I purchased Specular and Tower – I think I am going to use Tower.
I followed the directions to install the construction demo as my starting point, but after I do the restore. My site is not changing to match the look.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I set up the demo for you.
As you have clicked “Import dummy data” 8 times, you have the pages, menu items, posts, etc, multiplied. Just delete the unwanted ones.
I tried to set the main menu as main navigation menu, but it seems like you don’t have some permissions on host or don’t have enough memory.
You can set is manually. Please edit the file ‘tower/includes/view/menu-fullwidth.php’.
Replace all it’s content with this code: https://codeshare.io/ubWLJ
In this way the menu ‘main menu’ is set as main navigation.
Just delete the repeated pages. Or Keep only the ones you need to edit.
@baltrop Yes, of course. Do you want me to login and check it? Just write the credentials of an admin user in a private reply. Or if you are using the same header, you can follow the instructions above.
Sort of the same problem here. As I click to import the demo site and the dummy data, I do not see any progress bar for the import and nothing actually happens.
I tried to install the dummy data after disactivating all the plugins, and it worked, but still there is an error after import:
Error 524 Ray ID: 22f8a51aeae3024a • 2015-10-03 12:34:06 UTC
Tried to set the main navigation but 500 Internal Server Error.
Please contact you host provider about the issue. Or replace again the WP and Theme’s files via FTP.
Let us know. I will check it then, and set up the theme as shop demo.
I tried downloading on a windows machine. First, now I get everything packaged in a single zip file. And uploading it seems to be working a bit better.
On my mac, when I download the theme I get a folder (not a zip file) that I upload on my site using FTP. I think the problem lies there (either on your distribution or on mac compatibility).
Ruco, Could you please check and give me a solution that works for mac (that is what I will be using 99,99% of the time)
You must zip the folder ‘tower’ into the downloaded file from themeforest, or download only the installabe files (themeforest -> your account -> Downloads)
This is the file you should upload to themes.
Or go to FTP account -> wp-content/themes/. Here upload ‘tower’ folder and replace it. (without zipping it).
I have already managed to install it from a windows machine. The meaning of my question is, since I am using mac 99% of the time and I can guarantee you that downloading the folder to the FTP method is the only one available for a mac user and it doesn’t work as you could notice on my website, how should i do in future releases/updates?
I imported the Construction demo data successfully. I imported the main slider and some of the images too. You can import other sliders from your downloadable main folder\sliders (themeforest-11941335-tower-businessdriven-multipurpose-wp-theme\sliders).
I setup the first main configurations, please continue with further customization.
As for the child theme, that comes included in main theme folder. When you install theme for the first time, it uploads child theme too. I already imported that too.
going back to the issue I had with downloading the theme zip file on mac, the issue I faced was due to the safe downloading option on safari >preference>general. you have to uncheck it in order to be able to download the zip file.
Hope this will save time for anybody facing the same issue i faced.
