To use Megatron, you must be running WordPress 3.9 or higher, PHP5.4 or higher, and MySQL 5 or higher. We have tested it with Mac, Windows and Linux. Below is a list of items you should ensure your host can comply with.
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:
Get the Megatron Theme installation package from your account(after login on Themeforest.net) at downloads page and save it to your computer.
Step 1 - Login to your Wordpress Dashboard
Step 2 - Go to Appearance > Themes. Click the Add New button or Add new theme link. (check screenshot below)
Step 3 - Click on the Upload Theme button. Locate "Megatron.zip" and click Install Now.
Step 4 - Click on the Activate button to activate Megatron. Congratulations, you have now activated Megatron! You can now proceed with Megatron's Plugin Installation.
Step 1 - Log into your Hosting server using an FTP client (like FileZilla or WinSCP).
Step 2 - Locate "Megatron.zip" that you found in your ThemeForest Package and unzip it somewhere on your hard drive. Once it is unzipped it will look like a folder named Megatron with all theme files in it.
Step 3 - Locate your Wordpress installation and upload the theme directory Megatron (you unzipped in the previous step) into ../wp-content/themes/ in your Wordpress installation.
Step 4 - Click on the Activate button to activate Megatron. Congratulations, you have now activated Megatron! You can now proceed with Megatron's Plugin Installation.
All plugins required have been zipped/already into your download package, so you only need to do is click on the "Begin installing plugins".
You should be navigated to the Install Required Plugin page, which shows a plugin list similar to this:
Next, Click on the checkbox beside "Plugin" label to select all plugins in the list.
Then choose "Install" from the drop-down list at the top and then click "Apply".

With Megatron, you can build a functioning website just by clicking a button and install our demo data or click 5.2.1 Create A New Page to step by step. Your Megatron installation will be set up with what we have on our demo website, and you can use it as a template to develop your own website.
Go to Appearance >> Install Demo Data menu
The progressing would be displayed on import status bars so you will know when it is finished and your data is ready.
DONE. Now, you can visit your website to view demo.
You can create any number of pages with content. Our theme includes several page templates to choose from, and you will need to choose the page template that suits your needs. All of this is done in the pages section of your WordPress admin.
If you DID NOT One Click Install Demo Data, you will need to MANUALLY CREATE your Home and other pages. Here’s how to build it:
Step 1 – Navigate to Pages in your admin sidebar and click Add New option.
Step 2 – Input a new name for your page, and click "BACKEND EDITOR"(must installed Visual Composer plugins).
Step 2.1 – Don't click "BACKEND EDITOR": only input content to area 3 then go to Step 3

Step 3 – Set your Parent page. It’s usually set to No Parent.
Step 4 – Set your page template from the Template dropdown list.
Step 5 – Content for your page goes in the editing field, use the Visual or Text editor. Page content is mainly built using Shortcodes. See the Shortcodes section for how to use them. You can also use our demo content, see the corresponding section of this document for the demo code of each page.
Next, you can publish this page and set it as your frontpage(8.1. Settings a static page as Home) in the Wordpress Settings panel.
Now you can start fiddling with Visual Composer to build your home page with any design that you like.
In case you don't have time for experience with it, you can switch to "Classic Mode" and use one of the shortcode sets provided below to build your frontshop based on one of the pre-made home page we offer.
To create a page similar to Homepage in our the demo, choose the Classic Mode and switch to the Text tab, then paste this code into the content of your page:
Paste one of these content into your Homepage, choose Template "Home Pages", then publish this page and set it as your frontpage(8.1. Settings a static page as Home) in the Wordpress Settings panel.
