To employ a widget, simply go to your Widgets editor (located in your WordPress Dashboard in the “Appearance” menu) and drag your widgets into the specified widget areas.
If you've requested and entered your theme license key, then you'll automatically be notified of any theme updates as we push them. This is the most effective method for getting updates pushed to you quickly and effienctly.
To check your theme version, click the live changelog link below and check the version number at the top of the changelog.txt file:
Relay the changelog version at the top of that changelog.txt file with the version in your WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Themes section to see if your theme files are up to date.
If you are in need of the update, download the current build from the location you purchased the theme from ThemeForest to install the updated theme.
If you have an active license key applied to your theme, you will receive live update notifications to which allows one-click updates directly from your WordPress dashboard.
If you have not customized the original theme files then you may simply drop the updated theme folder contents into the theme folder on your server – which is located in wp-content/themes/trobica.
If you wish to upload the entire updated theme as a separate theme, ensure you:
If you choose to upload the whole theme and switch to it, you may lose your Theme Customizer data and will have to add those back in.
On the other hand, if you have customized some files in the core theme contents, you should consider selective updating, which simply means updating only the files that are pointed out in the theme’s changelog.
There are a couple programs out there that will allow you to compare versions of files, in order to catch customizations you may not remember. Some recommended programs are WinMerge (Windows), Kaleidoscope (OSX), and handy GitHub (OSX) & (Windows).
Overall, the safest and cleanest way to update your theme is to leave your currently modified theme on your server/site as is, rename the folder of the newly updated theme, upload the new theme, and modify that to match your original custom work. In this way, if something has gone wrong with the new version, you’re just a few clicks away from getting things back to how they originally were.
Once you've located your license key on your purchase receipt, you may enter the key on the "Theme License" dashboard widget, located on your WP Dashboard.
Once your license key is entered, hit the "Save License" button - then the "Activate" button that appears after the page refreshes. Upon a successful activation you’ll see a green “Active” tag next to the widget title.
Please note that licenses are only given for trobica - not the free version.
It is important to keep your license up to date in order to continue getting updates for your WordPress theme and support for any issues you may encounter. Renewing your license grants you access to support and updates for six months, including all updates for bug fixes and feature introductions.
Without a valid theme license, you will be unable to get support and receive theme updates.
If your key is not applied after hitting the Activate button, simply re-enter the key and try again. Sometimes it takes a few tries to properly establish a connection with the activation server.
License keys may be renewed at a discount on our website. You will get a renewal notification in the license key dashboard widget if your license is about to expire, or has indeed expired.
A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality and styling of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes are the recommended way of modifying an existing theme.
There are one main reason why you would want to use a child theme: If you modify a theme directly and it is updated, then your modifications WILL be lost. By using a child theme you will ensure that your modifications are preserved.
Log in to your site's administration panel, and go to Administration Panels > Appearance > Themes. Click "Add New" and follow the directions to upload the trobica-child.zip file, located in the trobica-package/theme/ folder.
Next simply click "Activate" and both the trobica theme and trobica child theme will be active on your WordPress site. Now you're ready to customize away.
Note that this is the same exact method we referred to in the Getting Started section of this guide. You should see your child theme listed and ready for activation.
If you want to change more than just the stylesheet, your child theme can override any file in the parent theme: simply include a file of the same name in the child theme directory, and it will override the equivalent file in the parent theme directory when your site loads.
For instance, if you want to change the PHP code for the site header, you can include a header.php in your child theme's directory, and that file will be used instead of the parent theme's header.php.
Unlike style.css, the functions.php of a child theme does not override its counterpart from the parent. Instead, it is loaded in addition to the parent’s functions.php. (Specifically, it is loaded right before the parent’s file.)
In that way, the functions.php of a child theme provides a smart, trouble-free method of modifying the functionality of a parent theme.
Say that you want to add a PHP function to your theme. The fastest way would be to open the trobica /functions.php file and put the function there... But that’s not smart: The next time trobica is updated, your function will disappear (as the entire contents of the /trobica/ folder are replaced upon an update.
However, there is an alternative way which is the smart way: you can create a child theme, add a functions.php file in it, and add your function to that file. The function will do the exact same job from there too, with the advantage that it will not be affected by future updates of the parent theme.
DO NOT copy the full content of functions.php of the parent theme into functions.php in the child theme. It's not a good practice by any means.
