Frequently Asked Questions

Import of the demo content failed or nothing happened, what should I do?
How can I change the text of the form?

The text of the form you can change/translate through the "FORQY" plugin translations.

Form doesn't send emails, what should I do?

Probably you have a problem with configuration of the PHP mail() (intended for sending emails) function on your server/hosting - as thousands of WordPress users. Therefore you will need to make some additional changes on your server or sending emails through the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).

You can try to set the SMTP server using the WP Mail SMTP plugin.

More information on https://wpforms.com/how-to-fix-wordpress-contact-form-not-sending-email-issue/.

How do I rearrange categories?

Any categories you can rearrange using the plugin "WP Term Order". You can install this plugin on "Appearance > Install Plugins" page or manually from WordPress Plugins. Then you can rearrange categories using drag-and-drop.

Before you start customizing

If you plan to make some modifications to the code of the theme, will be better to make them via the child theme. If you make modifications directly to the parent theme, you will lose them when the theme is updated. When you make modifications inside of the child theme instead, you can update the parent theme without losing any change you have made.

Child Theme you'll find in a "aidea-child.zip", which is included in a main downloaded package.

More information about child themes you can find in WordPress Codex - https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/.
