FAQ where to get help, support and additional information

We hope this manual was useful for you and helped you to install, to edit the template and to resolve your issues.

1. Why blank white page and less compiler error?

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

memory_limit = 256M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (256MB)

php_value memory_limit 256M

2. Why can't I save my menu?

Cause of this problem is small value of the "max_input_vars" option in the configuration of your server (host). You must increase value of the "max_input_vars". You must to set a value that is twice as large of the current value.

• Most hosts have the opportunity to change this value in the "Host Admin Area".
  Example:
  If currently you have max_input_vars = 1000
  You need to set max_input_vars = 2000 (or more)
  
  
• You can try to change this value using ".htaccess" file in root directory of the your site, adding this lines in ".htaccess".

  php_value max_input_vars 3000  
  php_value suhosin.post.max_vars 3000  
  php_value suhosin.request.max_vars 3000

  
  
• You can try to change this value using "php.ini". Add this line if you don't find max_input_vars

  max_input_vars = 3000

  
  
• If that does not help you, ask your host support "How can I increase the value of the max_input_vars for my site?".

3. Why website loads slowly?

In some cases, you uses large images on your page, server run slowly because it's a VPS. Try these methods:

- Reduce images size

- Install cache plugin like W3 Total Cache

- Turn off less compiler in Theme Options=>Less compiler after finished changing colors & fonts.

- Test website with GTMetrix and see its suggestions https://gtmetrix.com/

4. I see errors 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 300 seconds. Possible ways of achieving this are:

• By wp-config.php changes - set_time_limit(300);
• In htaccess - php_value max_execution_time 300;
• In php.ini file - max_execution_time = 300

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