A how-to guide and helpful informations about
configuration and options in theme.
Please notice, this is new version of documentation.
If you use older theme version than 7.4, please check old documentation.
Be|theme is the new era of building websites. Totally new & fully customizable Muffin Builder, lot`s of shortcodes, Full Width Portfolio, Swipe Technology, Revolution Slider, sticky menu or detailed Muffin Options panel. Be sure that with our new theme you can easily customize whatever you want on page. Please also note that all those options are amazingly easy to use.
At first, after purchasing this theme please download the package from Themeforest. All you need to do that, is move your mouse over your login name in right top corner (of course after you`re logged in Themeforest) and then click Download. Here you will find all the items that you have purchased. It looks exactly just as the diagram next to.
In the next step click the Download > Main File(s) button next to Be|theme theme and save package on your computer.
In the package you can find things like documentation, license, psd files, zipped file with theme files and folder with theme files called betheme. Please unpack the whole package after downloading it from Themeforest.
At first please make sure that you have unpacked the whole package shown in the last point. This is very important! You can complete installation in two different ways:
In the second part of this guide we have described how to update Be|theme. Please make sure that you didn`t make any changes in the files. If you have made changes and you don`t want to lose them, the best way is to use one of freeware tools for comparing files, ex. Beyond Compare (we are not the authors of this tool so please don`t ask us how to use it. Answears to how to use it can be found on their website). After comparing these files you can upload on server only the files that hasn`t been changed.
If you haven`t changed any theme files, all you need to do is update your version of theme by downloading the latest package from themeforest, unpacking files and uploading new files on the server while replacing the old files. Simply overwrite them.
All your data in the database are safe because after updating theme files doesn`t change anything in the database. Please however always make a backup of your files & database.
IMPORTANT!!! After theme installation, at the top you have box with information about required and optional plugins. To install them and activate, please navigate to Appearance > Install Plugins section, and install only NECESSARY PLUGINS. We included plugins like: Slider Revolution (required), Contact Form 7 (required), Duplicate Post (optional), Envato WordPress Toolkit (optional), Force Regenerate Thumbnails (optional), Layer Slider (optional), Recent Tweets (optional) and Visual Composer (optional).
For Be, we created two different ways to upload demo content. The first one is 1 Click Demo Install, but the second one are .xml files. Below we will describe both and you can choose which one you like the most.
Since version 2.4 we added 1 Click Demo Install possibility for better purposes. If you are using this option you don`t need to use .xml files no longer. All you need to do is go to Appearance > BeTheme Demo Data section and choose what exactly you want to install. You can select if you want to install whole content, one of homepages, content, options or widgets.
Since 12th September 2014, when a new update (4.2) has been released, we decided to create totally different demos for better purposes (not just homepages but all settings, widgets, menus, images and other stuff associated with a particular demo). For more info about this feature, please navigate to http://forum.muffingroup.com/betheme/discussion/1064/how-to-re-create-one-of-full-demo-pages-betheme-demo-data
Header is probably the most important section for theme because this is what users see first. That`s we created 9 different header styles for better purposes. What you can also do is on/off stick header, setup secondary menu, position for logo, languages selector, search and much more. This is not all because you can also setup different header styles for different pages. Below we will try to describe all header possibilities.
To setup header layout, please navigate to Appearance > BeTheme Options > Header & Subheader > Header section and choose one of available layouts. Below header styles, you can also setup some other options that we listed below:
To setup logos please navigate to Appearance > BeTheme Options > Global > Logo section and you will be able to upload Custom, Retina & Sticky Header Logos. Under you can also setup some different logo options. Please remember that Retina Logo should be always 2x larger than Custom Logo (this field is optional).
To setup widgets inside Sliding Top Area, please navigate to Appearance > Widgets section and setup widgets for Sliding Top area #1, Sliding Top area #2, Sliding Top area #3 and Sliding Top area #4. Of course you don`t need to setup widgets for all of them. It depends only on your needs and you can even setup for only one section. After widgets setup, you must go to Appearance > BeTheme Options > Header & Subheader > Extras section and turn on Sliding Top option.
Creating your own page has been never so easy. To make the first step please go to Pages > Add new. On first sight everything looks just like in default wordpress. But when you have a look under Visual/HTML area you will see some Page options.
In first Visual/HTML area you can build your page using all available options in editor. Beyond the default options we included []+ button for WordPress editor. With this option you can build any page you want based on shortcodes. All available shortcodes for this theme has been described in Muffin Builder & Shortcodes section.

In package downloaded from Themeforest you can find revolution-slider-demo folder where you got many .zip files with different sliders for different homepages.
On the list of available sliders, in the right bottom section you will see "Import Slider" button. All you need to upload slider is choose right .zip file with slider from revolution-slider-demo folder and then you must click "Import Slider" button.
