IMPORTANT! We do not include theme-related .XD
files into the theme package, because it significantly increases the theme archive size. If you need those files, feel free to submit a support request.
By getting this WordPress Theme you get all the images FOR FREE. Moreover, you can use them on ANY OF YOUR PROJECTS!
The theme package contains a number of bundled plug-ins. Please click here to view the list of plug-ins that come included into the theme.
If a new version of a bundled plug-in is available, it will be included in the next theme release. You can also request it by submitting a support ticket.
Bundled plug-ins are fully functional without the activation using a registration license key. In case you are willing to receive automatic updates and support from the plug-in team, you will need to purchase the plug-in separately. Only the direct buyers get the plug-in license key.

To install this theme you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. Below are some useful links regarding WordPress information.
To use this theme you must be running at least WordPress 6.0, PHP 7.4 or higher (for WooCommerce plug-in WordPress 6.3+). If you use a hosting service with limited resources (e.g. GoDaddy!), you may experience issues with the "one-click" demo data installation.
We recommend that you contact your web hosting service provider to make sure that your server PHP configuration limits are as follows:
max_execution_time 600
memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 32M
If you are running unmanaged dedicated server or VPS,
you should check your php.ini
file. Alternatively, you can edit .htaccess
file in the root of your website and add the following values:
php_value max_execution_time 600
php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value post_max_size 32M
php_value upload_max_filesize 32M
Setting these values will ensure you will not get error messages during the installation. To safeguard your website, please use secure passwords and the latest version of WordPress and plug-ins.
Here is the list of web hosting service providers we recommend:
Before installing the theme, please make sure you unpacked the archive and extracted the theme files. Some of the folders names may slightly vary. Treat the screenshot below as an example only.
The main package contains archives with the main theme, child theme, documentation and bundled plug-ins.
If you try to install the wrong files, you will get the missing style.css error. This is the most common error that means you are trying to install an incorrect package.
In order to install the theme, you need to have a working version of WordPress installed on your server first. Check out this guide for detailed information on how to install WordPress. We also highly recommend updating your WordPress to the latest stable version.
Below you can find a video tutorial on how to install the theme.
There are 2 ways to install the theme:
streetstyle-blog.zip
file and ONLY use the extracted /streetstyle-blog
theme folder.
streetstyle-blog
theme folder into /wp-content/themes
.
streetstyle-blog.zip
folder and click Install Now button.
You can also watch our video tutorial on how to install a WordPress theme.
Attention! If you want to make changes in theme’s templates or functions, we strongly recommend activating a child theme before demo data installation. Please see the Child Theme section for more information.
The theme license allows you to install the theme on ONE domain only! In order to connect the license to a different domain, first click "Disconnect domain" (Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > General) and then re-enter the purchase key/token on a different WordPress installation. For Envato Elements, if you want to activate another theme or install the same theme on a new domain, please generate a new token (1 token = 1 domain). If you have any questions, please contact our support department.
Attention! Before any manipulations that will require re-entering the purchase key/Elements token even on the same domain (e.g: WordPress reinstallation or cleaning the database), please FIRST disconnect the domain!
Below is the list of the plug-ins that come included into the theme (Default skin).
Some of these plug-ins can also be installed from the WordPress.org repository.
PLEASE NOTE! Our theme is compatible with The GDPR Framework, Social Login (Discord, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn) – WordPress plug-in, though it is not included into the theme's package. You can install it yourself if needed.
IMPORTANT! Following the closure of the Easy Forms for MailChimp plug-in on December 15, 2023, and its unavailability for over three months, we have substituted it with MC4WP: MailChimp for WordPress. Presently, the "Easy Forms for MailChimp" plug-in is active. Users who have downloaded this plug-in can continue utilizing it, as all styles remain functional. For new users, the theme now offers demo content solely for the "MC4WP" plug-in!
You can find a detailed overview of each plug-in in the Plug-ins section of this documentation file.
There is only one required plug-in for proper theme functioning, and that is ThemeREX Addons. The rest of the plug-ins are recommended for installation, but not required.
To make the theme look exactly as on the demo page, you would need to install the recommended plug-ins:
In case you are running a shared hosting with limited resources (e.g. GoDaddy), we do recommend enabling only the essential plug-ins (e.g. ThemeREX Addons, Elementor) and disable the rest. Otherwise, it may significantly increase the memory consumption, which might lead to unwanted issues.
PLEASE NOTE! The installation and activation of bundled plug-ins run automatically. Anyway, if you have any issues, please extract plugins.zip
archive (from the theme package) and proceed with the plug-ins installation manually.
Our theme is compatible with Gutenberg page builder. You can create new pages using this editor, though you can still use pre-built custom header and footer layouts.
All existing demo pages and layouts are built through Elementor Page Builder and should be customized via Elementor ONLY.
PLEASE NOTE! It is possible to switch between the page builders. Please use One page builder for creating/customizing One particular page/post/layout.
