First please import all the slides from a folder DemoContent/Revoslides using Revoslider import

• Documentation: slider-revolution-documentation
• Video tutorials: On youtube

If you are unfamiliar with this awesome plugin, we recommend that you use the online documentation

You can use these plugins with the irepair theme and you are fully compliant with the Envato’s policy, but you cannot activate them as the owner (so don't try to use the irepair purchase code to activate one of these plugins).

When you purchase a theme from ThemeForest that bundles Visual Composer and Revolution Slider, you are free to use these Premium plugins with the theme. However, your irepair purchase does not give you individual Visual Composer and Revolution Slider licenses that allow you to activate or download these plugins as you wish. Activation doesn’t mean the plugin will not work but only that you cannot receive direct updates. Please don't worry if you see warning messages about the plugin license activation.

• Navigate to the Plugins menu in your WordPress admin area.
• Deactivate revolution slider, delete it
• Go to Install Required Plugins
• Upload and install the new version
• Activate slider.

Appearance - Customizer - Additional CSS. Here you can add your own code to override the styles.

If you don't know anything about СSS and web pages, before doing anything with this template I recommend you to take at least some basic tutorial or hire somebody experienced to do this.

As for tutorials we recommend w3schools.com

You can now enable the Auto-Updating feature for irepair. To do this, please first make sure that you have the Envato WordPress Toolkit plugin installed. If you haven't already installed this plugin, you should see a notification on the top of your Dashboard stating that some required plugins haven't been installed or activated. Install and activate all of the required plugins, including the Envato WordPress Toolkit.

After you have installed and activated the Envato WordPress Toolkit, please go to Envato Toolkit from your dashboard and enter your Marketplace Username and API Key. You can find your API Key by logging into your profile on Themeforest and navigating to Profile > Settings > API Keys.

When you have entered your Marketplace Username and API Key and clicked Save Settings, a new tab will appear at the top of the screen named "Themes". Click on this tab to see all the themes you have purchased. If there is an update available for a theme, you will be notified here. To update your theme, just click on the "Update Automatically" link.

Please note that each time you use the Auto-Update feature to update the theme, a backup file of the old version of the theme will be stored on your server in ".../wp-content/envato-backups".

You can update your theme manually by performing the following steps:

• Download the latest theme zip file from ThemeForest
• Extract it and locate irepair.zip
• Extract irepair.zip and locate the irepair folder
• Copy/Replace content of the irepair folder to the /wp-content/themes/irepair folder of your web site.

If you think your website takes too much time to load maybe you should.

1. Reduce the number of posts on the page
2. Reduce the number of unnecessary plugins
3. Use more icons and less images

Child Themes - Codex

irepair comes with a Child Theme.
Simply install irepair-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?

If you modify an existing theme and it is updated, your changes will be lost. With a child theme, you can update the parent theme (which might be important for security or functionality) and still keep your changes. It’s a great way to get started if you are just learning WordPress theme development.
