WordPress is known for its 5-Minute installation process. WordPress is very easy to install, many web hosts even have useful tools (e.g. Fantastico) to automatically install WordPress for you.
However, if you wish to install WordPress yourself, the video and the links will guide you further.
Before we start we need to install all plugins first. Viteeo is using four plugins to functions properly. The contact from 7 plugin, the awesome revolution slider and the wptitans shortcodes plugin and pricing tables plugin.
After you activate the theme you will see a notice at the top of the page. Follow the instructions which are given insdie that message and install and activate these 4 plugins before you proceed with the importer
Installing the theme can be done two ways. You can upload the theme ZIP file using the built in WordPress theme upload, or copy the files through an FTP client.
The installer is the perfect solution for everybody who's in a hurry and doesn't have time to read the docs or wait for support. With a few steps your new theme should look exactly like the demo. There are a few thing you need to consider before using this great and powerful function.
This process is comparable with importing the dummy content by uploading the xml inside the WordPress Importer. Only now you wont have to search for an xml file within the download package and install the importer plugin first. Just one click and your done.
Create a homepage page and a blog page first and select them inside the reading settings. No need to add anything inside these pages since the layout builder will know which one is the homepage
For the homepage we're using a homepage layout builder which let's you decide what you want to show inside the homepage page.
Open the option panel menu and click on the Layout Builder link to open up the Layout manager.
Now to show the new page you just created you need to create a new page wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=page and scroll down till you see the Layout Details window. Now select the full width option 1 and select the New Layout from the titan template drop-down 3
Ignore 2 when you are working with layout builder pages.
Next select if you want a slider/title or blank top section on this page 4. Now when you have selected a slider you need to select the slider here 5. And then final select the full width slider or fixed 6, please be warned that the full width only works on full width layout and not on boxed.
Start by opening a new portfolio post type, then add title and a little short description of your portfolio item. Just like you would do normally.
Adding portfolio is even easier then creating a portfolio items. Sit back and pay attention while we're explaining the process of adding a portfolio page.
Now we will guide you through the process of setting up the custom menus and show the Portfolio with portfolio categories attached.
The blog is something we all are very familiar with so we won't go through the basics. We're only explaining the functions we've added such as the featured media options, the filters and grid page templates.
Create a new post and scroll down to the bottom of the page till you see the Layout Details window.
Your able to choose between 3 different grid to show of your blog posts and it's also possible to choose between various filtering option so that you can make any type of blog page and as much as you please.
Functionality is somehow the same as creating a portfolio page.
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).
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 is not in use since unlimited has it's own full width and fixed options on each page
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" select box 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"). We have already pre-styled some to match unlimited

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.
When you want to add the certain sliders through short-codes then simply open up the shortcode manager and go to Specials/Slideshows and select your Revolution Slider you want to show.
When you want to add a slideshow through the layout editor then just add an layout element and select slider widget. Now select your slider from the dropdown list.
The widgets are all pretty straight forward and require no explanations. Just open them and set them up.
Viteeo is using 3 different custom post types, testimonials, portfolios and teams. Each one of the post types speaks for it selves and require little explanation. We've made a video which will walk you through the processes.
How to work with PoEdit and use the po/mo files in the this theme
Inside this section you will find a small and very easy to understand guide about the way to ad po and mo files to this theme. Make sure you have translated your wordpress set-up. read through the following list about the way to achieve this. It's really easy, in some cases you can even download a copy of wordpress in your language.
Next you find the po and mo file of this theme inside the lang folder inside the root of the theme. Download these files and open the po file with Poedit. When you've opened the .po file you will see a screen like shown on the right.
Next thing you need to do is to translate all items until the last line. After that you need to save the file as both .po and .mo. Rename it the the po and mo files to your language code. For example when your dutch and you have set the translate option inside your config.php to define ('WPLANG', 'nl_NL'); then you need to rename your po and mo to nl_NL.po and nl_NL.mo
Now you've saved your po and mo you need to upload them to the root of the theme. Not inside the lang folder but in the root of the theme. If this doesn't work then rename the lang folder to language and ad the files in there. Below you will find a few more useful links to get started with making the po and mo work.
LinksViteeo is only using one default style and besides that you have the opportunity to create a custom style with our dark starters style and light starters style. This means that when you need a dark style you only have to select the dark starters style and open the stylesheet and start editing without messing anything up. Only the required styles are present inside this stylesheet.
This works pretty easy. First thing you need to do is watch this video and you know exactly how to create you own wptitans child theme ;).
