This plugin is a cornerstone of our website because the Header, Footer, and Player sections built on this extention. Although you are able to build them with another plugins, I highly recommend you to have your own Pro license and activate on your server before you go to the demo settings there because I believe it worths useful to you.

Demo Data

Note

Please make sure you have installed all the recommended plugins (previous steps) on your site before you jump into this settings. If you are not, you could take demo data partially and might do yourself manually later on OR do things again from scratch.

Activate Flexbox Container Settings

Our theme uses Flexbox Container feature of Elementor builder on every single layout of the demo site. So, it is Achilles' heel of the demo content and make sure you're activated on Elementor->Settings->Featues before you move on to the data importing steps.

This steps enables your header, footer and players loop, as well as whole website styling with site settings. You can find kit export from dummy-data/vensica-kit.zip from your downloaded archive from ThemeForest.

Update Instructions

Note

Please make sure you backup your existing theme folder before updating. Additionally we recommend performing the update on a development site before making it on your live site.

Via Envato Toolkit Plugin (recommended)

Hope you have provided your account information in Envato Toolkit plugin. If you go to the plugin page, you'll see similar to following image. Let's click on Update automatically link at right bottom. This is a most efficienat and easy way to integrate latest verion on your site.

After clicking to auto-update, you’ll see the confirmation that everything worked correctly.

Via WordPress theme uploader

Go to the Appearance => Themes and activate another theme than Vensica such as TwentyTwelve, TwentyThirteen or Vensica child theme. Delete the old version of the theme because folder name existing error comes up when we try to install it without deletion. Then install the theme again as you see early in this documentation.

Via FTP client application

Usually updating a theme means replacing the old files with the new ones. You can see changelog.txt file from the new download archive and you can get updated files list as modified/added and deleted. Upload and overwrite those files on your theme directory.

If theme changed lots of files and you really hard to collect changed files, there is a better way to do it when it comes to WordPress themes.

WordPress treats two version of the same theme as different themes. That is, if you have Vensica v1.2 and v1.3 in your wp-content/themes folder they are treated as two different themes independent of each other.

That means you can have multiple version of the same theme installed on your blog. So whenever there is a new version of your theme available, instead of replacing or deleting the files of the older version follow this procedure.

  1. Try to upload new theme archive to the site
  2. If the folder name of the new version clashes with the old version, rename the folder of new version.
  3. Upload the new version to your wp-content/themes folder via FTP or through the interface provided by your web host or by using the upload feature in WordPress.
  4. Activate the new version from your dashboard.

The main advantage of following the above procedure is you can quickly switch back to the old version of the theme if you find any problems with the new version or if it clashes with any plugins you are using.
