1. Are You Sure You Want To Do This?
If you get the “Are You Sure You Want To Do This” message when installing Vélo via WordPress, it means you have an upload file size limit. Install Vélo via FTP if this happens, or call your hosting company and ask them to increase the limit.
2. Upload size limit
If you get this message when you install our theme on localhost, here is a solution for you:
- Through php.ini file
Step 1 - Find the php.ini file on your host
Step 2 - Find the following lines and adjust the value. We suggest to change the upload file limit to 10M
- Through function.php
You may add the below mentioned code in the functions.php file of your theme
@ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '64M' );
@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '64M');
@ini_set( 'max_execution_time', '300' );
- Through .htaccess method
You may try modifying the existing .htaccess file in the root directory or creating a new one.
Add the following code in the existing or new htacess file:
php_value upload_max_filesize 64M
php_value post_max_size 64M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300

CHILD THEME
Vélo comes with a Child Theme. Simply install Vélo-Child.zip like a regular WordPress theme.
What is A Child Theme?
A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes allow you to modify, or add to the functionality of that parent theme. A child theme is the best, safest, and easiest way to modify an existing theme, whether you want to make a few tiny changes or extensive changes.
Instead of modifying the theme files directly, you can create a child theme and override within.
Why Use A Child Theme?
There are a few reasons why you would want to use a child theme:
- A WordPress child theme allows you to apply custom code changes to your site. Using a child theme ensures that all your customizations will not be overwritten even when you update the parent theme.
- If you modify code directly from a parent theme, then update the parent theme, your changes will be lost. Always use a child theme if you are modifying core code.
FONT ICONS
Follow these steps to know how to add different icons fonts to Vélo:
Step 1: Copy the icon fonts following the link: theme root / framework / k2ticon / inc / font. An icons fonts standard includes 4 files: your_font.eot, your_font.svg, your_font.ttf and your_font.woff
Step 2: Open file as link: root theme / framework / k2ticon / css / style.css to inform font-face and the whole css class for the new font. (Note to change the path to adapt). For example:
@font-face {
font-family: " your_font ";
src: url("../inc/font/ your_font.eot");
src: url("../inc/font/ your_font.eot#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"),
url("../inc/font/ your_font.woff") format("woff"),
url("../inc/font/ your_font.ttf") format("truetype"),
url("../inc/font/ your_font.svg") format("svg");
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
.icon-1 { content: “” }
.icon-2 { content: “” }
….
Step 3: Open file as the direction: theme root / framework / k2ticon / inc/ list.php and find line 729 to add new class of the new icon fonts
‘your_font ‘ => array(
‘icon-1’,
‘icon-2,
‘icon-3’
…
)
Step 4: Open file as the direction: theme root / framework / k2ticon / js / generator.js and find line 56, duplicate line 56-59 and then paste down
if ( selectedIcons == ‘your_font-icons-list' ) {
listIcons.hide();
jQuery( 'ul. your_font -icon-list' ).show();
}
Step 5: Open file as the direction: theme root / framework / k2ticon / k2ticon.php, find line 80 to paste the code down
Step 6: Done!. See the results!
Note: You can replace "your_font" by your own name
