Installation

Please watch full video tutorial. It was recorded for our Autema theme, but can be used for any theme of our development.

Notice: we recommend installing our theme on a clean WordPress to avoid problems.

The theme files can be uploaded in two ways: Through FTP or through WordPress dashboard.

FTP
Upload the non-zipped theme folder into the /wp-content/themes/ folder on your server. You must upload folder /recond/ from archive recond.zip.
WordPress
Navigate to "Appearance" > "Add New Themes" -> "Upload Theme" -> "Choose file" (choose recond.zip) > Install

Activate it after install!

Notice: If you have error "Theme is missing the style.css stylesheet error" - make sure you uploading inner WordPress .zip file with theme, not the whole archive downloaded from ThemeForest.

Activate them after that
Update permalinks for custom pages in Settings -> Permalink -> Save

Attention! Unyson, LT-Ext and WPbakery Page Builder plugins are responsible for the performance of the theme. They are required to install!
Notice: if you want to use a child-theme, you can also upload the file recond-child.zip in addition with the main Recond Theme. Child Theme allows you to add/modify CSS Stylesheet and functions without modifying main theme files. And you'll not lose your modifications after main theme update.
