How to automatically install a theme (template) on WordPress? Why not all WordPress templates work Problems with the installed WordPress template
At the end of the day, I had the opportunity to install WordPress a lot of times – a number of my friends worked on blogs and asked for help with the installation, plus a number of clients, and a number of new blogs for themselves.
We want our beloved engine to be installed easily and smoothly, but sometimes the installation process does not go as smoothly as we would like. The installation script has been installed many times and is subject to installation bugs, I was able to see the types.
I’ll try to analyze them in this post.
- Golovna, first of all, Incorrect database coding.
It appears in krakozyabrs on the page. Find out the code that is installed on the hoster's server after the procedure. Zazvichay ce win-1251, but also utf8.
To avoid this problem, after creating the database, do not rush to install WordPress - then open phpMyAdmin.Next, you need to select a database and if the table in the database has not yet been created, as soon as there is a message: “The table in the database has not been identified,” go to the phpMyAdmin page and in the “Connecting with MySQL” window, select the code for the інняня.
If on the server the coding is for win-1251 – select “utf8_general_ci”.
If the encoding is UTF-8, you will need to select UTF-8_unicode_ci to match the database.
If there are already tables in the database, find their list and move to the bottom row of the Table of everything: i Updating. Turn it over so that it is selected correctly, as described above.
If the alignment is incorrect, go to the “Operations” tab.
At the bottom you will see the list of “Registration” that appears, where you will need to select the requisition you require. After this we will stamp “OK”.
Please also make sure that all your theme files are encoded in utf8. For whom is the notepad Notepad2 needed - the primary notepad does not allow you to correct the coding. - When you run the installation file, the script displays the notification “Error establishing a database connection.”
This means that the database is unavailable (mysql does not confirm). At this time, please change the name of the database, login and password in the config.php file to ensure that the database you have created is the same. Then re-enable the page, you may end up earning a few times. If you can't help, write to the hoster.
You can’t get out of this on your own. - After you try and print the installation at the address http://mydomain.com/wp-admin/install.php, an empty page opens. When you try to open http://mydomain.com/index.php it’s the same picture.
Check that you have imported the files correctly. Chi in this catalogue? Create an index.html file for your site and you will get the hang of it without any problems. To ensure that any test side is displayed. If you can’t find it, it’s better to contact the hoster, and be more specific. - The installation proceeds normally, but it doesn’t go into adjusting the CNC or else there will be only one head, but no back.
Create a .htaccess file on the root of the site and set it to 777, the script itself will be written in whatever you need for the CNC robot. Or insert the following code into this file yourself:# BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond % (REQUEST_FILENAME) !- f RewriteCond % (REQUEST_FILENAME) !- d RewriteRule . /index. php[L]#END WordPress # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %(REQUEST_FILENAME) !-f RewriteCond %(REQUEST_FILENAME) !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress
- On the website or in the admin you can find messages of this type:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
Otherwise, only mercy and nothing more are displayed.
Likuvati like this:
Find the wp-config.php file (at the root of the site), open it with a normal text editor (for example, Notepad2 - http://www.flos-freeware.ch), select:
File - Save it - Encoding is UTF-8 (not UTF-8 because of the signature).
І press “Save”.
Such errors can also appear if the code in the file does not start from the first row - then, obviously, the empty row is taken away.
This, of course, is not all the benefits that appear when installed, but they are most often narrowed down.
I strongly hope that you will not need this information.
P.S. Transfer post from http://wordpressru.blogspot.com/
I am a dear contributor to the resource! Most often there are situations when, after installing a new template/design theme, the site only shows a white screen. Moreover, it is impossible to get to the administrative panel. Who can tell you that this situation can be corrected by creating a backup of the site. So, it is possible, but only in this case, because you don’t care about the articles that you wrote in a long way, because the database itself needs to be backed up.
Today we’ll talk about how to change the WordPress template/theme if the admin panel is not available. For this we need access to the website. There’s nothing complicated about it, so it’s not worth worrying about.
Change topics registration through the database (phpmyadmin).
1. Go to the hosting admin panel and find the “MySql” tab in the toolbar.
2. You will see a list of all databases (if you have a number of sites on your hosting), you need to find yours and type “phpMyAdmin”.
