The Fox Theme Documentation

Fastest Magazine Theme Ever — by WiThemes

Introduction

Requirements

This is a WordPress.org theme. To run it, you need:

  1. A domain name + a hosting.
  2. If your site is hosted by wordpress.com, you'll need Business Plan ($25/month) in order to install theme.

Install Theme

Install WordPress

Before installing The Fox theme, you must install WordPress. If you have already a WordPress installation and ready to run a theme, please skip this step.

Here’s a detail guide about installing WordPress

Install The Fox

Step 1: Download Fox theme from ThemeForest. After purchasing, please visit your download page to download it.

Please choose "Installable WordPress file only". In case you downloaded "All files and documentation", please unzip the package you'll find the actual theme file.

Step 2: Go to Your Site Dashboard > Appearance > Themes > Click Add New > Upload Theme then choose to upload fox.zip file. In short, you install it like any other WordPress theme if you have been familiar with installing theme.

Click to “Install Now”, wait for it to be uploaded completely. Then click to “Activate”.

Your theme now has been installed. You’ll see a “Fox Magazine” on the left menu. Click there, you’ll see a welcome screen with useful information to get started.

If you don’t see such a screen but you see something like “stylesheet is missing“, please read how to fix stylesheet is missing.

Activate Theme

Step 1: Download your license key.

Step 2: Go to Dashboard > Fox Magazine then enter your license code there.

Install Plugins

The Fox theme comes with a few plugins to for extra functionality. None of them is required for the them to work. Here's the list of plugins. You decide yourself to install them or not.

  • One Click Import Demo: This plugin is required to import demo. Hence you must install and activate it if you want to import demo data. After importing, you can remove it.
  • Contact Form 7: This plugin helps setting up contact form for your contact page.
  • WooCommerce: If you need a shop, install it. Otherwise, do not.
  • Instagram Feed: If you need to display an Instagram feed, install it.
  • Mailchimp For WP: If you need to display newsletter form, install it.
  • Post Views Counter: Track post views. From that you can display most viewed posts.

Import Demo Data

After installing, your site looks quite plain. Please go to Dashboard > Fox Magazine > Import Demo to select your preferred style. Please make sure you have installed and acticated the plugin One Click Import Demo. Otherwise, you won't see the Import Demo menu.

Step 1: Choose the demo you want then click Import Demo

Step 2: Click Continue & Import

Please wait for 2 - 5 minutes for the theme to pull demo content from server.

After importing, you'll see a congratulation message like this. It means the demo has been imported successfully. Now you can start customizing your site.

Option Panel

Some WordPress theme has Option Panel in the backend. The Fox uses built-in live Customizer. You go to Dashboard > Appearance > Customize to customize your site (logo, header, builder..)Even Homepage Builder is located in there.

Customizer Panel looks like that. Note that, you can search for options by using the search form over there. Just type what comes in your mind: Logo, heading font, body font, post title, excerpt length, archive layout.. This is an exclusive feature of The Fox theme (almost themes don't have this very convenient search functionality). You can use Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (MacOS) to start searcing.

Single Post

Single posts are posts in single view like this, not blog, category or archive view.

For single posts, we have 2 setting levels: Global settings in Customizer > Single Post and Local settings for each post when you edit it.

Global settings will apply to all posts while local settings apply to the current post. Local settings can override the global settings. For instance, if you set sidebar position to be "right" for all posts (global setting) but for the current post, you set it to be "left" then It'll display sidebar left for the current post.

Post Layouts

There are 7 post layouts to choose from. The layout 4 & 5 are called Hero posts because they have Big Hero Image in the header. You'll hear that term sometimes in Customizer or in this documentation. Layout 4 has fullscreen header image so it’s called Hero Full. Layout 5 is called Hero Half. Here's list layouts:

Single Post Layout: Go to Customize > Single Post > General to set the global post layout there.

Sidebar Position: Left, right or fullwidth (no sidebar)

Sidebar: This option allows you to set different sidebar for single posts. By default, single post displays "Main Sidebar". If you wan't to create more sidebars, you can go to Dashboard > Fox Magazine > Sidebar Manager

Note: All 3 options above can be overridden by each individual local post settings.