After pressing the "Create New Slider" button you will reach a form where you are asked to enter a Slider Title (used for the Slider overview in this backend) and a Slider Alias (a slug that is used to implement the Slider in your WP later, so keep it simple with no spaces and special chars).
You are also prompted to enter the Sliders Basic Settings, a Slider Title (for you to remember the Slider by) and a Slider Alias (please do not use special characters or spaces here, this defines the shortcode for you to use in your content).
The options in the boxes on the right side (General Settings, Position, Appearance, Navigation, Thumbnails) have helping Tooltips on mouseover so they are not explained here.
The Slider Type can be fixed (not responsive, fix dimensions), responsive (changes depending on the size of its max. sizes given later in relation to the screen size) or fullwidth (always 100% in width of the screen size, but height keeping the aspect ratio).
The Sizes section is needed to fit the slider in all screen sizes needed. The height of the slider will always be calculated to keep the aspect ratio from the max width and height given in the Slider Size line.
The next step is creating/editing slides. You get there by just clicking on "Edit Slides" in the Slider Form window.
Just press "New Slide" and the native WP Media Upload dialog window will appear. Choose or Upload the slide's background image, choose "Full Size" and then "Insert Into Post" (all like you are used to it in your WP editor). You can always click on the pic to change it.
Use the arrow handles on the right side to change the slides position in the slider (top to bottom = first to last slide to be shown) or delete it with the "Delete" button.
The "Edit Slide" leads you to the next chapter "Slide".
In the "Edit Slide" view you see the heart of our plugin. The drag&drop Caption editor.
But first please note that you have another chance here to change the background image with the "Change Image" button.
To create a Layer (Caption, Image or Video) press the button "Add Layer" or "Add Layer: Image". In case of a text layer a basic layer will be created you can use the "Text" field in the Layer Params to change the caption on it. The "Style" selectbox shows some basic styles (CSS classes) you can use to style the caption (you can always add own CSS classes to this field or edit the existing ones via the "Edit CSS File").
In case of an Image Layer you will see the native WP Media Uploader again. In case of a Video Layer you will prompted to a custom Video selection wizard.
You now can move the Layers around via drag&drop or type in the x and y coordinate in the corresponding fields.
The "Layers Sorting" drag&drop list determines the Layers' z-index. This list specifies the stack order of an element.
An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order.
Please also note that slider is a plugin and whole documentation for this item you can find in documentation/revolution-slider-documentation folder in package downloaded from themeforest.
Remember: please set up chmod on 777 on below folders to show slider thumbnails and for possibility to edit CSS styles for slider in admin panel.

The option with registering Revolution Slider has been already added to plugin and this only allow you to get automatic updates and support for this plugin directly from author if you need. You don`t need to register this product because it is not required but if you want to get those features, then you need to purchase this plugin directly from author.

At the end please click Publish button on the right.
In the next step please go to Settings > Reading > Front page displays > A static page > Posts page, select page that you have already created and click Save changes.
We have created some features specifically for bloggers. You will find them in Theme options panel > Blog, Portfolio & Shop > Blog. These options are set on default for each new post. Full description of options for blog can be found in section Theme Options
Adding new posts works similar to standard WordPress Posts > Add New. Posts will be displayed on the already created page.
Images for posts we can add using featured image.
With the latest version you can use Muffin Builder inside posts. Of course you can still use wordpress default editor but if you want create something advanced then you can use our easy to use builder - the same as for pages. Under muffin builder you can find also a lot of options what you can see on the image next to.
With this version we created also posts formats what you can also see on screenshot above. We already did 4 posts formats: Standard Horizontal Image, Vertical Image, Quote, Video and Link.
For more info about post creation please go to http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/. You can also check the movie about how to create a post http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa4uimrgNz8
To create a portfolio please start by creating a new page Pages > Add New and setting up the title eg. Portfolio. In field Template set the option Portfolio template. In the bottom section you also have Page options such as Layout and Sidebar. As you have probably guessed, you can select whether your portfolio should be in full width or whether it should be with a sidebar (left or right). If you decide on the portfolio with a sidebar you should also select the right sidebar for your page.
In Portfolio section you can also add videos from Vimeo or Youtube or even upload own videos in mp4 format for each portfolio item. Please don`t forget set up featured image for portfolio item when you are adding video.
We have created some options for Portfolio page. You can find them in Theme options panel > Blog, Portfolio & Shop > Portfolio. More info about these options can be found in Theme options panel.
Porfolio items are working just like typical post. To add a new portfolio please go to Portfolio > Add new. As you can see you choose similiar options as for a blog. Additionally, in the bottom section of the page you have Page options. Here you can choose whether you want a full width portfolio or the one with a sidebar (left or right). When you choose the option with a sidebar please don`t forget to select the right sidebar for this page.
You can also type Excerpt and select Featured image. After that please just click Publish button.
