General & Installation

Few Words on Commence

Carpress is premium WordPress Theme for mechanic workshops, car repairs, handymen or any similar local business website. It is very effortless to setup and use. Available only on ThemeForest!

Installation

I assume you already have a fresh copy of WordPress installed on your server.

You can install the Carpress WP Theme in three different ways:

1. Using Envato Market plugin – preferred method

You can install any theme you purchased on ThemeForest by installing the Envato Market plugin. Download the plugin here, by clicking on the Download .zip button. Install the plugin like you would any other plugin in a zip file and activate it. Go after the instructions in the Envato Market menu item. This is the preferred method, because you will be able to update the theme to a newer version (we are continually improving our products) from within the WordPress dashboard, like you would update a plugin or an official theme.

Upload a zip file

When you are logged in your WordPress dashboard go to Appearance » Themes » Add Fresh » Upload Theme and select the zip file carpress.zip you downloaded from the ThemeForest (installable WordPress files only) and click Install Now button.

FTP upload

Unzip the contents of the carpress.zip file and upload the folder named carpress to your server to wp-uploads/themes/ folder using a FTP client.

Once your theme is on the server, activate it by clicking the Activate button below the preview picture in Appearance » Themes

Congratulations! Now the Carpress WP Theme is installed.

Updates

You can update the theme in two ways:

Theme Options

The theme uses Option Three plugin with custom-built options which you can customize in Appearance » Theme Options:

When you switch any of your settings, make sure you save the switches clicking on the Save Switches button on the top or at the bottom of the page.

Customize the Appearance

You can fully customize the appearance of the CarPress Theme. Go to the Appearance » Themes and click on the Customize button:

The fresh window shows up and you can now customize the appearance of your theme – upload your custom-made logo, switch the base color theme and color for theme buttons etc.

Custom-made Post Types

The theme comes with three different custom-built post types installed:

Create a fresh service to display it in the Services Widget on the front page and in the list of all services which is available (by default) at http://www.yourdomain.com/services

The post type created to display the galleries, create a fresh gallery with a build-in WP gallery builder. Like Services and Team, the list of all galleries will be available at http://www.yourdomain.com/gallery

List of the testimonials for the front page.

Special Notice

Google Maps API key needed!

Google recently switched the way that Google Maps works. Since June twenty two 2016 they do not permit map requests without an API key, so you will have to add a key to the theme.

Demo Content

One Click Demo Install

You can import demo content from our demo site (with blurred licensed pictures) with a single click of a button. Go to Appearance » Import Demo Data and click on the import button.

When setting up a content with your fresh theme, put special concentrate on the page speed optimization, especially on the photo optimization process. This way you can save on your bandwidth, reduce the bounce rate on your website, and make your users blessed. Our themes are created with the speed in mind but large, non-optimized pics can and will ruin this practice.

Import XML File

If you want to import the demo content the old-fashioned way, you can get a fresh copy of the XML file on our server at this URL: http://artifacts.proteusthemes.com/xml-exports/carpress-latest.xml. Don’t leave behind to activate all required plugins before importing demo data. To import the demo data go to Devices » Import, click on WordPress (install the WordPress Importer plugin if not already installed) and upload/import the previously saved xml file (don’t leave behind to enable the Download and import file attachments checkbox to also import the pictures).

After you import the demo content, you can also import widgets the old-fashioned way. The file for widget import is also located on our server: http://artifacts.proteusthemes.com/json-widgets/carpress.json. Rename this file to carpress.wie (mind the file extension) and use it in the plugin Widget Importer & Exporter. Go to Implements » Widget Import/Export and import the file.

After import setup

After you have imported the demo data and widgets, you should also setup these things:

• go to Settings » Reading, set the the Front page displays to a static page and select the front page and the blog page in the adequate dropdowns,
• go to Appearance » Menus, select the main menu from the dropdown at the top and click on Select. Scroll to the bottom and set the Theme location to Main Menu (if there are more locations you can also assign other menus to those locations),
• go to Appearance » Widgets, and set Custom-built menu widgets, by selecting the correct menu (in footer and our services sidebars),
• optionally set other things (like logo, colors, . ). These settings can be found in Appearance » Customize.

If for some reason these URLs are not available, then all you need to do is download the All files & documentation zip from ThemeForest and you will find the content.xml and widgets.json file in the extras folder.

Post Types

Every post type has its own features. Let’s take a look at them:

The WP build-in page post types benefit two features:

Page Templates

One can select from several different page templates layouts available for the regular theme. The default template has the sidebar on the left:

CarPress Options Meta Box

To every page it is possible to add the Subtitle. The subtitle is displayed right below the main title of the page:

Slider

This post type is used to add slips to the front page with slider.

The optimal photo sizes for the slider are 1920 (width) x five hundred ninety two (height) px. If the uploaded photo is larger, the WP automatically resizes it.

