### Installation

To install this theme you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. Make sure your installed Wordpress version is 4.0 or higher. You also need to have PHP 5.3 or higher versions (recommended is php 5.3+) and MySQL 5.0 in order for EngoTheme to function correctly. If you need help installing WordPress, follow the instructions in WordPress Codex or you can watch the Instructional Video created by Woo Themes.

## 1. Download

Purchase Nautica template from ThemeForest then you can download our template package on there.

Extract package that include all files and folders of theme. When done, you should see Nautica_theme.zip (zip file name can be changed from version to version).

## 2. Installing Theme From the WordPress Dashboard

Installing a WordPress theme is super easy, you’ll see our video guide:

- Step 1: Navigate to Appearance → Themes in your WordPress admin dashboard.

- Step 2: Click the Add New button at the top of the page and go for the Upload option.

- Step 3: Choose Nautica_theme.zip then click Install

- Step 4: Wait while the theme is uploaded and installed then activate the theme.

## 3. Installing By FTP

Many users are on shared hosting with low upload limits, and in such situations the Nautica theme is often too large to install through Wordpress. We suggest you should upload it via FTP.

If you don't know how to use FTP visit this link for information: http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients . You will need to first uncompress the nautica-theme.zip file you have found in the master zip downloaded from Themeforest. This zip uncompresses into a normal folder. This unzipped folder is all you need to transfer via ftp and if you open it, you will see all sorts of folders and css and php files which together contain all the theme coding.

Using the FTP program transfer this folder which contains the above files to the Wordpress installation theme root directory: /wp-content/themes.

Do not upload any of the other files or folders such as licensing or resource or documentation. Uploading any of the other folders may cause problems resulting in the theme not working properly. Learn from Wordpress Official Documentation about installing theme with FTP client or with cPanel: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes

## 4. Activate Nautica As Default Theme

After completing the upload, activate the theme as per activating any other theme.

Goto your Dashboard >> Appearance >> Themes >> Activate Nautica template

Follow that images:

## 5. Known problems when installing the theme

a. The “Broken theme and/or stylesheets missing” error is most common when you install or activate a new theme.

If you get an error saying that the stylesheet is missing, then you have uploaded the wrong folder. Please check that you are uploading the Nautica_theme.zip within the Theme Files folder. You have to unzip the package file that you download from Themeforest to find this.

b. Problems with uploading via WP admin panel due Upload limit.

You may check your file upload limit on Your Media Uploader page in WordPress. Depending upon the web hosting company and the conditions of the service they provide it may vary. The most common is about 8 MB which is more or less enough. But uploading some media files like audio and video may become a problem with for example 2 MB upload limit.
We decided to share some tips about how to extend your maximum file upload size in WordPress:
1. Through functions.php file:

You may add the below mentioned code in the functions.php file of your theme

@ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '64M' );
@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '64M');
@ini_set( 'max_execution_time', '300' );

2. Through PHP.INI file:

If you cannot see the php.ini file in your directory create the new one with below mentioned code and upload it to your root folder on your web server.

If you can see the php.ini file then change parameters or add :

upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
max_execution_time = 300
In case that tip does not work with 64MB, try it with 10MB.

3. Through .htaccess method

You may try modifying the existing .htaccess file in the root directory or creating a new one.

Add the following code in the existing or new htacess file:

php_value upload_max_filesize 64M
php_value post_max_size 64M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300

You can reset all of the setting for the each page on our custom panel by clicking “Reset” button on the bottom.

A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes allow you to modify, or add to the functionality of that parent theme. A child theme is the best, safest, and easiest way to modify an existing theme, whether you want to make a few tiny changes or extensive changes. Instead of modifying the theme files directly, you can create a child theme and override within.

Why use a Child Theme?

if you modify an existing theme and it is updated, your changes will be lost. With a child theme, you can update the parent theme (which might be important for security or functionality) and still keep your changes. It’s a great way to get started if you are just learning WordPress theme development.

SCOPE OF SUPPORT

Please remember you have purchased a very affordable theme and you have not paid for a full-time web design agency. Occasionally we will help with small tweaks, but these requests will be put on a lower priority due to their nature. Support is also 100% optional and we provide it for your connivence, so please be patient, polite and respectful. Our support covers fixing bugs and reported issues, providing updates to ensure compatibility with new software versions. Unfortunately we cannot provide support for customizations or 3rd party plugins. If you need help with customizations of your theme, please contact with us with your requirement. Our technical team will help you with some fees.

Before seeking support, please...

* Make sure your question is a valid Theme Issue and not a customization request.
* Make sure you have read through the documentation and any related video guides before asking support on how to accomplish a task.
* Make sure to double check the theme FAQs.
* Try disabling any active plugins to make sure there isn't a conflict with a plugin. And if there is this way you can let us know.
* If you have customized your theme and now have an issue, back-track to make sure you didn't make a mistake. If you have made changes and can't find the issue, please provide us with your changelog.
* Almost 80% of the time we find that the solution to people's issues can be solved with a simple "Google Search". You might want to try that before seeking support. You might be able to fix the issue yourself much quicker than we can respond to your request.
* Make sure to state the name of the theme you are having issues with when requesting support via ThemeForest.
