import our demo content, this probably happens because of the maximum execution time limit. You need to increase the maximum execution time (upload time) setting of your web server. The default maximum execution time on web servers is 30 seconds. Please increase it to 120 seconds. Possible ways of achieving this are:

- By Wp-config.php changes - set_time_limit(120);
- In htaccess - php_value max_execution_time 120;
- In php.ini file - max_execution_time = 120

Ask your hosting provider to take care of this for you.

##### 2. How do I optimize my site?

##### 3. How to translate or rename default theme labels?

You can use the LocoTranslate plugin (http://poedit.net/wordpress) to translate/rename all the theme's labels.

### Using VintClub

Once VintClub is installed, you can start building your website. This section will explain how you can set up your header, upload your logo, create your menu, set up your footer area, customize the general look and feel of your website, and create your first pages.

#### Setting Up the Header

One of the first things you might want to do after you have installed and activated your VintClub theme is to set up your header area. The header contains the logo, menu, search bar and other optional widgets.

We recommend using Customizer, which is fully supported by our themes. To set up your header, navigate to Appearance > Customize from your WordPress admin panel. The settings you define here will be the default settings for all pages on your site. If you need any help in further understanding any of these options, please refer to the Theme Options section of this guide.

Some options, such as the font color, opacity, spacings and background color, can be overridden on a page to page basis from a specific page’s backend. For more information on how local page settings work, please refer to the Pages section of this guide.

#### Uploading Your Logo

To add your logo to the header, navigate to Appearance -> Customize -> Theme Options -> Header -> Logo from your WordPress admin panel and click the select button next to the Logotype field. After you upload your image and save the options, you should have a visible logo in your header area. For more information regarding the various logo types that can be uploaded, please refer to the Theme Options section of this guide.

#### Menu Creation

To create a new menu, navigate to Appearance -> Menus from your WordPress admin panel and click on Add a Menu. Enter a name for your new menu and then click Create Menu.

Every page that you have created will be listed in the section on the right. Simply click the pages that you would like to add to your menu and they will be added. Once you have added pages to your menu, you can click and drag the menu items to rearrange them, or nest them one underneath the other.

In the Menu Locations section (which is located underneath the Menu Structure section), check the checkbox next to Navigation Menu. This will activate the menu you have just created, and you should now see a functional menu in your header.

#### Footer

To set up your footer, navigate to Appearance -> Customize -> Theme Options -> Footer from your WordPress admin panel.

The settings you define here will be the default settings for all pages on your site. This can be overridden on a page to page basis from a specific page’s backend as well. If you would like both the top and copyrights footer areas to be displayed, make sure that Footer Sidebar contains a sidebar area which is not empty and Footer Copyrights Content input filed is not empty. If you need any help understanding any of these options, please refer to the Theme Options section of this guide.

Content is added to your footer via widgets. So first, you should generate and name the needed footer area. Navigate to Theme Options -> Pages -> Sidebars from your WordPress admin panel. Click Add new sidebar button and give it a name. Save changes and navigate to Appearance -> Customize -> Widgets. You will see the generated widget areas for your footer. On the right side of the Customizer panel you will see the available widgets when click Add a Widget button. To add a widget to the active widget areas, simply click the desired widget on the right.

To add content to the copyrights area, simply type in your copyrights text at Appearance -> Customize -> Theme Options -> Footer.

The theme allows you customize your footer to make it unique and eye catching. With the help of Customizer you can add a footer background image or pattern, override background or font color add a copyrights notice.

#### General Look and Feel

Now let’s set up the general look and feel of your site. If you have imported a demo site and would like to keep its general look and feel, then you do not need to do anything else. Otherwise, go to Appearance -> Customize ->Theme Options -> Styling and in the Main Color and Helper Color fields set default main colors for your site. Next, navigate to Appearance -> Customize ->Theme Options -> Typography and set the needed fonts, sizes, font colors for your site.

Now that you have set up the basic elements for your site, you’re ready to start building your pages.

#### Building Pages

To create a new page, navigate to Pages > Add New from your WordPress admin panel. In the text field near the top of the screen enter a title for your page. After you have added a title, choose the layout type from the section on the bottom named Sidebar Position. This will allow you to add sidebars to your page.

In the bottom section of your screen you will find local page settings. Any settings that you define here will override the global settings set in Theme Options.

It is generally considered a good practice to set up the look and feel of your site on a global level, and override the settings when necessary on a local level. This will save you a lot of time, unlike if you were to set up every page separately.

To start adding elements to your page, first make sure that you are in the backend editor view. If the blue button near the top left of the page says BACKEND EDITOR, click on it to enable the Visual Composer page builder view. Once you’re in the Visual Composer view, the blue button will say CLASSIC MODE. You can now click on the Add Element button to start adding elements to your page.

Finally, click the Publish button in the upper right section of the page. (If you made some changes on an already published page, you will see an Update button instead).

### Pages

In this section we will discuss a page creation in details, including various templates and specific options.

When creating a new page, one of the first things you would probably want to do is to choose an appropriate template for your page. To achieve this, visit your page from the backend (or create a new page by going to Pages > Add new), and locate the CWS Page Options section on the bottom of the page content. VintClub comes with a variety of page templates to choose from:

Customize Header - select this option to customize your header area of the current page.

- Header Covers Slider - select this option to create a transparent menu type.
- Override Font Color - select this option to assign a new color to your menu items for the current page only.
- Logo - this option will help you hide or assign the needed logo.
- Header Opacity - set the needed opacity value here which will make the menu background color transparent. This option is useful when the Header Covers Slider options is on. Available values are from 0 to 100

Header Image - this option will a header image to the current page.

Sidebar Position

- Default - select this option if you would like to apply the default sidebar position which was set via Theme Options panel.
- Left or Right - will add the respective sidebar to the page you're editing or creating.
- Double - will add left and right sidebars to your page.
- None - will apply a full-width layout to your page ignoring sidebars.

Now that you have chosen an appropriate template, let’s go over the custom fields available for pages.

Please note that any settings you save here will override the global settings you've set in Theme Options. It is generally considered good practice to set up the look of your pages on a global level, and then override settings on a local level, if necessary. This will save you a lot of time, unlike if you were to set up every page locally.

Customize Footer - select this option to assign a footer area for the current page.

- Sidebar Area - select the needed sidebar area and it's widgets will be populated in the footer.

Add Image Slider - select this option to add an image slider to the page. It's very useful for multilingual websites. Each homepage can contain its own translated image slider.

### Blog

In this section we will discuss the creation of blog posts and all the available options for each post, setting up pages to display blog listings, as well as how to change the date format for your posts.

#### Blog Posts

To create a new blog post, go to Posts > Add New from your WordPress admin panel. First, you need to enter a title for your blog post in the text field near the top of the screen. Then choose a format for your blog post in the Format section on the right side of the screen.

Let's take a look at the available blog post formats:

- Standard or Image - This is the default blog format. You can start adding content.

We recommend uploading videos in all three formats (WEBM, MP4, and OGV) in order to ensure compatibility with all modern browsers.

- Audio - a field named Audio will appear in the bottom section of the page. Here you can enter the path to an audio file you have previously uploaded to the Media Library or past the SoundCloud url.

Now let's categorize this post:

If you would like to create a new category, click on the + Add New Category link. A text field will appear in which you can enter a category name, and then click Add New Category.
2. Once you've selected the categories you would like to add your post to, click the Publish button.
   Congratulations, you've just published your first blog post!