Single post header

Single post header possibly includes: post title, subtitle, date, category, author, share.. To customize components and their order, please go to Customize > Single Post > Single Header area. You can drag/drop to add, remove or reorder those components.

In this area, you can change single post title font or subtitle font. For other elements like Category, Post Date, Author.. they're call Post meta. They share same style with Blog post meta hence you can customize them in the panel Customize > Blog / Archive > Post meta

Subtitle: To add / change / remove subtitle, please edit your post and scroll down to Post Settings area below your post editor, you'll find an option for the subtitle.

Single post thumbnail

To show/hide post thumbnail, you can go to Customize > Single post > Single Thumbnail (globally) or go to Post Settings area below editor of each individual post.

The Fox theme supports several post formats: Video, Audio, Gallery that allows you to display more than just a featured image.

  1. Video Thumbnail, like YouTube video or your MP4 video. Edit post, go to Post Settings > Format Options, choose "Video".
  2. Audio Thumbnail, like Spotify, Soundcloud or some MP3 file: Edit post, go to Post Settings > Format Options, choose "Audio".
  3. Gallery Thumbnail: Edit post, go to Post Settings > Format Options, choose "Gallery". There're 7 gallery styles to choose from. Here we take an example of the image carousel layout.
    Note that you can display inside post content by using the shortcode [fox_gallery /] (and to avoid duplication of gallery, you can hide thumbnail for that post).

Thumbnail strech: There're few levels of thumbnail stretch and please keep in mind that sometimes, It doesn't stretch if there's no room to stretch. For instance, in this post, the thumbnail won't stretch no matter what value you set because there's no room for it to stretch. It won't stretch to overlap the sidebar.

Hero Post

Hero Posts are posts having layout 4 or 5. Layout 4 is called Hero Full. Layout 5 is called Hero Half.

Design Options

Choose Fonts

The Fox allows you to choose fonts from 3 sources:

  1. System fonts: Helvetica, Arial, Georgia..: They are built-in fonts so your site doesn't need to load. It increases site speed significantly. The down side is they're default fonts hence just bland.
  2. Google Fonts: Select any fonts from Google fonts directory. This is most popular option. The only down side is you have to load it from Google. Those fonts are hosted by Google.
  3. Upload your own fonts: Fox allows you to upload custom fonts. Those fonts are hosted by your site so you don't need it from Google. The down site is you need to prepare font files. But don't worry, everything is now ready, you just need to spend few minutes to set up.

Here's few things you need to know before choosing fonts for your site.

  1. The Fox predefined font system has 3 primary font positions: Body font, Heading font, Menu font and 2 custom font positions: Custom font 1, 2.
  2. To choose predefined fonts, please go to Dashboard > DESIGN > Choose Fonts
  3. Besides above positions, we have many other typography positions. You can change font for almost any elements: Post title, post meta, post excerpt, logo, tagline, single title, subtitle, Archive title, Archive description, Blockquote, Button, Input..
  4. For each position, you can choose font value to be some primary value like Body font, Heading font, Menu font or set it custom value from System fonts, Google font list or your uploaded font list.
  5. Normally, you should always choose it to be some primary font for 3 reasons. One is for performance. Loading too many fonts make your site slower. Another is for design principle, It won't let your site looking messy. Final reason is for synchronization. If you set "Post meta font" it to be "Heading font" for instance, then when you change heading font, it applies to all dependent positions and you don't need to change each position manually.

Upload Custom Fonts

The system font and Google font are obvious. You just choose them. Here's instructions how to use custom font upload.

Prepare font files: Fonts in this case are called "web fonts". Unlike fonts being used for design softwares with formats *ttf or *otf, webfonts require 2 file extensions: *woff and *woff2. For instance, if you want to use Futura font, you must prepare futura.woff and futura.woff2.

Now there's a lot of online web services to help you converting from *ttf or *otf or font formats you have into web fonts (ie. woff2 and woff). Please Google search the phrase "Webfont generator", you'll see many.