If you want to make changes to the theme's files and functions, we strongly recommend installing a child theme. This ensures that your theme customizations stay in place after the theme update. If you are not planning to change the core theme files, you are free to skip this chapter.
IMPORTANT! Install the child theme before importing the demo data. Otherwise, all of your theme options will be reset.
A child theme is installed the same way you install a parent theme. Locate the streetstyle-blog-child.zip
file in the theme package and upload it via the WordPress admin panel. Alternatively, you can unzip it and upload via FTP (see main theme installation chapter).
Your child theme has its own functions.php
file. Use it to copy modified functions from the parent theme's functions.php
, or register new functions.
You can copy all files from the parent theme into the child theme except files located in the following folders:
/includes
/plugins
/theme-options
/theme-specifics
In the /front-page
folder, you can copy all files except front-page.options.php
.
If the file you want to edit is in one of these folders, you need to copy the required function from that file, and register it in the child theme's functions.php
.
The rest of the files can be copied and edited directly in the child theme folder.
When copying parent theme files into the child theme, preserve the original folder structure. Create respective folders and make sure that the file path is the same as in the parent theme.
Our theme includes a simple One-click demo data installation, which allows your site to look exactly as on the theme demo.
Before installing demo data, please make sure you have activated your theme copy (entered the purchase code or Envato Elements token in the WP Dashboard > Theme Panel > Theme Dashboard > General tab) and installed all the required plug-ins. Check the Plug-ins installation section for more information about the required plug-ins.
In case you do not have your Purchase Code, please navigate to your ThemeForest "Downloads" page and click on the theme download link. Check this guide for more details.
To generate Envato Elements token, follow the link from your WP admin panel. Please view this guide for more information.
IMPORTANT! Our theme supports RTL text direction (compatibility, without rtl-demo content)! Please FIRST choose the correct language in your WordPress settings (Dashboard > Settings > General > Site Language), then proceed with the demo data installation.
Our theme contains rtl styles. The page content should be manually adjusted for RTL text-direction using Elementor settings (e.g. changing the alignment of icons, etc).
In order to import the demo content go to Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > Theme Dashboard > Demo Data.
On the page that showed up set the required parameters.
When choosing the partial demo data import, the new content will be added to your existing data.
Although this will not overwrite your existing content, we still recommend backing up your website before doing this.
Note, that the pages are imported without the original images. Instead, the image placeholders are used. This is done to keep your existing content intact.
Import separate pages means that you receive the page structured like on our demo, just widgets set that requires further customization: you should replace demo categories/post ids with your own ones.
When choosing this option, all the existing content of your website will be lost and replaced with the new data. We recommend using this option for new WordPress installations only.
Use the full import option if you want to have an exact copy of the theme demo. It enables you to import all media files, pages, theme options, and plug-in settings.
Some plug-ins increase the memory consumption. For example, BuddyPress and bbPress (not included into the theme's package) require additional 60-80Mb
. If you are having trouble installing the demo data, deactivate massive plug-ins and try again.
In case demo data installation is stuck and you see "Error load data from the file ... " error message, you can manually install it by downloading the default.zip archive with demo data from our server. The archive should be unzipped. Then create demo/
folder in wp-content/themes/streetstyle-blog
directory and copy /default
folder to wp-content/themes/streetstyle-blog/demo
.
Treat the screenshot below as an example only. The list of folders inside a theme package may vary.
If the issue persists, please contact your hosting service provider to make sure that your server configuration meets the Theme Requirements. Otherwise, please refer your request to our support department.
upload_max_filesize
to 80M
.wp-content/themes
directory.memory_limit
. You can increase memory_limit
on your server in several ways, namely by editing:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');
memory_limit = 128M;
php_value memory_limit 128M;
mbstring PHP
function in server settings. The function is needed for some languages, such as Japanese, Chinese etc. In case you can not enable the settings, please contact the support team to get assistance with disabling the function in the theme.
wp-config.php
file and add the following lines after database information:
define( 'FS_METHOD', 'direct' );
define('FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0770);
define('FS_CHMOD_FILE', 0660);
max_execution_time 600
memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 32M
This step is required if you received a notification that a new version of the theme is available. You can see this information in Changelog section at the bottom of the item's details page.
Before you go ahead with the update make sure to backup your old theme's folder. Download it to your computer locally.
IMPORTANT! Theme version 2.0.0 is built using NEW page builder, that is why all old shortcodes ([trx_section], [trx_chat], [trx_columns], etc.) WILL NOT work any more. You should reassemble all existing content through Elementor page builder. In case you prefer WPBakery Page Builder, the set of shortcodes will be limited to default WPBakery Page Builder's shortcodes.
Please follow the steps below in order to update your version properly:
xml
file. Navigate to Tools (WP Database) > Export, choose "All content" and click on "Download Export file" button.wp-content/themes/streetstyle-blog

