There are 2 ways to upload the theme:
|
Once the plugins are installed, you need to activate them.
In order to install Layer Slider, go to Plugins > Add New, click Upload, find the layersliderwp-(versionNr).installable.zip file which is included in the RED:FOLIO download files (make sure you've downloaded 'All files & documentation' from Themeforest) and click Install now. Once the plugin is uploaded click Activate Plugin.
NOTE: If you get the Install Error: Are You Sure You Want To Do This? error message when installing the layerslider zip file via WordPress, it means you have an upload file size limit. Install the plugin via FTP if this happens, or get in touch with your hosting company and ask them to increase the limit.
If you want a quick start you can import the content from the red:folio demo site (images are replaced with dummy images).
It is very important that you install and activate all required and recommended plugins before you install the demo content. You can do that in Appearance > Install Plugins..

In order to sort the portfolio items, install the
Simple Page Ordering plugin.
You can do that in Appearance > Install Plugins.
Once the plugin is installed, you can simply drag and drop the portfolio items into a certain order. In order to display all portfolio items on 1 page, which helps to reorder them, in the top right corner click "Screen Options" and enter a number at least as high as the total number of items you've created.
