PLEASE NOTE! Berger archive contains 2 themes (skins) in one package: Berger and Tattoo that differ in design only.

Berger

Tattoo

If you try to install the wrong files, you will get missing style.css file error. This is the most common error that means you are trying to install an incorrect package.

To install "Berger" theme, you must have WordPress installed. For information regarding WordPress platform installation, please check the WordPress Codex or check this great video tutorial.

Update WordPress: To ensure a positive user experience, we highly recommend updating your WordPress to the latest stable version. This will help utilizing all of the latest features of WordPress.

If you have questions regarding the theme installation, we recommend reading the detailed instruction below.

You can install the theme in two ways:

• via FTP:
  
  
  1. Log into your web server with FTP client software.
  
  
  2. Unzip the berger.zip file and ONLY use the extracted /berger theme folder.
  
  
  3. Upload the extracted /berger theme folder into /wp-content/themes folder.
  
  
  4. Navigate to the Appearance > Themes tab and activate the theme.


• via WordPress:
  
  
  1. Login to admin panel.
  
  
  2. Navigate to Appearance > Themes and click on the Add New button.
  
  
  3. Choose Upload theme option. Click on Browse...(Choose file in Safari/Chrome), select the "berger.zip" and click Install Now button.
  
  
  4. After the successful installation, click on Activate or navigate to the Appearance > Themes and click on Activate button to activate the newly installed theme.
  
  
  5. Berger archive contains 2 themes (skins) in one package that differ in design only. In "Appearance > About Berger > Install Another Theme Skin" section enter your Purchase Code. This code allows you to get access to skins. To get the code, please navigate to your ThemeForest "Downloads" page and click on the theme download link. Check this guide for more details.
     
     Now select the skin and click on the "Install Skin" button.
     
  
  
  6. If you want to switch to another skin, proceed to "Appearance > Themes" and activate the needed skin in the way it was described above.
  
  
  7. Once the skin is activated, you will be prompted to install the required ThemeREX Addons and the other recommended plugins, if any. It might be (but not always should) Instagram Feed or MailChimp for WP (in case they are included), for example.
     
     
     All these plugins are included into the theme archive, or can be installed from the WordPress.org repository.
     The theme can function without the recommended plugins. But if you want your website look precisely as the demo page, you have to install all recommended plugins and import demo content. This is a good idea if you are building your website from scratch.
     However, if you have an existing website, you should be very careful with plugins installation and importing demo data: this may affect an entire website's content, it's look, behavior and structure. Please refer to the Demo Content section for more details.
  
  
  8. As a final step - the new menu item Appearance > ThemREX Addons should appear in the WP Dashboard menu bar.
  
  
  9. IMPORTANT! If you want to make changes in theme’s templates or functions, we recommend activating a child theme before demo data installation. Please see the Child Theme section for more information.

Plugins Installation

In order to make the theme look exactly as the demo page, you need to install recommended plugins. Click on Begin installing plugins link.

Alternatively, you can use Appearance > Install Plugins menu that redirects to the plugins installation page. Check all the listed plugins, select Install option and click on Apply button. Installation may take a few minutes, please be patient and do not refresh the page.

Find the list of included plugins below:

• Availability Datepicker - InputWP (formerly Date Time Picker Field)


• Booked Appointments


• Contact Form 7


• Cookie Information (formerly WP GDPR Compliance)


• Elegro Crypto Payment


• Essential Grid


• MailChimp for WordPress


• Slider Revolution


• ThemeREX Addons (required)


• ThemeREX Updater


• WooCommerce


• WPBakery Page Builder (required)

SUCCESS! After the installation you will get a notification informing that plugins were installed successfully.

PLEASE NOTE! Please be aware that this theme is compatible with the QuickCal plugin, though it is not provided with the theme.

Gutenberg Compatibility

Our theme is compatible with Gutenberg page builder. You can create new pages using this editor.

All existing demo pages are built through WPBakery Page Builder and should be customized via WPBakery Page Builder ONLY.