The picture used must be uploaded as the Featured Photo.

More settings for the slider (interval, text background color and opacity) can be found in the Appearance » Customize » Front page and Banners.

Services

CarPress Options Meta Box

There are two options in the Carpress Options Meta Box for the Services. You can define the subtitle for the service (like for the page) and in addition you can select if you wish that this service is displayed on the front page in the Services Widget.

Attributes

The order of the services is managed by the Order under Attributes:

Excerpt

The text displayed on the front page can be altered using the Excerpt textarea:

Gallery

We made adding the galleries much lighter for the end user. Everything is done using the WP build-in gallery builder, when adding a fresh media. Like for the Services you can also switch subtitle.

Testimonials

The title of the author of the testimonials can be added in the Testimonial Options.

The Order attribute will be used to order the testimonials. Lower numbers will display quicker.

Shortcodes

Columns

For displaying the columns you will need to use two shortcodes.

To commence the columns area one can use the [colcontainer] shortcode, followed by [span] shortcode. The [span] accepts one parameter, for example n=”Five” . The Carpress is build on top of the Twitter Bootstrap framework, using the twelve columns grid, which means the theme is vertically divided into twelve columns – the total width of the website. If there is the sidebar present in the page, it already takes three spans, so to create the three columns on the page with sidebar (no matter left or right) you may use shortcodes like this:

This completes up at the three (sidebar) + Trio*Three (for three columns with span Three) = twelve cols = utter width of the website.

However, if this page has no sidebar, you should use [span n=Four] three times to create three columns.

Maybe this treatment seems little too difficult compared to the standard “One Half”, “One Third” etc. way, but it is utterly more powerful – it permits you to create just any number of columns you would like and any width you would like, for example something like this:

Buttons

The shortcode Your content is available for the buttons to insert the buttons into your content.

The options for the buttons:

How many pixels you would like to have your button rounded?

• empty – the default state, rounded three pixels
• rounded=”Two” – rounded two pixels
• rounded=”6″ – rounded six pixels
• rounded=”Ten” – rounded ten pixels
• rounded=”rounded” – fully rounded

Where would you like your button points to?

Open a link in a fresh window/tab?

• empty – opens up a link in the same window
• target=”blank” – opens up a link in a fresh window/tab

There are different types of the buttons available, including the ones from Twitter Bootstrap.

• empty – default button Button
• type=”theme” – the current theme color
• type=”primary” – dark blue color Button
• type=”info” – light blue color Button
• type=”success” – green color Button
• type=”warning” – yellow color Button
• type=”danger” – crimson color Button
• type=”inverse” – black color Button

All the options combined:

Content Dividers

Ted different color dividers come with the theme. The default one you select in the Theme Options, but you can always use any of them in the content.

The

---

accepts one parameter, the type:

Accordion

The [accordion] shortcode is available as well for the accordions. It accepts two parameters, title , which is the title of the tab and opened , which determines if the the accordion is opened by default. Example:

Pricing Tables

Pricing tables in fact aren’t shortcode, but you can edit them directly in Text editing mode:

Just go to the text editing mode and copy/paste the following code there:

Each <tr> indicates its own line. One has a class=”active” , this one will be highlighted.

Once you inserted the table in Text editing mode you can also switch back to the Visual mode and edit the text and prices there.

Widgets

There are several widgets you can use with the Carpress WP Theme:

• Carpress: Custom-built Width Text For Home Page – you determine how much space the text widget will take, from 1/12 of the page to the utter width of the page
• Carpress: Divider – for divider on the front page
• Carpress: Facebook – for FB like box in the footer
• Carpress: Latest Galleries – to display latest galleries
• Carpress: Latest News – to display latest news / blogposts
• Carpress: Opening time – to display timetable / opening time of the business – can be used above the slider
• Carpress: Our Services – to display the services on the front page
• Carpress: Testimonials – to display testimonials on the front page
• Carpress: Text with link
• Carpress: Title with Icon – Widget for the front page in the head

There are ten different sidebars associated with the theme (look at the pic above), so you can lightly determine how the different layout types will look like.

All the widgets can have the subtitle too. In the “Title” field just add the dual forward slash // and the text after the dual slash will be used as the subtitle. Example: Widget main title // This is a subtitle .

Free Repair Quote Widget

The contact form widget as seen on demo page is in fact the Contact Form seven shortcode in the widget Custom-built Width Text For Home Page.

1. Go to the Contact Form seven Plugin and create a fresh form
2. In the field Form paste the following code:
3. In the field Message assets paste the following code:
4. Do not leave behind to switch the other fields, especially where to send the email too.
5. Copy the code (which will look like [contact-form-7 id=”1381″ title=”Widget on the front page”] ) and paste in the widget called Custom-made Width Text For Home Page and set the number of columns to 6
6. That’s it!