3. Once everything has been completed, as I have described, you will be prompted to finally enter your password for the Wordpress database. The name of the database for your site, as well as the password for it, will be given when the WordPress site is installed on the hosting in automatic mode. If you, for whatever reason, cannot know/guess the name of the database/password, then Raja will marvel at the article “After entering the password for the database of the WordPress site, you need to click the “Unlock phpMyAdmin” button.
4. After we have successfully reached phpMyAdmin, we need to find the wp_options table, click on it, or click “Look”.
5. In the table that has appeared, you need to know the rows called “template” and “stylesheet” and replace their values with the theme/template that you are working on.
Hello to all readers! Today there are a number of widespread problems that you may encounter while using various current WordPress templates. Singingly, plenty of experienced experts already know the solutions, but for beginners the material, I promise, will be brilliant.
You just downloaded or bought a cool theme, installed it and get the following information:
Perhaps your first thought was this... "the retailer fooled me and sold me a topic without a style sheet"
It's possible that your zip archive didn't have a CSS file, but the problem probably lies in the fact that you simply didn't get to the root folder with the theme.
The most common problem with a unique style sheet
Find the folder with your theme on your desktop and open it (if it is archived, unzip it and open it). Now you have to fill all the files with those that are not there, then the topic will probably be in a subfolder. Well, the folder is named just like the topic. If you find a folder, pack it in zip archives and download it using WordPress, or simply upload the unzipped folder via FTP.
Now, when you install the theme, you choose to add an image to the .xml file, which you kindly give to the owner, and again you will remove this option.
Viral problem with recent imports No. 1
There are two reasons for the problem. The point is that you are trying to create a post or taxonomy with a custom post type that is no longer possible.
- Activate the topic: reconnect, what is the topic, yaku you want vikoristati, active
- Guys, turn your topic around: make sure that your topic includes custom post types and taxonomies - talk to the developer if you yourself don’t know what you’re kidding.
Viral problem with recent imports No. 2
The reason for the culpability of the packages, which appear to be “Failed to import Media”, may be due to the fact that the pictures are not included
- Have you checked the box that indicates the import tab? You need to check that there is a checkmark next to “Load and import file attachments”.
- Are the images available? It is possible that the images are not available on the server. You can open the data in a text editor and try to find one of the problematic files, then contact your browser. It’s easiest to tell the retailer that the pictures won’t download.
For a lot of things, it would be a miracle, if it were active, the theme immediately looked like it did on the demo? But in reality this doesn’t happen.
So you've installed a theme (and demo content), but your site doesn't look like it looks like a demo theme, and there are a number of reasons why your home page looks different.
Top problems with home page displays No. 1
Adjustment Reading is incorrect. This means that your theme will look great and will not require the installation of a home page, and your site will not work at all. Let's go to Settings> Read and select the options for “Display on the main page.”
If your theme does not require the same template for your homepage layout, make sure this option is checked under “Your Remaining Posts.” If the Vikory theme is a home page template, please select that your site is a Vikory static page.
Major problems with home page displays No. 2
You are responsible for vikoristing the homepage template. There are plenty of theme vendors who create page templates for their home page layouts. Read the documentation right away, if you don’t find anything like that there, then proceed to the next page, at the same time looking in the editor, section Side Attributes > Template, to see what type of template is Home, Homepage or Front page. If so, then you will probably need to create a page based on this template, then save/publish it, go to Settings > Reading to enable the “Static page” option.
My URL "Potvorni"
Overall, the WordPress structure is not very attractive and is absolutely not SEO-friendly. So when you set up your site for the first time, the URLs may look different (a mishmash of entry IDs, publication dates, and categories), but don't worry, they're easy to fix
If your URLs don’t look great (yoursite.com/?p=1), go to Settings > Posted Posts and select the “Post Name” option (or whatever works best for you).
If you have posts that look like a 404 message, don’t panic, because all the information has not been shared anywhere and you just need to update the regular messages in order to correct this problem. This problem often accompanies those who use custom post types, so if you have such a theme, then after activating it you will need to restart the adjustment of your permanent commands.
Why should you be afraid to see the 404 settlement?
To resolve the problem, go to Settings > Permanent Messages and press the “Save” button. If you haven't done this trick yet, you may need to manually update your .htaccess file.