PLEASE NOTE! It is possible to switch between the page builders. Please use One page builder for creating/customizing One particular page/post.

Child Theme

Child theme is for developers willing to make changes to core functions and code. If you are not planning to dig that deep, you can just skip this chapter.

IMPORTANT! If you want to make changes in theme’s templates or functions, we recommend to install a child theme and apply changes there. To learn more about that, please visit WordPress Codex.

In the theme's package you can find all the necessary files for the child theme. It is located in the "berger-child.zip" archive. The installation of a child theme is similar to the main theme.

The theme archive contains the files for berger child skin. In case you need to make changes for another skin, in the extracted berger-child folder open the style.css file and change the skin name in the line Template: berger into Template: tattoo.

A few recommendations on how to use a Child Theme:

• Almost all files from the main theme can be replaced in a child theme. It doesn’t concern only .php-files with templates and basic logic, but also both .js, .css files from respective folders and files with images, icons etc.
• If you want to change some theme-related functions or add new ones, copy/add all the required functions into functions.php file in the berger-child folder. If our theme contains functions with such names, they will be replaced with yours, if not – your functions will complete our theme logics.
  PLEASE NOTE If you want to replace some functions from other files (except functions.php), e.g. from _wp_utils.php or _utils.php, we do not recommend you to copy respective files into the child theme, but you should create the respective functions in functions.php in the child theme. This should be done, so that when updating the theme, new functions from these files are available for use.
  As for other files - put out the templates from the folder 'templates', images from the folder 'images' etc. - to make changes copy theme into the folder 'child theme' and make changes there.

Demo Content

Our themes have simple One click demo data import tool. It's very easy to use and you can get a precise copy of our demo website in just 1 click.

Before installing demo data, please make sure you have installed all the required plugins, please refer to Plugins installation section of this document for details.

To import demo content into a WordPress site, please follow these steps:

1. Log in to your site as an administrator.


2. OPTIONAL! In case you will receive a notification message prompting to install required ThemeREX Addons plugin, click on Begin installing plugins" and install it on the corresponding page.
   IMPORTANT! The rest of recommended plugins are not mandatory for installation of demo content but highly recommended.


3. Navigate to Appearance > Install Demo Data:

4. On the page that showed up set the required parameters.
   
   IMPORTANT! When installing "Whole demo-site content", ALL THE EXISTING CONTENTS of your website will be deleted and replaced with the new data! We highly recommend that you install "Whole demo-site content" only on blank WordPress installation.

5. Click on "Start import" button.
   
   PLEASE NOTE It may take a while for demo data to be copied from our server to your site. It depends significantly on the Internet connection speed between your website and our server. Please wait patiently and do not refresh/leave the page.


6. Once the data is successfully imported, you will see the following message:
   
   IMPORTANT! In case "Demo Data" installation stuck and you see "Error load data from the file ... " error message, you can manually install it by downloading the demo.zip archive from our server: berger skin or tattoo skin. Extract the archive to demo/ folder and upload this demo/ folder to wp-content/themes/skin_name directory.
   
   Treat the screenshot below as an example only. The list of folders inside a theme package may vary.

Customizer settings

Customizer's settings are responsible for the overall

PLEASE NOTE that our theme has a unique inheritance hierarchy. It means that Global settings made with Customizer Panel can be overridden by settings of each page via its particular "Theme Options".​

But there is one more unique feature we have developed and integrated. It allows you to integrate Blog Archive feed with the WPBakery Page Builder in any area of the page - just right where you want it to appear without any additional code modifications. Find more detailed instructions in the Blog Archive Types section (Doc Navigation menu item).

We have integrated a lot of additional options to the default WordPress "Customize" menu, which allows you to flexibly control the appearance and behavior of the whole website as well as individual types of posts, pages and categories.

Moreover, you can see the changes of the frontend right after the alterations - when the needed parameter is selected, without switching from admin to frontend each time. It saves much of your time and lets you customize your website just in several clicks. When you are done with the changes, you should click on "Save and Publish" button at the top of the Customizer's side menu.
There are quite a lot of parameters here, but luckily the majority of them have default values that suit most of users needs. Let's take a closer look at them.

