In WordPress you can change langauge here:

Admin->Settings->General->Site Language

For translations we suggest Loco Translate plugin

Our plugin also support commercial WPML if you will need it, WPML require additional page for each langauge.

1. Buy and Download CMS version here: https://wpml.org/

2. Install WPML in usual regular way (default order of languages, because in our plugin first language in order is also default) and add new pages for each langauge and page:

Multilanguage required - In dashboard required fields must be populated for all languages

If Multilanguage required will be unchecked, then fields will be copied or auto translated

You can provide Google Translate API key (not free) for best Google translations, in other case MyMemory free api will be used.

Instructions to get API key: https://cloud.google.com/translate/v2/getting_started

Limit cURL calls is there because some servers doesn't allow unlimited calls for translations (each input field translation require one call), here can be limited and other translations will be just copied.

On quick submission user need to populate only default language

As any other WordPress plugin or theme, our also contain lot of Widgets which can be added to some predefined places in specific template

Usually it's right sidebar or footer. For example search form fit nicely right sidebat, map results listing footer etc.

In Admin->Appearance->Widgets you can drag & drop existing widgets (prefixed with SW) to such predefined places in your template

WordPress.com issues with install demo content on premium account:

WordPress.com doesn’t allow you to upload your own themes (you’re stuck with what’s available for free or in their marketplace) so in order to use any of the awesome themes on marketplace you’ll need to get yourself a self-hosted installation of WordPress.

We will try to make as most features possible compatible, but they have so many limitations for plugins that is not suggested to use it.

Use cheap and good hosting suggested in above section instead.

Installation failed with message: The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet. ?

You using wrong file for theme installation, open this file, maybe you have inside serity.zip , use this serity.zip file instead.

So this usually happen because of small upload_max_size configuration on server and is easy to solve. You can also extract theme directly on server cpanel file manager into folder "wp-content\themes\" instead of uploading via dashboard.

This sometimes happen in WordPress, not relate to theme, Clear your browser cache and cookies or use another browser / PC.

Also use clean latest WordPress version, because some third parity plugins can also cause that.

You receiving "Sorry you are not allowed to access this page" ?

Check above, similar to link has expired.

Also check your PHP version, must be min. 5.6 or above

I've used the following files and services as listed:

1. WordPress
2. jQuery
3. Bootstrap
4. The Documenter