Settings of "Blog", "WooCommerce" and other groups may also override default/general settings available through Customizer.
Moreover, you can see the changes of the front-end right after the alterations - when the needed parameter is selected, without switching from admin to front-end each time. When you are done with the changes, you should click on Publish button at the top of the Customizer's side menu.

The theme allows you to assign color schemes to specific parts of your website. This is useful for highlighting certain areas and giving them a distinctive look.
The theme supports 2 color schemes - default (light) and dark.
Check this video tutorial for more information on how to customize color schemes.
IMPORTANT! Due to specifics of CSS rules, you are unable to assign a light color scheme to any website part, if the dark color scheme is enabled.
Here are the website parts to which you can assign color schemes:
IMPORTANT! The color scheme switcher works only if the colors are set through the theme styles (are inherited from Appearance > Customize > Colors settings) and NOT through a page builder.
For the light grey background you can use additional CSS class .alter_bg
to inherit the color from "Alter > Background color".
For the dark background just set "Dark" color scheme for a section/column.
For middle grey background color (#212227
) use a combination of "Dark" color scheme with CSS class .alter_bg
, like it is done here.
You can also assign color schemes for individual pages in the Theme Options > Colors panel of those pages.
Here you can customize the color schemes of your website.
Three additional buttons are available:
Select the color scheme you want to customize and choose one of 2 modes (editor types) - simple or advanced.
In a simple mode, you can customize the accent colors (link colors) of a theme. If you want to dig deeper, switch to the advanced mode. You can entirely change the theme colors.
Both modes contain the following groups of settings:
MAIN
The main color group of a website. Here you can find the following elements:
ALTER
Alter means alternative color group, mostly applied for sidebar and footer, if a color scheme is assigned to them and it coincides with the site color scheme (NOT inherited). This group of colors can also be applied to page widgets or blocks that are output on some background by default (the background is NOT added through the page builders). Alter colors include the same elements as the Main color group, plus two additional hover colors for border and background.
EXTRA
An additional color group for extra elements such as dropdowns, price blocks, table headers, blockquotes, etc.
As a rule, the text and background colors from the Extra group should contrast against the respective colors from the Main color group.
INVERSE (for advanced mode only)
Inverse elements are the elements that use the theme accent color (usually the main one) ("Link", "Accent 2", "Accent 3" options) as a background color. In this way, they get distinctive look and stand out from the rest of the content. You can apply these settings for buttons, blockquotes, dropdowns, etc.
INPUT (for advanced mode only)
Colors for form fields: input fields, text areas, select fields, etc.
In case the changes of the color schemes are not applied, please enable Debug mode (in Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > General tab) and save ThemeREX Addons settings.
Settings of this group allow you to specify additional custom styles.
This section covers the information about Pages in your website: included page templates, how to edit existing pages and add new ones.
You can import required pages, along with the page settings, using the Importer tool. Learn more about it in the Demo Content chapter.
To create a new page navigate to "Pages" dashboard menu item in your WordPress admin panel and click on Add new button.
Choose either "Blog Archive" (blog page) or "Default Template" (regular page) option in the Template sidebar. Check Posts pages article to find out more information on how to customize them.
Usually, the page consists of Sections, Columns, Widgets and some other elements that can be edited via Elementor. Before you start, please check the following tutorials:
Each page has a Theme Options panel, where you can specify custom page parameters.
In Theme Options, you can assign a different header/footer style, widgets set, body style, as well as many other options for each individual page.
These settings are applied to the page you are editing, and will overwrite the global settings specified in the Customizer.
Options Presets Group
Here you can save the page settings (for header, widgets, footer, etc.) as a preset template and duplicate these settings on a new page without checking the required options in each section of Theme Options panel (Content/Header/Footer/Colors). All you need to do is to apply the already created preset template on a new page by using control icons ("Apply selected preset"/"Create a new preset"/"Delete selected preset"). The tooltips for the icons will help you.
You can enable or disable the Theme Options panel in the Preferences > Panels in the top right corner of the WordPress admin.
Once you finished with building your page, assign it as a Homepage:
Alternatively, you can assign a page as a homepage in Appearance > Customize > Homepage Settings.
PLEASE NOTE! Default skin comes with the following Homepages.
Below you can find the screenshots of "Homepage 1" front-end with hotspots describing where you can customize content for a particular section and the "Theme Options" settings.
A color scheme switcher on our Default skin is enabled globally in Appearance > Customize > Colors settings.
IMPORTANT! The color scheme switcher works only if the colors are set through the theme styles (are inherited from Appearance > Customize > Colors settings) and NOT through Elementor page builder.
For the light grey background you can use additional CSS class .alter_bg
to inherit the color from "Alter > Background color".
For the dark background just set "Dark" color scheme for a section/column.
For middle grey background color (#212227
) use a combination of "Dark" color scheme with CSS class .alter_bg
, like it is done here.
In case you don't want to use the color scheme switcher on your website, you can also set or manage the background color/image for the page blocks in the Edit Section/Column > Style > Background tabs in the Elementor widgets panel.
"Edit Section/Column > Advanced > Position" settings in the Elementor widgets panel let page blocks overlap each other, the following parameters are available:
You can also set the entrance animation for page elements in Edit Section/any element > Advanced > Motion Effects.

