This theme has many template styles, and he has developed some that are compatible with Elementor and WPbakery These two page builders have many modules, so it is easy for us to build various types of independent websites.
Bridge theme introduction:
First of all, let’s enter the official site of this them, we can see that it will have some instructions. The demo in it contains 613 items. Of course, some of them are template styles for the entire site. There are Some are pages, and some are modules, but overall they are relatively rich. Then the other thing is that he developed some elements, which are modules of our independent website. These modules are also very unique. For example, we can directly use its built-in to create slides without borrowing some other slide plug-ins. In addition, it also has some other modules, which are all officially developed by him. They are very powerful. We just opened a demo site, which is a toc site.
The reason why I show you the toc site every time is because the tob site is relatively simpler than the toc site. If this theme can build a toc site, then it will be no problem for general tob sites. After we open it, we can see that the page inside is very rich, mainly because the style is very beautiful. When we open one of the products, we can also see that the style of the entire product page is also very beautiful, including its floating sidebar. , these are all available.
Bridge theme installation:
Below we will show you how to install and use this theme.
Here we have prepared a pure WordPress site. We go directly to the background and find the theme. after entering the theme we click to install a new theme. We are ready on the desktop. A theme file like Bridge contains Its latest version 30.0.1, and it also has its sub-themes. which also contains some plugins, these plug-ins actually after we install this theme, because of this theme we The GPL version is used, because this theme also follows the GPL agreement, so after installation, you can directly download its official plugin, we select the main program, and then click to open the installation. Good theme After the installation is successful, we proceed directly to activation.
Bridge plugins installation:
After the theme is activated, of course, we can browse our site, but now it cannot be used because it still has some necessary plug-ins that need to be installed, so we click to install the plug-in, and then here we can see two The first one is a plug-in that must be installed. The first one is its core module, and the second one is a slideshow.
Of course, because this theme itself has a slide function, we can install these two necessary things first, and wait until we use the slide to create it later. Slider Revolution, you can turn off this plug-in, check these two, and then install it. When he prompts that the installation is successful, we then go back to the plug-in and activate both of them.
After the plug-in is activated, we need to refresh the page. Now we can see that this is a slideshow plug-in we installed. This slideshow plug-in has been shared with you before. We can see that there are many more functions on the left. Of course, The reminder on it is still there, and some plug-ins may need to be installed. We will not install them here because we only need to install the necessary plug-ins, so other plug-ins will be used according to different themes.
When we import the theme style, if he needs to install this plug-in, we will install it again.
First of all, the first one we see is the panel of this theme. Here it has prompted us that this theme has been activated because it is a GPL version. The following is our system, and then the second one is a detail of our system. You can See our WordPress version, theme version, and some necessary plug-in versions, as well as our system version, you can ignore these for now.
Bridge data import:
Then the third one is import, which is to import its theme styles, which are the theme styles we see on its official website. Because our theme has been activated, we can choose what we like here in a moment. Theme style and then import it online.
Bridge theme settings:
Then the next one is the setting of this theme. It has many setting items and is very detailed, including the general setting logo, header, footer, etc, which can be set. We will explain it to you when using it.
There are two more below. One is the slideshow. This theme comes with a slideshow. You can add the slideshow here and call it on our independent page.
The second one is a carousel image. We also call it a carousel. It is a module that can be played by clicking left and right, but the module here is more inclined to scroll, for example, our products or several modules. It’s not like a slideshow, which normally scrolls through a picture.
Of course, this theme also adds some other functions. For example, we can see that there is a customer testimonial and customer evaluation. You can also add modules.
The other one is the portfolio, which we call an atlas or a project case. Such a module is good. After the theme is installed successfully, we will use its theme style. This is also a process for us to use business themes.
The reason why we use these business themes is because these business themes can help us quickly complete the creation of various basic pages of independent stations. For example, we see this case now, such as the homepage about page, and the shop page, including the shopping column cart, checkout page, etc. If we don’t use its style, we need to create each one separately.
So under normal circumstances, I suggest that if you use a business theme, you use its theme template directly, and then make modifications based on this template.
Bridge template import demo:
We can see that there are more than 600 theme styles here. We can choose one. For example, we find the store, and then in the store we choose a better-looking one, such as a template style like the one we saw on the demo site. It is a clothing store. Of course, you can import other pages. The main thing is to match them according to your needs. We will find one of them. Of course, its different theme styles will match different page builders, for example, below We can see that some of them support wpbakery, and some of them support two including Elementor. So here you can also choose the one you usually use. For example, if you like to use Elementor, you can find some themes and styles that it supports. However, Because the bridge theme is an old theme, everyone used wpbakery before. Elementor is a page builder plug-in developed in recent years. Here we will choose the one we just wore, and if we are used to it To use Elementor, we click Elementor, and it will prompt us to install some necessary plug-ins. Here we can click on the following plug-ins to install them, and then activate them after the installation is successful.
Then the same goes for the second one. You may not be able to use some of these plug-ins, but it doesn’t matter, because now we need to import its data, then we must meet the needs of its plug-ins, so we install it first. Go up. After we don’t need these functions later, we can just delete them.
After all the plug-ins have been successfully installed, we can import their styles, which are divided into several. The first one is to import all its data, including content modules and settings. Of course, you can also import it separately. Go to import. Again, this is a new site, so we will import all the style data.
Then the other one is whether to import its pictures and so on. By default, we choose to import them together, then click import, click OK, and it will start importing our data. Let’s wait a moment.
When it prompts that the import is successful, we can close this window, return to the front desk of our independent station, and refresh it.
Now we can see that a complete toc theme style has been imported, including slides, product lists below, categories, including some modules at the bottom, and we open one of the products.
You can also see the details of our products, our descriptions, and reviews, which are completely imported.
We can add this module to the shopping cart. In the shopping cart, we can see if its entire page style meets our needs. This is a regular shopping cart page. Then we enter the checkout page. This is On the checkout page, of course, we haven’t set its payment method yet, so we can’t see other information. In addition, we can also enter its message page, which is a list of all our products. In this way, we have completed the bridge like this A theme-style import, this is about the installation of the bridge theme and its method of data import.