Select one of a few predefined color schemes:

Links

This option allows you to set the necessary color for your links and accented areas.

Here you can set the necessary hover color for your links and accented areas.

PLEASE NOTE In case the capabilities of "Simple" color scheme are not enough you can go with the "Advanced" one and completely change the feel and look of your entire website.

Pages

This section covers the information about Pages in your website: included page templates, how to edit existing pages, add new ones.

Page templates

Please navigate to Pages in your WordPress admin panel, click on Add new button to create new pages:

There is Page Attributes or Template block on the right, depending on the page builder you are using. It allows you to select the page style. Additionally you can manipulate with Theme Options settings to make your page look more attractive.

In order to choose some static content page for your Frontpage, please navigate to Settings > Reading and locate Homepage displays, select Static page, and choose pages for your Homepage and Posts page. (Please do not forget to add your new Blog page to the navigation bar in Appearance > Menus). On the same page in admin you can enter the number of posts to be displayed on the blog archive pages:

IMPORTANT! Please note, if you want to set any other page rather than Homepage as your front page (for example Blog Archive) and want to display the slider on it, then proceed to Appearance > Customize > Homepage > Header Widgets section and select the "Header Widgets" option. Slider can be added in Appearance > Widgets section. See the screenshots below for more information. Once it's done click on "Save" button at the top right corner in the Customizer side menu bar.

Homepage

Now, let's proceed with building a homepage. You can create as many options of the main page, as you want.

We will show you how to configure one the homepage, which is "Homepage 1" (just the same one as on our demo).

Homepage 1

The screenshot below demonstrates the page style we are aiming at:

The algorithm of our actions would be as follows:

1. Select Pages > Add New and create a new page.


2. Specify a name for it (e.g. Home 1).

Below are an individual Theme Options settings for the Homepage 2:

Menus

The theme supports several menus: Main menu (located in the header part of the website right under the logo image), Footer menu (located right at the bottom of the website) and Header menu (located at the very top of the website). All the menus are managed in Appearance > Menus > Edit or via "Customizer" settings in the "Menus" section.

First you should select the menu to edit to see its menu structure. Then you will be able to edit/add new items to the navigation.

In Appearance > Menus > Manage Locations the menu is assigned to its position on the website.

Blog Archives

Our theme allows you to create a numerous kinds of different Blog Archive Feeds by flexibly managing their settings through the "Theme Options". So now you can customize the behavior and an overall feed's look to make it stand out from the rest.
Moreover there is one more additional feature that allows you to embed a Blog Feed right into the middle of your page's content just in a few clicks. And, yes, it can be done via WPBakery Page Builder.

PLEASE NOTE that our unique Settings Inheritance System allows you to override an overall (global) behavior of all pages ( that are set through the "Customizer" option) with custom changes made to the settings of some of the individual pages. Global customization for Blog Archive-related feeds are available through "Appearance > Customizer > Blog Archive" section.

Blog Archive Types

Regular Blog Archive Feed:

Frontend:

Backend options:

Please note, if there are no additional options enabled/disabled for each particular page/category in its backend setting, then you should check the Global Options that are available in Customizer settings. See the example below.

"Chess/2 columns" Blog Archive Feed:

Frontend:

Backend options (Chess/2 columns):

"Classic/2 columns" Blog Archive Feed:

Frontend:

Backend options (Classic/2 columns):

"Portfolio/2 columns" Blog Archive Feed:

Frontend:

Backend options (Portfolio/2 columns):

Additional Blog Acrchive feature

As we have mentioned above there is the feature that allows you to embed a "Blog Archive" feed right in the middle of the content of any page.

Follow the steps below to find out more about it:

1. Create a test page and add a few simple elements using WPBakery Page Builder backend editor. For example let's add a regular text block and a few icons.
   PLEASE NOTE that you need to specify the "Blog Archive" template's type in the Page Attributes or Template sidebar, depending on the page builder you are using.