My menu is a blank slate
If you are using WordPress today, you are unlikely to run into this problem, unless you are new to WordPress or have updated your browser after a lot of downtime, then you can create an empty menu that is disabled for installation by those.
The default WordPress theme has a built-in spare for the WordPress menu because it is not installed, and not all themes have it.
Check out how your menus work. To do this, go to External View > Menu to set up your menu.
- Turn over to see the menu. If there is no thirst, then you need to create something.
- Navigate to see that the menu is attached to the location. Under your menu, you are responsible for displaying "Display Locations" - these are the areas of the menu that are inspired by your theme. Some of them are just a matter of unnecessarily rearranging the menu, while others are a matter of careless retooling. Select the required option and save the result.
A new topic for Vikorist is post thumbnails, and there are a lot of posts without them
Before version 2.9, WordPress did not support post thumbnails, so there were a lot of meta options and custom fields for custom image thumbnails, and the default post images were not removed at all.
Then, perhaps, you switched from old topics to new ones, as the miniatures suggest, but your previous topic was so minimal that it did not vikorize them.
What to do with daily post thumbnails
The simplest solution is found in the popular Easy Add Thumbnail plugin, which automatically adds post thumbnails to older posts. Just install it, activate it and follow the instructions for adding pictures to old posts.
A lot of WordPress themes these days use java-script/jQuery to add image sliders, sliders, accordions, tabs, mobile menus, etc.
Since these functions didn’t work right away or simply stuck their work, then, perhaps, everyone is at fault with JavaScript.
Thank you for the evil sliders, sliders, tabs, etc.
First of all, enable all plugins, clear all cache and reload your site to make sure everything is working as needed. If all is well, then you begin to activate the plugins one by one, so that you can identify the problematic plugin.
Now you know which plugin(s) you clicked on, and you can, for example, find another plugin with similar functionality.
You change styles, but nothing happens
So, if you want to change the appearance of your site so that it has a powerful character, and add custom CSS to your site or modify the style page, if you haven’t updated the site, the changes will not be valid.
How to rotate style changes
So, you need to do something like this:
- Turn on the cache: The most common problem is that some caching plugin like W3 Total Cache caches your CSS. Whose fault needs to be dealt with.
- WordPress Customizer: If you are using the WordPress customizer, you must click the “save” button and then update the page to get a better effect.
- You can't change the background: If you just want to change the background in the WordPress background panel, you may run into this problem because your theme has a custom background image installed. Try uploading a new image as a test, otherwise you will have to rewrite the old one. You can also create a one-color color with a size of 1px and adjust it in such a way that it repeats.
- Changes in the WordPress editor: if you want to make changes in the additional WordPress editor at External View > Editor, then the changes are not always saved through the access rights to the server, but in this case you are rejected.
Best of all, the reason for this change was that you made these changes directly to the style.css file (name it). Then, when updated by those, the edited files were rewritten with the default code by those. Therefore, we do not recommend making changes directly to the original ones.
Current problems due to recent changes
If you didn’t create a backup for the site, which you can use for updating, then the changes are permanent. If you have a saved copy, you can update the files with those via FTP.
Now, let's try to avoid this problem from appearing in the future. If you want to make any changes, then hurry up from this list:
- Custom CSS plugin. If you need to make a few other tweaks, you can tweak a custom CSS plugin. Axis options:
- CSSHero Visual CSS Editor
- Create. Creation by child themes is perhaps the best way to customize your themes. You will have no options, and you will be able to customize template files, not just style.css, delete or add scripts and kernels with custom functions.
- Please tell the site about more backups. In case something is wrong, you will need to make a backup copy of the site again. For backup, you can use one of these plugins:
- VaultPress – WordPress Backup and Security
- WordPress Backup Plugin
- Updraft Plus WordPress Backup Plugin
- Keep a log of changes. Whether you edit your files manually or for other child ones, it’s best to record all changes made so that you can remember all the changes made and know which one is called before you die.

If you didn’t find the root of your problem in this article, try to find it on Google. And if you don’t know anything there, then contact the author of the plugin or those, and also go to the official Envato forum or the official forum
I am a reader of the Novachka blog - website. Well, I hope you chose the theme (template) for your blog ().
