Theme Hooks System

You are basically allowed to add your own code wherever you like, without actually modifying theme core files.

Adding my own code and not modifying theme core files?

Yes, you may add your own code without touching theme core files.  This is really great if you want to add your own code to theme and still remain its structure for future updates, which usually come at least once a month.

How?

  1. Go to Custom editor under your theme options tab.
  2. Explore custom/custom_functions.php file, where you may remove existing or add your own actions. List of all theme actions may be found under lib_theme/theme_hooks.php and lib_frame/frame_hooks.php files.
  3. To impose custom CSS styles, please use custom.css. We recommend using theme design control administration panel for that purpose.
  4. That’s it!

Translations

If you are familiar with WordPress and the many plugins and themes available for it, you’ve probably come across some strangely named files like .mo, .po, and .pot. This file explains how to take a .po file that is included with this theme and translate it into your native language.

## SUMMARIZED INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Download a gettext file editor like poedit and install it.
  2. Open the English .po file that came with this theme (custom/lang/en_EN.po).
  3. Now go through it and translate all the text one line at a time in the bottom box.
  4. hen ‘File’ => ‘Save as’ to ‘custom/lang/’ folder, where .po file is located. This will output a .po and .mo file.
  5. 5. Open wp-config.php, located in WordPress root directory and search for this line of code: define (‘WPLANG’, ”); Add your own country code, Brasil as an example: define (‘WPLANG’, ‘pt_BR’);
  6. Add the same country code to .mo file you’ve saved in ‘custom/lang/’ folder. Example for Brasil: pt_BR.mo
  7. 6. You’re done!

You may also rename the theme if you like, which is great if you’re designing a site for your clients and want to put custom theme name on top of your work.
