Follow these steps:

For best performance we recommend using PHP 7.2 or higher. Most people have problems when PHP < 7

1. Page not found

In this case, you only need to import the data again.

2. Other issues

If you have problems importing the demo ( example : infinite loading, error 505 with when using wordpress importer ) then you may have a problem with the server settings. Please check these:

1. If the import stalls and fails to respond after a few minutes, or it fails with a simple error message like “Import failed,” You are suffering from PHP configuration limits that are set too low to complete the process. You should contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:

• max_execution_time 3600
• max_input_time 3600
• memory_limit 256M
• post_max_size 64M
• upload_max_filesize 64M
• max_input_vars 3000
• allow_url_fopen on (!important)
• Please install the XMLReader PHP extension on your server

You can verify your PHP configuration limits by installing a simple plugin found here. And you can also check your PHP error logs to see the exact error being returned.

2. Also if possible update your PHP version to 7.2

3. Save all config in Woocommerce before import data

After doing this you can reset your database using the WordPress Database Reset Plugin and try to re-import the demo data ( WARNING : Reset the database will make you lost all the data of your current wordpress )

If you still have problem your web host may uses process watching software that prevents bulk processing on their web servers.

If you have problem please submit a ticket and we will help you to import the demo.

A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality and styling of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes are the recommended way of modifying an existing theme.

Currently, we will provide some customized Child Theme templates according to specific functions. You can download and use it the way you want.

Why use a Child Theme?

There are a few reasons why you would want to use a child theme:

• If you modify a theme directly and it is updated, then your modifications may be lost. By using a child theme you will ensure that your modifications are preserved.
• Using a child theme can speed up development time.
• Using a child theme is a great way to learn about WordPress theme development.

How to install the Child Theme?

1. Install the Child Theme is included in the package

In this theme, we offer you a sample Child Theme (zota-child.zip). You install it like normal theme.

2. Install the Child Theme during Import Sample Data

3. Self-created Child Theme

But you can create your own Child Theme form by following the instructions below

Zota’s compatibility with WPML allows you to build fully functional multilingual eCommerce websites. In this tutorial, you will learn how to translate a website built with Urna’s using WPML.

• This is a basic guide to using WPML - https://docs.thembay.com/wpml/
• If you have problems using WPML, please send us a ticket - https://tickets.thembay.com/

To use this function, you need to install the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/weglot/

Zota is created with speed and performance in mind. On it's own, Zota is highly optimized and provides you with the ability to get extremely high speed test scores on tools like GTMetrix, Google PageSpeed Insights, and Web Page Speed Test. Having said this, your site's speed and performance does not entirely rely on the theme and what you put into it also has a great impact on your speed scores. Continue reading below to learn more about site optimization.

When it comes to optimization, Zota plays a much smaller part than you would imagine. Zota is optimized so that it's fast on it's own, but ultimately, user content will dictate how fast your site will perform. Images play a huge factor in speed results, as well as hosting, server, extra plugins, content and more.

For example, if you have a site that's 1100px wide and upload a 2000px image on a page, your page speed score will drop heavily. This is because places like Google or GTMetrix will see a 1100px container that unnecessarily has an image on it that is twice it's size.

Add the code below to your .htaccess file

You can download Complete Analytics Optimization Suite from the WordPress repository or by searching for it under “Add New” plugins in your WordPress dashboard. As of writing this the plugin currently has 10,000+ active installs with a 5 out of 5-star rating. The plugin allows you to host your Google Analytics JavaScript file (analytics.js) locally and keep it updated using wp_cron(). Other features include being able to easily anonymize the IP address of your visitors, set an adjusted bounce rate, and placement of the script (header or footer).

Just install the plugin, enter your Google Analytics Tracking ID, and the plugin adds the necessary tracking code for Google Analytics to your WordPress website, downloads and saves the analytics.js file to your server and keeps it updated using a scheduled script in wp_cron(). We recommend also setting it to load in the footer. Note: This plugin won’t work with other Google Analytics WordPress plugins.

WP-Optimize is an effective tool for automatically cleaning your WordPress database so that it runs at maximum efficiency.

Recommended Cache Plugins:

• Smush Image Compression and Optimization
• Imagify Image Optimizer

Caching and Minification is important in any website. Whenever a user visits your site, a lot of information is requested such as images, styling, as well as retrieving your content from the WordPress database. These factors plus the amount of visitors you have can significantly affect your site's total page loading time. Caching plugins help reduce this by showing your viewers a static version of your site.

These settings are not a one size fits all. The plugins listed below interacts differently with each server, and each situation can be different. Contact your host as well because they may have specific caching rules on their servers.

Below is a list of our recommended cache plugins to optimize your sites speed. These plugins have been tested with Zota, and we find that they work well with the theme. However, please note that these plugins interacts differently with different server setups. We also do not provide support for any issues caused by third party plugins.