If you have different weights, eg. bold and light for Futura, you need to convert few times to get Futura_Bold.woff2 and Futura_Light.woff2 files.

Assume you have your font files already. Here's the steps:

  1. Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Custom Fonts, you'll upload your custom fonts there. For instance, here I have Ostrich Sans Black font I used transfonter.org to convert it into webfonts.
  2. Hit Add New Font
  3. Now go back to your Customizer > DESIGN > Choose fonts, you'll see the font "Ostrich Sans Black" appear there and ready for selecting.

Translate

The word "translate" may be vague. There are 2 intentions in this section:

  1. Translate your site from English to your language (German, French, Italian..)
  2. Build a multilingual website with various languages: En, De, Fr..

For each problem, we have a respective approach.

Translate The Theme

If your language is not English and you want to translate theme terms into your language, here's some options:

  • Quick Translation: The Fox has a Quick Translation panel right in Customizer for translating most important words: Next, Previous, More, Read More, Search, View all..
  • Full Translation: For full translation of the theme, you'll need to use a translation plugin such as LocoTranslate

1/ Quick Translate

To use Quick Translation, you simply go to Customize > Quick Translation, you'll see list of words you can translate there.

Note: It contains not all words of the theme hence if the word you need to translate is missing, you'll need to use a plugin (for instance, LocoTranslate below)

2/ Using LocoTranslate to translate all words

Here's the plugin guide. It works for all themes having *pot files, including The Fox.

Build Multilingual Site

Polylang is a free plugin to build a multilingual WordPress site and The Fox is compatible with Polylang. Hence in this section, we'll present a step-by-step guide how to make theme work with Polylang.

Step 1: Install Polylang and set up Polylang as its instruction.

Step 2: Go to Dashboard > Languages > Translation

Step 3: Click "View all group", you'll see an option named "Fox". Choose it, you'll see available strings that can be translated into other languages.

Child Theme

First, not everything needs a child theme. Do I need to use child theme? Please check FAQ section: Do I need child theme?. If you're sure that you'll need a child theme, here's the guide.

Here's sample Fox child theme. Please download it as a starting point for child theme.

Here's full official tutorial from WordPress about child theme. There you find how to install a child theme and how to use it. Fox Child Theme is no different from common discipline. The only worthy note about Fox Child Theme is about parent theme styling. If you're using Fox theme (ie. Parent Theme in this context) and you use some predefined demo or having certain customizations, you'll see after activating child theme, your settings will be lost. This problem happens because those settings are stored per theme, not per site, ie. those settings are attached to your parent theme and WordPress considers your parent theme and child theme are 2 different ones. And this happens for many themes that use theme_mods mechanism, not only The Fox theme.

To resolve this problem, please follow the following steps

  1. Install & Activate Customizer Export/Import plugin
  2. Reactivate your parent theme (ie. The Fox theme)
  3. Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Customize > Export/Import
  4. Click "Export" button, you'll get a file fox-export.dat
  5. Reactivate the child theme
  6. Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Customize > Export/Import again
  7. Upload file fox-export.dat file then hit "Import" button and wait. After that, all your settings will be restored.

Manage License

Here's some information about theme license and purchase code you need to know.

One purchase code can be used for 1 WordPress installation. It means:

  1. If your site is multisite, It's still ok. You need only 1 purchase code/license because It's 1 installation.
  2. If you have 1 domain, but you installed theme 2 times, for instance in yourdomain.com and yourdomain.com/sub-directory/, you'll need 2 licensed. In other words, you'll need to purchase the theme twice.

The license doesn't count if you have localhost installation or stagging site installation. However, we can only check localhost because It's clear that this is a developing site.

One license is being used for 1 site at one moment. You can change the domain and bring that license to use in the new domain. As long as at any time, number of your licenses = number of your currently active site.

To register license, please go to Dashboard > Fox Magazine. You also revoke/unregister your license there. The reason for unregistration is often when you want to use that license for different website (eg. you change domain or you move from stagging site to the live site).