Layouts is a tool that lets you create custom headers, footers, and other website sections, and is based on the Elementor Page Builder.
Layouts are available after you activate the ThemeREX Addons plug-in. After the activation, a new menu item appears in your WordPress admin panel.
Your theme comes with a number of pre-built Layouts. If you've imported the full content, they will be available for you from the start. Otherwise, you would need to generate them in Theme Panel > ThemeREX Addons > Theme Specific > Create Layouts.
In order to create a layout, navigate to Layouts (WP Dashboard) > Add New.
Layouts are built in a similar way you build regular pages with Elementor Page Builder. The difference is that Layouts expand the default list of widgets by adding layout-specific widgets and provide you with additional section settings.
Please check this article for detailed information regarding layouts customization.
You can also view our video tutorials about header and footer layouts customization.
When creating a Layout, first you need to specify the correct Layout type in the Item Options panel:
You can also choose a different Header/Footer Layout for a specific page. Simply open that page in the WordPress admin, and in the Theme Options > Header/Footer panel edit the Header Style and Footer Style settings.
Custom Layouts can be especially useful when you need to use the same section in different places on your website. Instead of building it from scratch on every new page, you can save it as a custom Layout and insert using a Layouts widget.
In order to add a custom Layout to a web page:
Blog Layout is just a scheme showing the position of post elements like featured image, post title, meta data, excerpt, etc. Use Blog Item Parts widget to output each element, like in the example below.
You can apply the blog layouts to:
In case there are some page fragments with more or less identical structure, you can create one layout using the Elementor Page Builder, save it as a template and use it as a foundation for your new Layout. Thus, there is no need to create a new layout or block each time. Please see this article for more information.
Open a Layout and click on the Add Template button from the editing screen (Elementor Page Builder's backend editor). Scroll down to view the available templates:
Layouts is a preferred way of creating a mobile header since it gives you flexibility and control over your elements. Creating a mobile header is similar to creating a standard header, except there are several features you should know about in order to use Layouts more efficiently. Please see the official elementor video tutorial or article for more information.
We recommend you to create separate custom header layout for mobile devices and specify it in the Appearance > Customize > Mobile section. This will improve the website loading speed on mobile devices.
Layout-specific widgets are additional widgets available for editing/creating layouts. They are especially useful for building headers and footers. You can find layout-specific widgets under the ThemeREX Addons Layouts group in the Elementor widgets panel.
Inserts any post parts (featured image, title, meta data, content, custom fields) to your custom page fragment. This widget outputs 1 post part at a time. If you want to create a page block with unique structure, just use as many "Blog Item Parts" widgets as you need and output post parts in any combination and in any quantity.
Displays a shopping cart icon (in case the WooCommerce plug-in is active). When clicked, the icon triggers a window with additional shopping details.
For narrow and normal row types, the cart displays the number of products in the cart, the sum total, and an icon label. The compact row type has a shopping cart with a product counter badge only.
Should be used for headers only. Displays a featured image of the current post/page. Often used in combination with the Title and Breadcrumbs widget.
The widget has to contain at least one element, otherwise the featured image would be hidden.
Inserts an icon and two text lines. It is possible to add a URL to the icon.
Inserts content in different ways, depending on the type of the layout:
Select which type of the layout to use in the layouts widget's content settings.

