We recommend the size of the logo be as follows – Width is 200 pixels. Height is 80 pixels (normal logo size).

How to translate the theme?

To translate the theme do the following:

  1. Download the Poedit program to start translating the theme. While there are other programs that you can use, for the sake of clarity and simplicity for this tutorial we will use Poedit. It’s free and you can download it from here. Then install it. That’s easy too. Just click next. Then … next. Then finish. And you’re done.
  2. Translate the .pot or .mo file that is included in the themes “languages” folder and upload to your theme folder inside of the languages folder. When you save the files, you must name them according to your language code. i.e. for English is en_EN.
  3. Tell WordPress what language to use. if you haven’t done so already, you’ll need to make sure your wp-config.php file matches your language files. For example, if you’re using a French translation, you’ll need to add the fr_FR.po and fr_FR.mo files to your theme folder, then set your language in wp-config.php, like this: define (‘WPLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);
  4. Save your wp-config.php file, upload it to your WordPress installation, and you are ready to go. By the way, your wp-config.php file is located in the main directory where all your core WordPress files are located.

If you not getting details from the above instructions, We recommend you to follow this video guides steps Wordpress Theme Language Translation - Guide Which is more effective way to translate themes using CodeStyling Localization plugin.

The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini

The default upload file size for WordPress is 2 MB, which is a problem if you want to upload a large media files. If you get this error, “The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini”, follow these steps:

  1. Locate the php.ini file inside the wp-admin directory (if you can’t find this file ask your server support)
  2. Find this line in the php.ini file “upload_max_filesize = 2M” and replace it with a higher value (e.g. “upload_max_filesize = 64M”)
  3. You may also want to increase your max post size. Look for this line in your php.ini file “post_max_size” and increase it as well.
  4. Save the changes to the file inside your wp-admin directory.

Try to upload again.

If you still have issues, look for this file in your root directory and make the same changes.

A better way (and if you do not want to mess up with code) is to use FTP to install the theme.