2. Once it's done add the same text block again but with this code inside %%BLOG_ARCHIVE%% of it to display our Blog Archive feed. Then move the row with this block right between two icons items.


3. To save the changes click an "Update" button and proceed to the frontend of your page to see the final result of your customizations.

Please be aware that Blog Archive template displays the Blog feed by default, so applying this feature in the way we have described makes sense only if you need to embed the your right inside of the custom content.

Slider

By default our theme supports a simple Swiper posts slider. Built-in theme's slider allows you to display Featured images from any posts and categories. You can add a slider to the page using slider shortcode. The settings of this shortcode allow you to select a category, and specify the number of the posts to be displayed. Check the Slider Shortcode section for more information.

Nevertheless, our theme is fully compatible with an extremely powerful and beautiful Revolution Slider plugin. It allows you to create an unlimited number of sliders and set anywhere you want on the page within the necessary widget.

To have a better understanding of this plugin's functionality we highly recommend checking the following links:

• Slider usage Example and how-tos
• Support center + FAQs and Documentation

The slider can be added via the "Widgets" section or via the WPBakery Page Builder. Using Widgets allows you to place the slider in different page areas and not only in the header of the page (might vary, and depends on how many default sidebars locations are available).

Below is a short guide on how to configure a Slider by adding it to one of the widget sets.
Please note if you do not have a slider set up (but the Revolution Slider plugin is already installed) you should create the slider first and add slides to it by navigating to the Slider Revolution section in the WordPress Dashboard side menu.

1. Navigate to the Appearance > Widgets menu tab in the WP dashboard side menu.


2. Locate the ThemeRex Addons Post slider or Revolution slider widget and drag it to any of the available widget sets. Once it's done specify the necessary parameters (depends on what slider you are going to use), such as Slider Engine (Swiper/Revolution), Revolution slider alias, if needed, Category for the Swiper and others. Once it's done click on "Save" button.
   Check an example below.

3. Navigate to the page you want your slider to appear on and enable the necessary widget area in the Theme Options panel. For example, let's activate Slider in the "Header Widgets" section (Theme Options > Header tab).

4. Once it's finished click "Update" and "Preview Changes" buttons to see how it will look on the frontend.


Now the slider is displayed right where you need it on your page.

Shortcodes

Shortcodes is a handy feature in WordPress that allows you to do some pretty incredible things by just inserting a shortcode into a page or post. Using Shortcodes is very straight-forward, just insert one where you want the relevant content to show up.

The theme comes with a number of custom shortcodes allowing you to add the info in a simple way. Moreover, you can use WPBakery Page Builder to add new elements to the page. Find the theme-related custom shortcodes on the ThemeREX tab in the WPBakery Page Builder's backend Editor.

Below is a list of the shortcodes included into the theme.

Action

This shortcode inserts "Call to action", event item or columns layout.

Example:

[trx_sc_action type="default" columns="1" slider="" slides_space="0" actions="%5B%7B%22title%22%3A%22Real%20Lorem%2C%20Worldwide%22%2C%22subtitle%22%3A%22Ipsum%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fthemeforest.net%2Fuser%2Fthemerex%2Fportfolio%22%2C%22link_text%22%3A%22Go%20Visit%22%2C%22bg_image%22%3A%2282%22%2C%22icon_type%22%3A%22fontawesome%22%7D%5D" title="" subtitle="" description="" link="" link_text="" link_image="" id="" class="" css="" full_height="" scheme="dark" title_style="default" title_align="default" height="28rem"]

Anchor

This shortcode inserts an "Anchor" item for an inner page navigation. Check the Home 1,2 backened screenshots for more examples of this shortcode.

Example:

Extra Plugins & Features

In this section we will talk about additional plugins we have included to the theme package. On of them, which is ThemeREX Addons, we have developed ourselves.

ThemeREX Addons

As a free addition to this theme we have included a unique ThemeREX addons plugin. After its activation, you will be able to noticeably expand the options of the theme. These addons allow you to enable/disable widgets, shortcodes, custom post types, set links on your social profiles as well as the some advanced theme specific settings.