Recommended Cache Plugins:

Lazy Load – Optimize Images (By WP Rocket)

Setting:

1. Use Cloudflare For Faster Page Load Speed, CDN, AMP & Security

This is similar to the section above on using CDN’s, but I’ve become so fond of CloudFlare since I discussed it in my best web analytics post that I’ve decided to include it separately here.

To put it bluntly, CloudFlare, along with the W3 Total Cache plugin discussed above, are a really potent combination (they integrate with each other) that will greatly improve not only the speed, but the security of your site.

Watch the "Use Cloudflare For Faster Page Load Speed, CDN, AMP & Security" video tutorial

2. Choose a good host

When starting out, a shared host might seem like a bargain (“Unlimited page views!”). It comes at another cost: incredibly slow site speed and frequent down time during high traffic periods.

If you plan on publishing popular stuff, you’re killing yourself by running your WordPress site on shared hosting.

The stress of your site going down after getting a big feature is enough to create a few early gray hairs: don’t be a victim, invest in proper hosting.

The only WordPress host I continually recommend is…

✓ WP Engine managed WordPress hosting

My sites are always blazingly fast, never have downtime when I get huge features (like when I was featured on the Discovery Channel blog!), and the back-end is very easy to use.

Last but not least, support is top notch, which is a must when it comes to hosting. Take it from someone who’s learned that the hard way.

Head on over to the WP Engine homepage and check out their offerings, you’ll be happy you did.

3. Use a content delivery network (CDN)

All of your favorite big blogs are making use of this, and if you are into online marketing using WordPress (as I’m sure many of my readers are) you won’t be surprised to here that some of your favorite blogs like Copyblogger are making use of CDN’s.

Essentially, a CDN, or content delivery network, takes all your static files you’ve got on your site (CSS, Javascript and images etc) and lets visitors download them as fast as possible by serving the files on servers as close to them as possible.

I pernewyorklly use the Max CDN Content Delivery Network on my WordPress sites, as I’ve found that they have the most reanewyorkble prices and their dashboard is very simple to use (and comes with video tutorials for setting it up, takes only a few minutes).

There is a plugin called Free-CDN that promises to do the same, although I haven’t tested it.

You need to follow these steps to perform the update:

• Step 1. Download the Envato Market plugin and install it through the WordPress Dashboard: Click here to download

  

• Step 2. Activate the plugin.
• Step 3. Login and Create Token here https://build.envato.com/my-apps/#tokens

  

• Step 4. Envato Market Items

  

• Step 5. Update the Theme

  

Watch the video tutorial

This method requires more steps and manual work. First, you need to manually download the new theme package from your ThemeForest account. Once you have the new theme package, you can choose to upload the theme via WordPress or via FTP. Please see the information below for how to download new files, and install it via WordPress or via FTP.

How To Receive Free Support

• Step 1 – Log into your ThemeForest account and navigate to your Downloads tab. Find the zota theme purchase.
• Step 2 – Click the Download button next to it and either choose to download the Installable WordPress Theme, which is just the WordPress file, or choose to download the Main Files which is the entire package that contains everything.
• Step 3 – After downloading the files, you need to decide if you want to install the update via FTP or via WordPress. For directions on both methods, please continue reading below.

How To Update Your Theme Via FTP

• Step 1 – Go to wp-content > themes folder location and backup your zota theme folder by saving it to your computer, or you can choose to simply delete it. Your content will not be lost.
• Step 2 – Retrieve the zota.zip file from your new ThemeForest download and extract the file to get the updated zota theme folder.
• Step 3 – After extracting the updated zota theme folder, simply drag and drop the new zota theme folder into wp-content > themes folder location. Choose to Replace the current one if you did not delete the old zota theme folder
• Step 4 – Lastly, update the included plugins. You will see a notification message letting you know a new version of the plugins are available and need to be updated. Follow the onscreen prompts to update the plugins

IMPORTANT NOTE

If you upgrade through FTP, please visit your WP-admin so any new theme options can be registered. If you do not do this and also have wp-debug turned on, you may see php notices on the front end. They will disappear once you visit the WP admin.

How To Update Your Theme Via WordPress

• Step 1 – Retrieve the new zota.zip file from your ThemeForest download. If you downloaded the Main Files from ThemeForest, you need to unzip the archive file you received to get the zota.zip file inside.
• Step 2 – Upload the zota.zip file to the Appearance > Themes section by clicking on the “Install Themes” tab at the top and then choosing to upload the zip file.
• Step 3 – Once it finishes uploading, choose "Replace current with uploaded".



• Step 4 – Lastly, update the included plugins. You will see a notification message letting you know a new version of the plugins are available and need to be updated. Follow the onscreen prompts to update the plugins

Many themes sold on ThemeForest come bundled with premium plugins from CodeCanyon.

A plugin is an additional component that offers functionality and features beyond a typical WordPress installation. Theme authors (who sell the themes) may choose to include certain plugins (such as Visual Composer, Revolution Slider or other Page Builder plugins) within their item to add these special functions and features to the theme package.

You do not need to activate it and can still use it normally. Read more here: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/213762463-Bundled-Plugins
