Installing Avux Child Theme

Requirements

Before we begin, make sure you have Divi installed on WordPress before installing this child theme. We recommend doing this on a fresh WordPress installation.

The Divi theme is not included in this package. To download Divi, you must have an Elegant Themes Membership.

The page links from buttons and logo are removed, so you need to relink those to the right pages.

Step 1

Download and unzip the ‘Avux_Child_Theme.zip’ file to your computer.

Step 2

In your WordPress dashboard navigate to Appearance > Themes and click on Add New.

Locate the avux.zip file in the Avux_Child_Theme folder on your computer and then click Install Now.

When the install is complete click on ‘Activate’, you will then see the Avux Child Theme as the active theme in your theme panel.

Step 3

After activating Avux, you will see at the top:

This theme recommends the following plugins: Sticky Menu (or Anything!) on Scroll, Surbma – Yoast Breadcrumb Shortcode, and Yoast SEO.

Begin installing these plugins by clicking on Begin installing plugins.

On the next screen, you need to check all the plugins and choose to install in the dropdown. Hit apply, and the progress will begin.

When the progress has finished click on “Return to Required Plugins Installer.”

Now you need to activate all the plugins.

Step 4

Go to Divi > Theme Options. Click on the import/export options (up/down arrow).
Click on Import and upload Avux Theme Options.json.

Go to Divi > Theme Builder. Click on the import/export options.
Click on Import and upload Avux Theme Builder Templates.json.

Go to Divi > Theme Customisation. Click on the import/export options (up/down arrow).
Click on Import and upload Avux Customizer Settings.json.

Go to Divi > Divi Library. Click on the import/export options.
Click on Import and upload Avux Builder Layouts.json.

Go to Settings > Sticky Menu (or Anything!)
In the sticky element field, add the following #stickybar

Go to the advanced settings tab and fill in the Z-index field 999

Step 5

Go to Pages > Add New. Give your page a name for example Home.

In the Divi Builder Click on Load from Library then click on Add From Library.

Here you will find all the pages from the demo. Load the Home page and publish it.

Don’t forget to add a menu and set the Home page as static.

Enable the breadcrumb option

For the breadcrumb, we are using the inbuilt function of the Yoast SEO plugin. To enable this feature, you do the following:

Go to SEO > Dashboard then click on features and enable the switch under Advanced settings pages. Click on save changes.

Now you can go to SEO > Advanced and enable the breadcrumbs

Changing colors

Most colors you can change inside the modules and customizer.

The colors that can’t be modified from the modules are:

• Border color (logo, address and phone)
• Menu background color
• Dropdown line color
• Big yellow 1 side border color (image) (home page)
• Blurbs border color (home page)
• Breadcrumbs

To change these colors go to appearance > editor.

Under CHANGE COLORS you can modify the color codes.
