To use this theme you must be running at least WordPress 5+, PHP 7.4+, MySQL 5 or higher. If you use a hosting service with limited resources (e.g. GoDaddy!), you may experience issues with the theme setup wizard and demo import.
This isn’t required but for hosting we recommend getting Cloudways with Digital Ocean, it’s the same platform all of our demos are on, easily scalable if needed, very-fast, free migration, and they have great customer support. You can spin up a 1GB server from them starting at $10/month and we have a coupon code for 20% off your first 2 months use “CONTEMPO20” on checkout.
Recommend that you contact your web hosting service provider to make sure that your server PHP configuration limits are as follows:
The max execution is high, but setting it to that number makes sure it never times out, after you’ve run the wizard you can change it back if you’d like, just ensure your host increases that setting to your server’s maximum.
If you are running a managed or unmanaged dedicated server or VPS, you should check your php.ini file. Alternatively, you can edit .htaccess file in the root of your website and add the following values:
You’ll also need to make sure your the /wp-content/ and /wp-content/uploads/ folders are writable by setting permissions to 755, easiest is to ask your hosting provider for assistance on that or refer to this article.
Setting these values will ensure you will not get any errors during the installation. To safeguard your website, please use secure passwords and the latest version of WordPress and plug-ins.
In order to receive updates and support your purchase code is required, you’ll be asked for this during the initial setup wizard or you can enter it later & manage the license via your WordPress admin > Appearance > Theme License panel.
If for some reason your host has low upload limits on your server, use the steps below to manually install the theme.
The theme comes with two modes, Multi & Single Listing. Which can be selected in Real Estate 7 Options > General Settings > Multi-Listing or Single Listing Mode. Multi is just as its states and Single is tailored toward a landing page type site to feature one specific listing (no navigation or other pages used).