With Be|theme, we added many new options for Portfolio. Now, whole content inside portfolio item can be created with Muffin Builder (of course you can use wp default editor as well if you want). It works the same way as for standard pages. Under Muffin Builder you can also find more options like SEO fields, slider, sidebars and many other. All available options for Portfolio item you can see on the right side image.
Menu creation works as in default Wordpress.
To add your own menus go to Appearance > Menus, type Name for your menu and click Create Menu. In next step, in section Theme Locations for position Main menu you need to choose a menu that you’ve just created.
Now you can add Pages, Posts and Custom Links from blocks located on the left. At the end you need to save it by clicking on Save Menu.
If you want to add special things to menu like portfolio categories, posts categories, classes for links, etc. then please click on "Screen options" button in right top corner and there is much more options that can be used for menu items.
For more info about the menu creation please go to http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus
With this theme we also created Mega Menu option so you can create nice menus with items in columns with titles or without. If you want to create mega menu as we did for "Shortcodes" section on our demo, then it should be done as on image next to.
For Mega Menu columns you must add menu item with # "URL" attribute and - as "Navigation label" value. Under this empty columns you can add right menu items.
But if you want columns with "Titles" at the top, then instead of - you must type own value.
To understand how we built menu with MegaMenu options, we recommend to upload xml file with dummy content so you can learn faster and easier how it works.
If you create one page website or just want to use links with hashtags around one page, you need to create links with hashtags "#". For example if your website is http://website.com and on this page you want create links with hashtags for sections, in Appearance > Menus section you need to create link like http://website.com#section1
Also for sections that you want link for, you must type right Custom ID which must be the same as value after # in link. So in this case Custom ID must be section1. Custom ID can be setup only for "Section" item inside Muffin Builder.
But if you want to get smooth scrool effect for those menu items, you need to setup right CSS Classes field for each menu item which should have this effect. To do that, in Appearance > Menus section please click in right top corner on "Screen Options" button, check "CSS Classes" field and after that, under each menu item you will see "CSS Classes" field. Inside you must type scroll value. After that you will get this effect for each menu item for which you typed scroll value.
The only difference between OLD and NEW method is that you don`t need to setup scroll class for menu items but the whole rest works the same. Instead of class, you must turn ON One Page option in Page options section while you create or edit page.
The new method works much faster and scroll is smoother. We recommend to work with NEW METHOD instead of OLD one.
Be|theme is fully compatible with WooCommerce plugin. We carefully created whole design so you can get very nice shop with tons of options and all looks perfect with theme design. WooCommerce is external plugin and all info about this awesome plugin you can find plugin's author page. Below you have all friendly links that will be useful:

All info about adding new product you can read on http://docs.woothemes.com/document/managing-products/
All pages that you want to setup for WooCommerce are in WooCommerce > Settings > Catalog section. But if you want to get some shortcodes for pages like cart or checkout (most WooCommerce pages must be created manually and that`s why for each you have own shortcode) you need go to WooCommerce > Settings > Pages section.
Whole list of shortcodes included with WooCommerce plugin you can find on http://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/
List of all available pages for WooCommerce plugin you can find on http://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-pages/
For all those who prefer translation with files included into theme we recommend to use .mo/.po files. Those files works in pair so for each language you need to have 2 files with the same name but different extension. For example if you want to translate theme into German language, you're files should be de_DE.mo and de_DE.po
For editing this files you need to use Poedit software which is very easy to use. All you need to do is upload those files into this software, edit them and upload into "languages" folder where theme is installed.
If you don`t want to play with above files and prefer much easier and faster way to translate your theme we recommend to use our built-in translator. This tool is in Theme options > Translate section.
Be|theme was tested with WPML plugin and is fully compatible. If you want to have multilingual website, this is the best way to do it. If you want to use this plugin, you must purchase it first and then install into your wordpress installation. Below we serve links that will be useful for WPML plugin:
Footer was divided into 3 different sections: Call to action, Widgets and Copyright & Social icons. One screenshot below you will see explanation of what is what:
We included 9 custom widgets but in total you have 33 different widgets to use. To get them, all you need to do is drag widgets available on left side and drop into right sidebars on the right side. But if you want to create own sidebar, then please navigate to Appearance > BeTheme Options > Sidebars section and create as many sidebars as you need because this is unlimited. After that, you can go back to Appearance > Widgets section and move widgets again into new sidebars.
We got some extra sections in this documentation to help you with some other things that could be also important while creating websites. We divided them into few sections and all you will find below
Be|theme is fully Retina Ready. All images around website can have 2 different sizes - first one is standard image for most screens but the second one is for all devices with HQ screen like Retina.
For logo we got additional field in BeTheme options > Global > Logo section. In this section you can upload standard logo and retina (this second one must be 2x larger than regular).