Sometimes you can’t access to your website you used that purchase code (for instance, you deleted it or you can't access it for some reason, or you reinstalled it but forgot to revoke license) but you still want to revoke the purchase code to use for another site, then here's the solution.

  1. Visit WiThemes License Site.
  2. Login with username is your ThemeForest username and password is your purchase code. If you even forget your purchase code, please go to your download page to download the purchase code.
  3. Go to Dashboard > Purchase Codes. You’ll find your purchase code and your site info there.
  4. Click Trash to delete it
  5. Now, your purchase code has been revoked manually and you’ll be able to use that purchase code for any other site you want to.

Update Theme

Once purchased, you have lifetime free updates of The Fox theme. Here's something you need to know before updating.

  1. Your data won't never be lost: Your posts, pages, images will be safe under updates. Even when you switch themes or the theme being broken, those assests will be safe anyway.
  2. You should back up your data before updating, or even if you don't update, you still should back up your site (to avoid attack, malware or some plugins don't function well, a site works with many plugins not only theme alone)

There are 2 methods to update The Fox theme.

  1. Method 1:Using Envato Market plugin
  2. Method 2:Update Manually

Update by Envato Market Plugin

You purchased The Fox theme from Envato, the Envato Market plugin is a mean to manage all your themes and plugins, not only The Fox. After installing and setting up the plugin, from now on you'll receive update nag right in your backend like WordPress.org themes.

Here's the plugin page: https://www.envato.com/lp/market-plugin/. Please download it there, follow instructions to install it and after installing, you'll see set up instructions in the backend.

Update manually

Another method to update The Fox is to update it manually.

  1. Go to your download page, find Fox theme to download latest version.
  2. If you download the full package from ThemeForest, you must unzip it and find fox.zip file. That's the actual theme file. If you downloaded "installable WordPress only", skip this step.
  3. Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes > Upload Theme
  4. Upload the file you have just downloaded then hit Install Now.
  5. It’ll ask you if you want to replace current with uploaded or cancel & go back. Choose “Replace current with uploaded”. Now you have The Fox latest version.

Frequently Asked Question

Upgrade to Fox v6 Button

After updating to The Fox v6, you'll still see the button "Upgrade to FOX V6" like this:

and there's no difference in your site. This is because The Fox v6 is a major update hence you'll need to hit the button manually to ensure you did it when you have time, and you can revert when you find any problem with this version.

If you migrated from v5.x to v6, you'll have this mechansim to switch between 2 versions to ensure there's no problem with your update and you can revert anytime.

To finishing upgrading, just hit the button Upgrade to FOX v6, It'll bring you to a page with a button to update the theme to v6.

Why can't I support this?

Your website is like a house. A house contains many parts: ceiling, floor, furnitures.. and they come from different vendors. Similarly, your website includes theme + many plugins. Though the theme is most important part of your website, It's not the only part of your website. Sometimes the error comes from plugins. Sometimes from hosting provider, https configuration.. or some other reason.

We WiThemes is a theme vendor. We are not website administrator and we can only support things within theme scope. In case It's not the theme problem, It's out of our support scope. It's like if your house ceiling has problem, you should call a construction company instead of IKEA. Sometimes and very often we still help customers to spot problem and suggest customers where to get help or resolve it quickly if we know even It's out of our support scope. However, please keep in mind that It's not mandatory and we're not obliged to help in this situation.

And yes, if It's confirmed a theme bug, we'll definitely help and fix.

Importing Warnings

Sometimes, after importing process has been finished, you'll see warnings like: product not imported or elementor_library not imported. In this case, you can just skip them, no problem.

Do I need a child theme?

Not everyone needs a child theme. Sometimes, you may hear that using child theme to avoid losing customization after theme updates. It's true, but It's for PHP and CSS modification, not your settings in Customizer. Your site settings in Customizer won't be lost regardless you use child theme or not.

So you should use a child theme only when:

  1. You know how to use PHP code even in basic level.
  2. You need any custom modification at PHP level or heavy CSS level. For several lines of CSS, you can use Customizer > Additional CSS right in your Customizer.
