The Brilliance comes with a Child Theme.
Simply install The Brilliance_Child.zip like a regular WordPress theme.
A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes allow you to modify, or add to the functionality of that parent theme. A child theme is the best, safest, and easiest way to modify an existing theme, whether you want to make a few tiny changes or extensive changes. Instead of modifying the theme files directly, you can create a child theme and override within.
There are a few reasons why you would want to use a child theme:
Child Themes - Codex
You can watch this video to know the way create a Child Theme.
You need to use a Child Theme only if you are making code customizations.
Updating the theme via WordPress is very similar to the install process via WordPress.
Follow the steps below to update your theme via WordPress:
Step 1 - Log into your WordPress Dashboard.
Step 2 - Go to Appearance > Themes.
Step 3 - Deactivate the The Brilliance Theme by simply activating a different theme. Once you activate a different theme, you can delete the The Brilliance theme.
Step 4 - Delete the The Brilliance Theme. Do not worry, your content will not be lost!
Step 5 - Then simply upload the new “The Brilliance.zip” file in the Appearance > Themes section. Click on the Install Themes tab at the top and choose to upload the zip file. You have this step explained in section: Theme Installation via WordPress.
Updating the theme via FTP is very similar to the install process via FTP.
Follow the steps below to update your theme via FTP:
Step 1 - Go to ../wp-content > themes
location on your server using a FTP client and backup your "The Brilliance"
theme folder by saving it to your computer, or you can choose to simply
delete it. Your content will not be lost.
Step 2 - Download the new version of The Brilliance theme from your Themeforest and retrieve The Brilliance folder by unpacking the zip that you download from Themeforest and The Brilliance_(version.number).zip.
Step 3 - Then simply drag and drop the new "The Brilliance" theme folder into ../wp-content > themes location. Choose to “Replace” the current one if you did not delete it.
Step 4 - Log into your WordPress Dashboard, go to Appearance > Themes and activate the new The Brilliance theme.
There are several things you can do to speed up your website. First thing you need to do is consider adding a caching plugin to WordPress. We use and recommend W3 Total Cache. Another thing you can do is use a Content Delivery Network provider. We use and recommend MaxCDN (See our infographic about What is a CDN and Why you need it). You should also consider using a better web hosting provider. Shared hosts are usually slower. If you are receiving a lot of traffic, then you should consider moving to a VPS or a Dedicated server. Last but not least, check out our presentation about Maximizing Performance and Speeding up WordPress.
Yes, all you need to do is point the domain name to the hosting account.
There is no limit to the number of plugins you can install. However, too many plugins or even a few poorly coded plugins can slow your site down immensely, so it is important to install plugins correctly.
This most likely happens when you paste a code from a website with wrong formats. Sometimes the formatting error is done on the website where the code is available however most of the time, this error happens because you pasted the code on the wrong location. Unfortunately, you will not be able to make the edits using your wp-admin section. You will have to use FTP to login to your web host and modify your theme’s file.
Consider following our Beginner’s Guide to Pasting Code from the Web into WordPress.
We have written an extensive article on How to Install and Setup Google Analytics in WordPress. It is important to mention that you will NOT be able to install Google Analytics in your WordPress.com blog. They provide a built-in feature called WordPress.com Stats.
Embedding videos can add quite a bit of value to your blog and your content. Whether you want to use your own videos or just any video from YouTube or another video hosting site, you need to know how to embed videos within your posts.
The process is very simple and you can just post the URL for the video within the post. Make sure to put it where you would like it to show up. For more information about embedding videos in WordPress, check out our post about The Easiest Way to Embed Videos in WordPress.
Installing a copy of WordPress on your PC is possible. You can do this fairly easily, but you will need the right tools. Another thing to keep in mind, when you install WordPress on your PC, nobody will be able to see your website until you publish it with your own hosting account.
You can find out how to install WordPress on your PC without post called, A Quick Guide to Installing WordPress with WAMP on your Windows Computer.
Please take a look at this Article
Recommended PHP configuration limits are as follows:
You can verify your PHP configuration limits by installing a simple plugin found here. If you still cannot resolve the 500 error, talk with your web hosting support.
If you are installing your theme from the WordPress theme installer, but get a message that says "Are you sure you want to do this?", most likely your web server is configured with low PHP settings that only allow a certain size ZIP file to be uploaded via WP admin.
Most hosting companies configure their servers to only have the maximum file upload size limit at 8-10 MB, some are less. The The Brilliance theme ZIP is currently about 34 MB in size which is due to the included plugins and all the demo content. So if you get this error, your web server is rejecting the upload due to the overall size of the The Brilliance.zip file. WordPress is unfortunately giving you a rather ambiguous message in response. This is not a theme issue or bug.
There two ways to solve this problem.
Recommended PHP configureuration limits are as follows:
memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 32M
max_execution_time 600