I’ll remind you again, especially don’t rush to choose a template, because there are plenty of them. As I learned from the lesson, I started by downloading the templates that I liked the most, downloading them into one folder, and then choosing among them those that suited my tastes the most.
Explore the process of installing themes on WordPress (WordPress).
After successfully finding them, we are initially attracted to them. I especially give preference to the themes of Goodwin, the stench of the catless and the sweet. For my upcoming blog, I chose the RoyaleBlue theme. On Goodwin's block, you won't need to transfer the templates manually (I'll talk about transferring them in other lessons). To install the template on your blog, you need to sign in the following:
That's all! Now our WordPress blog template is activated. Is it really easy? Now you can marvel at how your blog looks (I guess, go to the address localhost/web). My blog currently looks like this: 
Why did I choose the topic itself?
- This template has 3 columns (more functional capabilities, we’ll tell you about sidebars in other lessons)
- blocks for advertising
- get a nice design (if I want, I’ll redo a lot).
Do not waste your respect on unnecessary writings, advertising, etc. It’s very easy to change them, it’s also very easy to change colors, etc. (that’s why I just “love” WordPress). So don't miss anything
Once you have correctly installed WordPress on your hosting or local server, now it’s time to install the theme. Carefully read the procedure for installing premium products and the description of the skin stages, first proceed before installation.
How to install premium WordPress themes
Correct installation of premium WordPress consists of a successive series of steps:
- Checking and adjusting WordPress
- Installation and activation by those
Checking the configuration and adjusting the server
Before installing premium ones, make sure your web server is up to speed with the following recommended benefits:
- The PHP version installed on the server is 5.6 and 7.0;
- Database server version MySQL 5.6 or MariaDB 10.0 (or higher)
Please note that most premium topics may be incompatible with PHP versions lower than version 5.6, and some may also be inappropriate with PHP version 7.0 or higher. We recommend that you become a vikoristPHP version 5.6 on the server for maximum sumptuousness.
In order not to be embarrassed by the installation time, check to ensure that PHP is correctly configured on your server (you can, for example, check the PHP configuration of your hosting panel):
Correct setup of PHP
#maximum hour of the script per second max_execution_time = 600; #maximum number of input variables in one run max_input_vars = 5000; #maximum amount of memory that is allowed for vikory script memory_limit = 256M; #maximum allowed size of data to be processed using the POST method post_max_size = 128M; #maximum file size upload_max_filesize = 128M;PHP settings can be installed by writing them to the file . user.ini at the root directory of the site, at the file .htaccess(since you are a vikorist of apache), right in the middle of the file php.ini(if you have access to the server) or simply by going to your hosting provider and changing the settings.
Checking and adjusting WordPress
Find out what your WordPress can use to extract RAM for your work, for which add the following code to your wp-config.php
Define("WP_MEMORY_LIMIT", "256M"); define("WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT", "256M");
Unpacking the archive with materials
Unzip the .zip archives from the premium theme with the help of the archiver. Invite publishers to place the following materials in the middle of the archive:
- Called those.zip– installation file
- Called those-child. zip– installation file of child themes
- licensing (license) – license description files (GNU GPL)
- documentation- Documentation that goes along with the topic
- demo data (dummy data) – Demo tributes
- psd– design themes in Photoshop format
The collection of materials that you can find in the middle of the archive with the topic may be available from different distributors. Many retailers do not provide design files in PSD format, but only place installation files, documentation, etc. in the archive. The names of files and folders in the middle of the archive may also differ. The most important thing for you is to know the instructions.zipfile of those that need to be acquired fromWordPress. The main feature of the installation file is the presence of the middle of the archive filestyle. css.
Reading documentation from readers
Be sure to read the documentation from all the vendors on the topic, including the installation and activation section. Some sellers provide a list of stupid plugins that need to be installed before selecting those, a special order of installation, or those that are especially suitable for your web server, for example, the minimum version of PHP or the MySQL database server.
Installation and activation by those
Let's look at two main ways to install them - installation through the WordPress admin panel and installation through FTP/file manager to the hosting. To regain respect, if you choose any of these methods, you are guilty of vikorist installation.zip file with the ones you knew in the middle of the archive with the topic.