The same thing happen to all other images but only if you want to get perfect looking images on Retina screens. If for example you build website where you upload regular images into Content or Muffin Builder, you must always upload 2 images in Media > Add new section which looks like below:
my_image.png - this is the name for standard image
my_image@2x.png - this is the example name for retina image and file must be always 2x larger than regular image
So as you can see above, the second file for retina must have @2x additional name for file.
If you will upload all images twice as we described above, your whole website will get perfect images on all kind of devices.
In the era of what is happening in the search engines (especially Google) we implemented SEO option in our theme. We hope this will be very helpful for all of you.
To set up general options for SEO please go to BeTheme options > SEO . You can set up here things like Meta Description or Meta Keywords for homepage (this is also default option for each new page).
If you are using external SEO plugin you can easily turn it off.
Of course you can also set up options like Title, Meta Description and Meta Keywords for each page in this theme. You can do it in Pages > Add page > Page options.
In section Page Options, Post Options & Portfolio Item Options you can find fields like SEO Title, SEO Description and SEO Keywords. If you fill those fields, the page will adopt this values. If you leave this fields empty, the page will adopt default values that are under BeTheme options > SEO.

Sometimes there is a moment when you want to change something on your site that is not available in theme options panel. Something like: font size, color, margin or any other customization. You don`t have to ask us about all these things and wait for our response ever again. You can succeed in doing it on your own.
To do it you can use two best tools available for free in your web browser. If you`re using Google Chrome you can inspect element that you need to change by "Inspect element". To do it just hover mouse on element and click "Inspect element". After that you`ll see something like on image next to.
As you can see on the image, on the left side there is a list of styles used for each class/id. If you want to change something, you can edit it on the screen and see how the elements look like. If everything is good and you want to make the same changes on your site please copy right styles from box of right side, for example:
#weekly-features .inner-border {
height: 80px;
padding: 20px;
}
and paste this code into: Theme options > Styles > Custom CSS code. If you want to paste this code instead of Custom CSS code you can do it in custom.css file. The result will be identical. It`s up to you to decide on which way to use.
Apart from Google Chrome, we also suggest to use Firebug for Firefox. In contrast to Google Chrome, Firebug must be installed at first before you can use it. To do so please click Firefox in the left top corner > Add-ons and then search for Firebug and install it. When you get it into your browser you can use it the same way as with Google Chrome but instead of clicking "Inspect element" please click "Inspect element with Firebug". On the screen below you can see that it will look very similar to Inspect element in Google Chrome.
As you can see on image, on the left side there is a list of styles used for each class/id. If you want to change anything you can edit it on the screen and check what elements look like. If everything is good and you want to make the same changes on your site please copy right styles from box of right side, for example:
#weekly-features .inner-border {
height: 80px;

}
and paste this code into: Theme options > Styles > Custom CSS code. If you want to paste this code instead of Custom CSS code you can do it in style.css file. The result will be identical. It`s up to you to decide on which way to use.
As you can see, it`s not difficult to use it and with the support of this tool you can save a lot of time, so we encourage you to try to do it as described and enjoy your new skills.
If you did not chosen any hosting yet or current one doesn`t work well, we recommend to use Hostgator. We have fully tested our themes with this hosting and all works very well and fast. Hostgator owners gave special offer dedicated for our customers and you can get great VPS hosting 50% OFF. To get this hosting or any other please click on banner below. Enjoy!
We noticed that some of you got problems with page speed because of 2 very important theme files - style.php and style-colors.php. Files are responsible for most styles and colors on page. Those files contain some functions that are getting CSS from database but are in .php extension because this is the only way to load colors directly from muffin options/database. However if you finished your website and decided to do not change colors/styles from panel you can switch from .php files to .css files and your page speed will be improved.
After those changes, instead of .php files will be used only one file called style-static.css and in some cases it should improve page speed.
With 4.0 version of BeTheme, we added Visual Composer for those who prefer working with this plugin. To activate plugin after theme installation, please go to Appearance > Install Plugins section, install it and activate. After that plugin will be ready to use.
Plugin after activation is available in the same section where default wordpress editor visible is. So please create/edit page and above wordpress editor you will see two large, blue buttons called Backend Editor and Frontend Editor. This is exactly what you need to build content within Visual Composer
To explore the capabilities of Visual Composer, please have a look into documentation and also please watch video below:
Since version 6.0, you can transform Muffin branded panel to white label. With this option all our logos or muffin texts and links will be removed. To transform Muffin Options panel to white label, please open functions.php file on your FTP and replace below part of code:
define( 'WHITE_LABEL', false );
with below:
define( 'WHITE_LABEL', true );
3.3 Social icons
To setup social icons visible in right top corner, please navigate to Appearance > BeTheme Options > Social > Social Icons section and setup links for social profiles. Please remember that each external link should start with http:// always!
