Compatibility

This Theme requires the following:

  • Latest version of WordPress
  • Genesis Framework version 2.8+
  • PHP version 5.6+ (Check with your web host for your server’s current version of PHP. Though this theme will work with PHP 5.6 and greater, we recommend using the latest version to prevent security issues on your site. See WordPress Requirements for more details.)

Plugins to Install

Below are all the plugins that are being used on the Theme demo. They are all optional, but if you’d like to set up your site like the demo, you’ll need to install and activate them before you begin.

You may substitute your favorite plugins for these if you wish.