Method No. 1. Installing themes through the WordPress admin panel
Go to the WordPress admin panel, open the section external look, then go to the pets those, right-handed to appear in the following three topics: Twenty Fifteen, Twenty Seventeen, Twenty Sixteen. At the very top there is a button add new, further pressure add interest to the topic And select the installation.zip file with the ones you found in the middle of the archive. After selecting it will be embossed install By clicking on the button, the template will be uploaded to the server. It’s obvious that the template is uploaded (files from the archive with the theme are uploaded to the web server to the wp-content/themes/ folder). After being attracted by those, we press the button activate. The installation and activation phase has been completed.
Method No. 2. Installation via FTP/file manager to hosting
You can also install the template via FTP or file manager to your hosting. Why do you need to download and unzip the installation file to the folder? public_html/wp-content/themes on the web server. For example, for those Avada, the files of those responsible are in the father's possession public_html/wp-content/themes/avada(Sometimes users create an additional folder before unpacking, for example, public_html/wp-content/themes/avada/avada, What is a mercy).
After downloading and unpacking those on the web server, you need to go to the WordPress admin panel and section external view > those activate attraction template. The installation and activation phase has been completed.
Installation and activation of child topics
If you want to make changes to the PHP code, then in order not to waste them when updating them, you need to install a child theme. If you do not intend to make changes beforephp code, inserted by the child is not required.
Most often, a child topic is found in the same archive as the main topic and is called child-theme.zip because it is similar to the word child (daughter).
Setting up child topics does not change after installing the original template. The sequence of actions will be the same (method No. 1 or method No. 2 in the installation and activation section). After activating child topics, the main topic will become inactive. The installation and activation phase of child topics is completed.
Installation and activation of necessary plugins, demo data
As a rule, after installation and activation by those, the theme prompts you to install the necessary and recommended plugins that are supplied with the theme or that are installed from the WordPress free repository. Some necessary plugins will need to be installed manually, having found them in the middle of the archive ( plugins > add new). In any case, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the documentation from the specialists, which is also a premium topic.
Installation of demo data, as well as plugins, can be installed automatically (one-click installation, since this function is supported by the theme) or manually. In manual mode, as a rule, it is necessary to import an XML file through the menu Tools > Import, We also import widgets (.wie files), sliders (Revolution Slider, LayerSlider), customizing themes.
The procedure for installing demo data varies greatly for different themes (different distributors). This means that in order to correctly install the demo data, you need to carefully familiarize yourself with the documentation from the distributors that go along with the topic.
Typical amends under the hour of establishment by those
Let's take a look at the typical options when installing WordPress themes and how to implement them.
Pomilka: The archives could not be installed. The theme does not have a style sheet style.css
This is a typical punishment that arises when a user tries to import into WordPress not the installation file of those, but the new archives of those (with documentation, plugins, demo data, etc.).
To avoid the price of unpacking archives with a premium theme, find the installation file in the middle of the archive and use it for installation in WordPress.
Pomilka: You asked, what do you want to earn?
This is a typical error that occurs because the server has incorrect PHP settings installed (double checking the configuration and setting up the server).
PHP rewards, 500 rewards or white screen after activation by those
Such fixes often fail because your server is not satisfied with the recommendations up to the version of PHP installed on the server (double checking the configuration and adjusting the server). We recommend that you become a vikoristPHP version 5.6.
If you have chosen the correct version of PHP, otherwise it may result in inconsistency with the exact installation of plugins or with the installed version of WordPress.
Another reason why bugs may occur on the server is incorrectly set attributes on WordPress files and folders. Go to the hosting panel and be sure to change the rights of folders and files. Files have rights 644, folders 755.
If you ever have a problem, in order to find out and find out the reasons for the cancellations on the server, please first check the cancellation log.
How to properly update a WordPress theme
The simplest and most correct way to update themes is to unpack the new version of the themes installation file into the wp-content/themes folder By replacing files.
Another way is to activate another topic, then select the topic you want to update, and install it again (div. installation and activation by those).
Here it is important to note an important nuance - some theme vendors release new updates by changing the file structure, saving the structure from the database, etc. Before that, instructions are included in the manual for upgrading to the new version After reading this, you will be able to correctly update your topic to the current version.
