General Guidelines
We wish to thank you for purchasing Consultix! We're incredibly pleased and overwhelmed that you have chosen Consultix for your website. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed! Here, we outline all types of necessary information, and provide you with all the essential details you require for using Consultix. Consultix can only be used with WordPress and we presume that you already have WordPress installed and ready to go.
Essential Requirements and Recommended Settings
Recommended Hosting
We recommend using a cPanel or Plesk based hosting from a renowned hosting service provider. Many low cost providers provide their custom web based panel which most of the time don’t have required configuration to run websites smoothly.
We recommend using Hostgator for any hosting related need. Order plain cPanel based hosting. Don't order just Wordpress Hosting from any hosting provider. Wordpress hosting has lots of limitation and you might not be able to accomplish everything.
Ideally cPanel, Plesk driven control panels works seamlessly. Also, make sure that your provider uses latest version of phpmyadmin. The older version of php and phpmyadmin might not support.
We can troubleshoot and help, if you use cPanel, Plesk, Webmin, web panel, zpanel types of control panel. Also, when you ask for our help, please consider to send control panel access. Only FTP access might not be sufficient always.
Requirements
To work with Consultix, please ensure that you are running WordPress 4.7 or higher, PHP 5.6 or higher, and MySQL 5.6 or higher. We have tested it with Mac, Windows and Linux.
Recommended PHP Configuration Limits
Various issues that you may run into are: white screen, your demo import fails, empty page content and other similar issues which are all related to low PHP configuration limits. The best way is to increase the PHP limits of hosting account.
- max_execution_time 300
- memory_limit 128M
- post_max_size 32M
- upload_max_filesize 32M
Edit PHP Configuration
Generally, there are two popular types of CPanel. You can change PHP configuration limits on your own, by follwing these steps. If you're using a CPanel which is different from these two types, then you need to contact your hosting provider to increse the above mentiond PHP configuration limits(especially 'upload_max_filesize' which should be 32MB).
Steps for the 1st type of CPanel:- Login to your CPanel
- Click on 'Select PHP Version' under Software section.
- Click on 'Switch To PHP Options'.
- Now, change the PHP configuration limits as we have mentioned above and click on 'Save' button to save all. You can also change PHP version here.

Child Theme
A Child Theme is specifically for developers who are willing to make changes to the critical functions and codes. If you do not intend to go that far, you can always ignore this lesson or chapter.
IMPORTANT : If you want to edit the templates and functions of a theme, we always advise you to incorporate or install 'Child Theme' and make changes therein. To know more about the need and purpose of creating child theme, visit WordPress Codex on: //codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes.
In the theme package, you will see materials required for Child Theme. It’s found in the "consultix-child.zip" archive. You can install child theme in a similar way as you install main theme.
A handful of recommendations on how to use Child Theme:
In the child theme, almost all files from main theme can be replaced. It doesn’t concern or affect only .php-files with templates and basic logics, but also .js and .css files from respective files and folders with images, icons etc..
If you are thinking about changing some functions of the theme or adding new ones, you have to create file 'functions.php' in the "consultix-child" folder, and add all requisite functions into it. If our WordPress theme has functions with such names, they will be replaced by yours, if not – your functions will complete the logics of our theme.
IMPORTANT : If you are thinking of replacing some functions from other files (except functions.php), we highly recommend you, NOT to copy-paste respective files into the child theme, but instead create the respective functions in functions.php in the child theme. This should be strictly implemented, so that while updating them, new functions from these files are available for use.

Translation & WPML
Use .mo/.po files and Poedit software
For individuals who desire translation using files included in the theme, we suggest using the .mo/.po files. These files work in ‘buddies’ or pairs, so for every language, you must have 2 files with the same name but with a different extension name altogether. For example, if you wish to translate into French language, your files would be fr_FR.mo and fr_FR.po
To make edits on these files, you have to use Poedit which is an “easy to use” software. You only need to upload the files into Poedit, edit and upload them into the"languages" folder that are included or provided in the theme.
WPML
Consultix is stringently tested on all parameters, and is completely compatible with WPML plugin. If you desire a multilingual website, this is probably the best way to do so. However, if you wish to utilize this plugin, you must buy it first, and install it into your WordPress platform. The following links contain useful WPML plugin information.
