Required Plugins

Plugin Installation Process:

  1. After installing and activating the theme, you will see a notification box prompting you to install the required and recommended plugins. Proceed with the installation of the necessary plugins by clicking the "Begin installing plugins" link (see Pic. 1).

  2. Select all the plugins, choose the "Install" option from the bulk actions dropdown, and click "Apply" (see Pic. 2).

  3. After successfully completing the plugin installation, click on "Return to Required Plugins Installer" (see Pic. 3) or click on "Begin activating plugins" link (see Pic. 4).

  4. Once again, select all the plugins, choose the "Activate" option from the bulk actions dropdown, and click "Apply" to activate them (see Pic. 5).

  5. The installer should confirm that the plugins have been successfully activated (see Pic. 6). You can now return to the main page of the Admin Dashboard and begin using your theme.

Import Demo Content

Importing demo content is optional and is not required if you already have a site with existing content. This process is designed to help you quickly set up the theme with sample content.

If you choose to import the demo content, you can do so using the One Click Demo Import plugin by OCDI. Follow the plugin’s instructions to complete the import.

Updating

To ensure a smooth theme update, it is essential to back up both your database and any modifications made to theme files. Following the update, you'll need to reapply any changes made to your files.

Begin by installing the Envato Market plugin as described in the section on recommended plugins. Once the plugin is successfully installed, a new option will become available in your admin dashboard.

Next, generate and input your personal token, then save the changes. This process will display a list of the themes and plugins you have purchased. You will receive notifications whenever updates are released.

Featured Posts

RLT Featured Query Loop and RLT Post Swiper blocks display a selection of "featured posts." For these blocks to function correctly, your site must have at least five featured posts. To mark a post as featured, simply edit the post and check the Set as Featured Post option under the Post tab.

Query Loop Variations

In addition to the default Gutenberg Query Loop block, the theme includes the following Query Loop variations:

Most of these loops have their own settings available in the Editor Sidebar. Users can select the Post Template block as an inner block for the loop. Within the Post Template block, users can choose blocks that represent post metadata or post cards, such as RLT Post Card or RLT Post Tile.

Subscription Form

The subscription form is provided by the MC4WP: Mailchimp for WordPress plugin. If you have installed this optional plugin, you will find a corresponding block available in the Block Inserter for adding to your page (Pic-1) (Pic. 2). Please configure the plugin according to the instructions provided by the plugin author (Pic. 3). Additionally, you can use the following HTML code for the subscription form:

<div class="rlt-mc4wp-field-group-column">
	<label for="rlt-mc4wp-input-email" class="rlt-mc4wp-label">Email address:</label>
	<input id="rlt-mc4wp-input-email" class="rlt-mc4wp-input rlt-mc4wp-input-email" type="email" name="EMAIL" autocomplete="off" placeholder="Your email address" required />
</div>

<div class="rlt-mc4wp-field-group-row">
	<input id="rlt-mc4wp-input-checkbox" class="rlt-mc4wp-input-checkbox" type="checkbox" name="AGREE_TO_TERMS" value="1" required="">
	<label for="rlt-mc4wp-input-checkbox" class="rlt-mc4wp-label">I have read and agree to the <a href="#" target="_self">terms &amp; conditions</a></label>
</div>

<div class="rlt-mc4wp-field-group-column">
	<input class="rlt-mc4wp-submit-btn" type="submit" value="Subscribe" />
</div>

Useful tips

SVG Uploads

It is not allowed themes to enable SVG uploads as it raises security concerns due to the possibility of attackers executing malicious code through SVG's XML. For this reason, this feature is not enabled by default in my theme. However, you can use third-party plugins such as Safe SVG (https://wordpress.org/plugins/safe-svg/) to enable this feature.

After installing and activating these plugins, you will be able to upload and use vector SVG graphics as a site logo, for example, or in other scenarios.

Regenerate Thumbnails

RLT Sensite theme includes custom thumbnail sizes (post images sizes), so you may need to regenerate thumbnails to ensure proper display of post images. I recommend using WP-CLI (requires command-line access to your server) for this task. For details, refer to the documentation for its media regenerate command.