Once the plugin is installed the ThemeREX Addons item will appear under the Appearance tab in WP dashboard menu.

Below you can find a brief description of all the available settings.

General

Settings of this tab define the general behavior of your theme.

• Debug Mode - Enable debug functions and theme profiler output.
  
  IMPORTANT! There is a separate file for each script snippet .js and style related .css data. For better theme performance the system automatically re-compiles/re-merges these files into a single .js/.css related one after every "Save Options" button click in Customizer (Appearance > Customize) and ThemeREX Addons settings (Appearance > ThemeREX Addons).
  In case the "Debug Mode" is on, the theme does not run the re-compile/re-merge mode, so each and every file loads separately. That is why we do recommend to turn this mode on only if you need to edit/customize the source script and style related files. Please do not edit the following (re-merged) files: trx_addons.css, trx_addons.js, __colors.css, __style.css, __scripts.js.


• Disable new Widgets Block Editor - Disable new Widgets Block Editor, if after the update to WordPress 5.8+ you are having trouble with editing widgets or working in Customizer. New Widgets Block Editor is used in WordPress 5.8+ instead of classic widgets panel.


• Image dimensions - Which dimensions will be used for the uploaded images: "Original" or "Retina ready" (twice enlarged).


• Quality for cropped images - Specify range of quality (1-100) to save cropped images.
  
  PLEASE NOTE If you change the images quality do not forget to regenerate the thumbnails again.


• Show page preloader - Select or upload page preloader image for your site.


• Page preloader bg color - Specify background color for the page preloader.


• Add "Scroll to Top" - Add "Scroll to Top" button when page is scrolled.


• Scroll to Anchor - This options allows you to scroll between anchors with mouse wheel.


• Update location from Anchor - This options updates browser's location bar while page is scrolling.


• Popup Engine - Choose one of two scripts to display your popup images.

Translations

We recommend using Poedit software for translation-related purposes.

To translate the theme to your language, please follow these steps:

1. Download and install Poedit software.

2. Navigate to the theme/.../languages/ folder and locate .pot file. Copy it to your desktop for editing.

3. Double click on the .pot file. In the Poedit window click on the "Create New Translation" button, choose the necessary language of the translation from the dropdown list and click "OK."

4. Now select the constant text string you need to translate from the "Source text - English" field and type in the necessary translation into the "Translation" field.
   You can translate as much as you want, just go through the file and click on each string in "Poedit" and add your translation.

5. Next, you have to save the changes to your .po file using the naming convention based on the language code (e.g. pt for Portuguese) followed by the country code (for instance _BR for Brazil). To do that click on the "sheet" icon (you can also use hotkeys CMD+Shift+S in OS X or Win+S in Windows) and type in the name according to the screenshot below.
   The first lower-case letters define the language, whereas the second upper-case letter defines the country. In most cases, the language and country are the same, like “de_DE” for Germany.
   However, there is a difference for languages like English or Portuguese, which are spoken in several countries natively. In this case, the difference is in the first and second letter pairs; for the UK, the code would be en_GB, whereas the en_US stands for the USA. If you are not familiar with the codes for your native language and country, then visit the GNU website. See Language Codes and Country Codes for the lists of codes.
   Please note, if you use the wrong naming convention WordPress can not process your translation.

6. When saving your .po file, Poedit automatically creates a new .mo file, with the same naming convention. According to the example above, the file would be called pt_BR.mo.

7. Upload the .po and .mo files you just created to the .../languages folder. Make sure these files are in the same directory as the default.pot one.


8. Our theme is using ThemeREX Addons plug-in, so some translation should be done in language files of this plug-in in the .../wp-content/plugins/trx_addons/languages directory. There is also a trx_addons.pot file in this directory.
   Generate the .po and .mo files according to your language. See the file names on the example below:
   trx_addons-pt_BR.po, trx_addons-pt_BR.mo.
   Make sure that the language of your files is the same as in your Wordpress admin panel > Settings > General Settings section.

In case you still have questions on how to use Poedit, please check the following resources:

• Editing language files with POEdit
