This is Lambada documentation (more on this product here). You can skip the documentation with our 24h theme installation service. Whether it’s your own website or a client's, we can take the burden of installation off your shoulders. Theme installation includes full setup of the theme, plugins, settings, and demo content. Your website will look just like the demo within a few hours!
Lambada is a Wordpress theme, so you must install Wordpress first. There are several ways to install WordPress but the easiest way would be to use one of the one-click autoinstallers available from you hosting company. Click here to learn how to install WordPress with the most popular autoinstallers, WordPress Toolkit, Cloudron, Fantastico, Installatron, and Softaculous.
There are two ways to install a WordPress Theme. We recommend you the first one.
To Install a Theme via WordPress Dashboard follow these steps:
wp-admin
)To install a WordPress Theme via FTP, follow these steps:
Use a FTP such as Filezilla.
Enter the FTP account details provided by your web host in Host, Username & Password field
Host: Server hostname (ftp.mywebsite.com) Username: Username Password: Password
Without the required plugins, the theme still works but without its powerful features enabled.
Required Plugins
After you activate the theme you are prompted to install these plugins with a single click, so the process is automatic.
A lot of steps introduced in the next chapters are no longer required if the Import Demo method described below is used. So make sure you don’t repeat yourself with unnecessary double tasks such as creating pages, populating products etc.
That’s it for now. Remember to uncheck “Discourage search engine…” once your project is ready!
Lambada’s Homepage is very easy to set up through Theme Options builder, no single line of code touched and no shortcodes involved. First, navigate to Dashboard/Pages and edit the “Home” page created in the previous chapter. Assign it to Home from page attributes:
Then visit the Dashboard/Theme Options, set your Homepage and save:
That’s it! Visit your website’s home, you will notice it looks just as the demo (we assume you have some products added, either manual or through Importer).
Navigate to Dashboard/Add new page, name it Shop (or whatever you like) and assign it to Shop template from page attributes:
If you have some products added, you should see the page populated as shown in the demo.
Set more shop options via Theme Options:
Shop Configuration: Dashboard/Appearance/Downloads
An extended documentation for the shop area can be found at Easy Digital Downloads official website.
Once again, I should remind you that after installing Easy Digital Downloads plugin, it’s important that you go plugin’s settings (Downloads/Settings) and adjust all the options according to your needs (screenshots above).
Now to create a new product, navigate to Downloads/Add New and follow the screenshot:
Don’t forget to Publish/Update!
Navigate to Dashboard/Add new page, name it My Account (or whatever you like) and assign it to My Account template from page attributes:
When logged in, your customer will see this page as the screenshot:
If you have already imported demo content, this step is no longer necessary.
Navigate to Dashboard/Add a page, name it Checkout, paste the following shortcode inside then save:
[download_checkout]
If you have already imported demo content, this step is no longer necessary.
Your buyers will see a confirmation page after the payment is complete (example in screenshot below). In order to create this page, navigate to Dashboard/Add New, paste the following shortcode, then publish:
[edd_receipt]
If you have already imported demo content, this step is no longer necessary.
Your buyers must have a purchase history page to access their downloads. In order to create this page, navigate to Dashboard/Add New, paste the following shortcode, then publish:
[purchase_history]
If you have already imported demo content, this step is no longer necessary.
Your buyers must have a page for failed transaction alert. In order to create this page, navigate to Dashboard/Add New, paste the following shortcode, then publish:
Your transaction failed, please try again or contact site support.
Lambada uses Contact Form 7 plugin. Navigate to Contact/Add New, create your form and copy the generated shortcode.
Create a page, name it “Contact” (or whatever you like), paste the generated shortcode, then publish.
Create a page, name it “Testimonials” (or whatever you wish) and add each testimonial wrapped within a blockquote
:
<blockquote>
Thank you for the prompt payment and a smooth transaction. Overall, fantastic! I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a creative, thoughtful, and professional team.
<cite>Lara Craft - Product User</cite>
</blockquote>
To prevent HTML formatting, make sure you are in text mode if you paste our code block:
“Lambada” uses “UIX Page Builder” for F.A.Q. page. (Not comfortable with page builders? Skip and read “Uix Shortcodes” section from this documentation.)
Click Use Visual Builder
Click Add Section and select 1⁄1 layout.
Select Accordion
Click Publish
“Lambada” uses “UIX Page Builder” for Pricing page. (Not comfortable with page builders? Skip and read “Uix Shortcodes” section from this documentation.)
Create a page, name it Pricing (or whatever you wish), then click on “Use Visual Editor” and follow the screenshot steps.
Page Builders are great but if you are on a server with PHP memory limit issues or if you like shortcodes more, here’s the equivalent plugin that will create similar elements: “UIX Shortcodes”. We recommend you to use it, it’s faster and reliable!
Before adding items to the menu, you must first define it.
You’ve just created a custom menu. Now let’s add some items to it!
Great! Now the final step, make the menu visible in site. Lambada theme supports 2 menus - primary & footer.
That’s it! The menu should be now visible in website.
Redxun comes with 2 widgetized areas ( Blog & Footer).Go to Appearance > Widgets in the WordPress Administration Screens. Populate the areas with drag & drop:
For “Follow Us” footer widget, drag a text widget and paste the code:
<a target="_blank" href="#"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i> Like us on Facebook</a>
<a target="_blank" href="#"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i> Follow us on Twitter</a>
<a target="_blank" href="#"><i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i> Visit our Google +</a>
Replace #
with the appropriate link, example: <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/wowthemesnet"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i> Follow us on Twitter</a>
Check “Automatically add paragraphs” and save.
Important - Switch to text mode if you paste code blocks or even shortcodes, to prevent HTML formatting:
If you want to use a child theme, we recommend you to easily create a child theme with this Child Theme Configurator plugin.
If you’d rather create it manually, please, read our detailed article: “Protect Your WordPress Customizations with a Child Theme”.
"Lambada" theme is translatable. All you have to do is to install a specific plugin so you can easily translate the theme in your own language. We recommend you Loco Translate plugin.
"Lambada" theme has Font Awesome integrated. This means you can use any icon from this list anywehere in your site with a simple code: <i class="fa fa-telegram"></i>
. Of course, you will replace telegram
with the keyword corresponding to the icon you wish to use. More examples:
<i class="fa fa-envelope-open"></i> <i class="fa fa-commenting"></i> <i class="fa fa-flag"></i>
