Wow.
It appears you must be new here since this is your first post. If you’re having issues with someones theme and you want help from them, the best thing to do is at least be patient and respectful. No reason to get an attitude just because you don’t understand how something works. There are thousands of other people who use this theme and have had no problem setting this up. This is a Community Forum where like minded people help each other out.
Appfinite already has the exact instructions on how to setup the theme from scratch, it is located at the top of the Epik Forum here – https://appfinite.com/forum/epik-theme-support/ Each of the yellow sticky posts are tutorials and code snippets. Simply copy/paste the code and add it in a TEXT widget and it will show up on your homepage. It literally takes me a minute or two to setup a site to replicate the demo. Not sure how you could possibly have a difficult time copying/pasting code, but if you’re doing something wrong, let someone know, that’s the point of the forum.
Again, as he already mentioned, the CSS is already inside the theme, you’re not supposed to add the CSS if it’s already included in your theme. All you need to do is add the HTML inside of whichever TEXT widget you want to use. Drag a TEXT widget over to the widget area you want to use and paste the HTML that you copied from the tutorial inside of the widget. If you’re not sure how widgets work, then you may want to head over to the WordPress Codex, as this is a basic WordPress function that is available no matter which theme you use.
“What css? How do you add the html to the widget? no Github code (whatever that is) shows up no matter how many times I hit reload”
The github code is the HTML code that you see on the page. It’s the “Code Snippet” that they refer to……It’s literally the only code that you see on the entire page, you can’t miss it – http://i.imgur.com/hgJnKdr.png
Screenshot below –
The code inside the gray box is what you copy and paste inside of a TEXT widget.
“If you can’t give clear instructions to the people who have paid you money for this theme, just give a refund and I’ll go elsewhere”
Seriously? Have you not seen the code snippets I linked to above? It doesn’t get any more clear than that. You simply copy and paste. You don’t HAVE to use the code if you don’t want to, you can use any code, image, or text in any widget area you want. The demo, is only a DEMO, it’s only purpose is to show you what you can do with the theme. You don’t have to know how to code to use the theme, the code examples are examples. Like I said, you can add whatever you want in any widget area.
