Uray WordPress Theme Documentation

Get started

From the entire PhysCode team, we want to personally thank you for purchasing Uray WordPress Theme! We’re incredibly excited to get it into your hands, and we invite you to check out our documentation below. We strongly encourage all of our customers to register at our member center for access to tutorials, our member forum, updates, and more!

1. Download The Theme Package

In order to download the theme, log into your ThemeForest account and go to your account profile. Then click on the download link. This is where you will find all of your ThemeForest purchases. Find Uray theme, click on the download button and select.

  • Installable WordPress file only which you can upload when installing theme
  • All files & documentation (full zip folder). You will need to extract and locate the installable WordPress file to upload when installing theme

2. WordPress Information

To install this theme you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. You should ALWAYS be running the latest version of WordPress anyway; otherwise you put your whole site at risk for potential threats in case using an outdated version of WordPress.

If you need help installing WordPress, follow the instructions in WordPress Codex. Below are all the useful links for WordPress information.

3. Recommended PHP Configuration Limits

Many issues that you may run into such as; white screen, demo content fails when importing, empty page content and other similar issues are all related to low PHP configuration limits. The solution is to increase the PHP limits. You can do this on your own, or contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:


  • memory_limit: 128M
  • max_execution_time: 180
  • upload_max_filesize: 64M
  • post_max_size: 64M
  • PHP time limit: 300
  • PHP max input vars: 3000

Installation

After you download the package from ThemeForest, please unzip it. You’ll see a file called uray.zip, which needs to be uploaded and installed.

Important: One of the most common reasons people have issues is because they try uploading the full zip that includes demo content, theme, documentation…etc which displays the “The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.” error. Please make sure you upload only the theme which is called uray.zip.

Now that you made sure WordPress is up to date, you can install the theme, and there are two ways to install Uray, via WordPress or via FTP.

1. Install Uray via WordPress


Step 1 – Log into your WordPress website and go to Appearance > Themes and click Add New.

Step 2 – Click  Upload Theme.

Step 3 – Browse the uray.zip file on your computer and click Install Now.

Step 4 – After the theme was installed successfully, just click to activate it.

If you get the “Are You Sure You Want To Do This” message when installing uray.zip file via WordPress, it means you have an upload file size limit. You need to install the theme via FTP, or contact your hosting provider to increase the limit.

Install Uray via FTP


Step 1 – Unzip the uray.zip file, you’ll get a folder uray.

Step 2 – Log into your hosting space via an FTP software (Use a FTP client like FileZilla).

Step 3 – Upload that folder to wp-content/themes folder on your host.

Step 4  – Go to Appearance > Themes and activate the Uray theme.

02. How To Install Plugins Included


The theme included Visual Composer & Slider Revolution licensing plugin, we purchased it from Codecanyon and included it for free in the theme package without any issues. However, if you want automatic updates and support from the plugin developer, you need to purchase it separately (this is 100% optional). Because we are not allowed to include the license key for it, so you DO NOT have a purchase code for that plugin and you can’t enter anything in this field. If there is any update, we are accountable for updating the theme with the newest version of  this plugin.

After installing the Uray theme, you’ll see a notification on the top of the page that says the theme needs some plugins to function properly.

After clicking on “Begin installing plugins”, you will see the box below:

1. Check plugin button.

2. Select Install from the drop down list.

3. Click Apply button to Install all plugins.

The installation process may take few minutes, so please be patience. All installations have been completed.
