14.1 - Setting up Contact Form

We are using plugin "Contact Form 7" for contact functionality. You can see their documentation for better understanding.

If you don't want to go through all the troubles to check their documentation and just want to use the default contact form we provided with this theme, please at least set up the default emails in contact form settings. (Because if you don't do that, all form submission emails will come to us instead of you). To do that, please follow the steps below:

Step 1: Navigate to Contact, and then click on Contact form 1 link.

Step 2: From this page, click on Mail tab. Here you should set your own email address where you want to receive user submitted forms. Then click on save button.

Step 3: Please submit some dummy forms from Contact page to make sure that it's working properly.

14.2 - Translating Theme

You can translate this theme to another language easily. You actually have to translate two things for your website to work properly: "Clenix" theme and "Clenix Core" plugin. This plugin plays a major role in theme functionality, so if you don't translate this plugin along with the theme you can't be able to get the full translation.

There are many tools available for translation. But the easiest way is to use plugin "Loco Translate". Using this plugin, you can literally translate any WordPress themes or plugins if it supports translation.

** Note: Please remember, if you update the theme later your translations might be gone if they are stored inside theme/plugin. So please keep a backup of Clenix theme and Clenix Core plugin first before updating theme. **

Here's a quick video tutorial about how to use Loco Translate:
