My changes do not appear online, what can i do?

  • If your styles are not applied after saving them, it might be due to a caching issue. When your styles are not applied online, please regenerate the CSS via Elementor > Tools > Regenerate CSS on your WordPress Dashboard, then make sure that you clear your WP cache (your WP plugin if you have one), your server cache (if you have one. In this case, you can contact your hosting provider), and your browser cache, after that you save changes: https://codex.wordpress.org/I_Make_Changes_and_Nothing_Happens
  • In some cases, it will be possible to solve the issue by switching the CSS print method in “Elementor > Settings > Advanced” on your WordPress Dashboard.
  • SVG images are not displayed if they do not have a width set in pixels.
  • HTML tags which are not closed can also lead to layout issues so if you added some HTML code in the HTML widget or in another widget, make sure that all your tags are properly opened and closed.

Create A New Contact Form

Click on Contact > Contact Forms. Here you will see the central administration panel where you can manage multiple contact forms. You will also find the Contact Form 7’s default contact form, labeled Contact Form 1.

Contact Form 1 contains all the fields a basic contact form may need. This form is ready to use and can be inserted into any page and post of your website, if you wish (this is covered further on).

Alternatively, you can create your own contact form by selecting Contact > Add New.

Your template defines the various fields that will appear on your form, as well as the labels that appear next to those fields.

To do so, navigate to Dashboard > Settings > Reading. On that page, choose “A static page” from the “Your homepage displays” section. From the drop-down menu, select the page Home for Homepage and the page Blog for the Posts page.

Setup Permalink (Required)

Make sure to configure the permalink structure. By default, WordPress generates web URLs having question marks and lots of numbers in them. However, WordPress offers you the ability to create a custom URL structure for your permalinks and archives. This can improve the readability, usability, and forward-compatibility of your website links.

From WordPress admin panel go to the following path, Settings > Permalink then select “Post name” (or any other depending on your choice) as the permalink structure for your WordPress site.

Importing demo data on our WordPress theme is very simple. Go to the Dashboard and select Appearance->Import Demo Data then  Click on “Import Demo Data”, save the changes when it’s done.

If you’ve already used the One Click Demo Install, then you no longer need to import demo manually. In case you don’t use the Demo Importer, then follow the next section to import data manually.

Import Demo Manually

If you want to go with the demo data which is available on the theme, then you’d need to import the sample data. To import the sample data manually, first go to the left sidebar (Dashboard), then choose Tools > Import > WordPress > “Install Now” (from the list), once you’ve clicked “Install Now” you’ll see the button changed to “Run Importer” click on it now. Then you will see the “Import WordPress” option which allows you to upload a .xml file from the Demo Content folder (file name: demo-content.xml) found inside the extracted folder that you get from the download theme package (a zip file).

Once you imported the demo-content, you’ll be presented with another screen where you’d need to select the user and check mark download attachment, then finally click “Submit”. Check out the following screenshot.