In order to add/customize the Privacy Policy link, navigate to Settings (WP Dashboard) > Privacy and specify the page that will be used as a Privacy Policy one.
PLEASE NOTE! In case you are planning to use the registration form without consent checkbox, just leave the "Text with Privacy Policy link" option empty in the Appearance > Customize > General section!
Inserts a logo (any image). In case there is no logo (both in layouts and in the Customizer), the theme displays the website title and description specified in Appearance > Customize > Logo & Site Identity.
Uploading Logo
The algorithm of our actions would be as follows:
IMPORTANT! Logo is available for editing for each particular layout. If no logo is selected in the Layouts: Logo widget, the initial logo from the Appearance > Customize > Logo & Site Identity will be used.

Moreover, you can let your visitors generate images/text or communicate with OpenAI via live chat (ask questions and get answers on any topics) directly from your website (if you have inserted the corresponding widgets/blocks into your web page). This add-on is still in development. New features will come soon.
Before you start, please navigate to Theme Panel (WP Dashboard) > ThemeREX Addons and find the "AI helper" section. Here, you can insert your own Open AI, Stable Diffusion API, and Stability AI tokens, choose the models for generating images, and specify the limitations for your customers to generate images/text from your website or set the limitations for chat requests (if you have inserted AI image/text generator form or AI chat to your web page). It's a PAID service!
Links for generating tokens:
O
- less random, 2
- creative, but more random.
If the Open AI models for generating images are not enough for you, you can use Stable Diffusion image generation models. Just enter your own Stable Diffusion token and set the available parameters. By default, we have activated 10+ models, though you can easily add new ones. The number of activated models is unlimited.
This list with Stable Diffusion models will appear in the "AI Helper Image Generator" Gutenberg block or Elementor widget ("ThemeREX Addons Elements" group) and in the WordPress Media Library Selector popup.
Our theme also supports Stability AI API for generating images.
The "AI Helper" add-on allows you to display an image generator form on your web page, using the "AI Helper Image Generator" Gutenberg block or Elementor widget ("ThemeREX Addons Elements" group).

Currently, Open AI Helper can:

, 512x512
, or 1024x1024

This add-on is embedded into the theme and can not be deactivated. The add-on enhances the Elementor functionality by adding "Background Text" parameters to Elementor sections (rows) helping you create background text lines and animate them when they enter the visible area of the window. You can also make this text "scroll", like in a news ticker. In this case, after the entrance animation, the background text starts scrolling continuously.
To decorate your theme, open your page through the Elementor page builder, find the page row (Elementor section) to which the "background text" functionality you would like to apply, and proceed to Edit Section > Style > Background Text in the Elementor widgets panel. Here you can specify the text, text color, font family, font size, text shadow, and other parameters for your background line.

This chapter is for those who whould like to speed up their websites and care about the page loading speed. There are a lot of different ways to make your website work faster, but we will focus on the plug-ins we have used on our demos, though they are not provided with the theme.
A lot of users access the website at the same time. This makes the server work slowly and takes more time to load the web page for each user. Caching is the way to store the current version of your web page on the server and prevent from sending requests to the server for each user each time.
Below you can find short description of the caching plug-in we have used on our demo as well as its main settings. Please feel free to play around with the plug-in's settings yourself in order to receive the better result.
PLEASE NOTE! There is no unique recommended configuration of the plug-in's settings, suitable for every website. The same settings can work differently on different websites. By default, some plug-ins can activate or disable the settings, depending on your individual WordPress setup and hosting. Please feel free to play around with the plug-in's settings yourself in order to receive the better result.
