We assume that your WordPress website is already set up. The next step is to install the theme. To get started, download the full package from your Envato / ThemeForest Downloads page and locate the Kofejob theme.
The downloaded package contains:
- kofejob.zip – the installable parent theme file
- kofejob-child.zip – the child theme (use this for all customisations)
- documentation/ – this documentation
The Kofejob Core and Kofejob Widgets plugins are bundled inside the theme at kofejob/inc/tgm-activation-plugin/. They are registered and installed automatically via the TGM Plugin Activation library. You do not need to upload these plugins manually — WordPress will prompt you to install them as required plugins immediately after you activate the theme.
There are two ways to install the theme in your WordPress environment:
FTP Client:
You can use an FTP client (e.g., FileZilla) to upload the theme and plugins directly to your server.
Through WordPress Admin:
You can install it directly using the WordPress theme upload interface (recommended for most users).
Step 1:
Log into your web server with FTP client software (e.g., FileZilla).
Step 2:
Unzip the downloaded package. Locate kofejob.zip inside the package and unzip it to get the kofejob theme folder.
Step 3:
Upload the extracted kofejob theme folder to wp-content/themes/ on your server.
Step 4:
Activate the theme. Go to Appearance → Themes and click Activate on Kofejob.
Step 5 – Install bundled plugins via FTP:
The downloaded package includes a /kofejob/inc/tgm-plugin-activation/ folder containing the Kofejob Core and Kofejob Widgets plugin ZIPs. Unzip each and upload the extracted plugin folders to wp-content/plugins/. Then activate each plugin via Plugins → Installed Plugins in WordPress Admin.
Before you start importing the demo content, make sure you have installed all the required plugins so that the demo content imports properly. Install and activate each plugin one at a time in the order listed below.
Note: Install & Activate plugins one by one in the order shown.
| Plugin Name | Source | Version Tested | Free / Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| kofejob Core | Bundled inside theme — auto-prompted via TGM Plugin Activation (inc/tgm-activation-plugin/) |
1.0 | Bundled with theme |
| Kofejob Elementor | Bundled inside theme — auto-prompted via TGM Plugin Activation (inc/tgm-activation-plugin/) |
1.0 | Bundled with theme |
| Redux Framework | WordPress.org | 4.4.x | Free |
| WooCommerce | WordPress.org | 8.x | Free |
| Elementor | WordPress.org | 3.x | Free |
| One Click Demo Import | WordPress.org | 3.x | Free |
| Contact Form 7 | WordPress.org | 5.x | Free |
To import the demo, go to Appearance → Import Demo Data. Click Import Demo Data, then click the Import Demo button and wait a few minutes for the process to complete.
After importing the demo content, go to Elementor → Settings → Features Tab → Inline Font Icons and change the setting from DEFAULT to INACTIVE. This is required for icons to render correctly.
If the demo import times out or shows a white screen, try the following:
- Add
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );to yourwp-config.phpfile. - Ask your host to set
max_execution_timeto 300 or higher. - Re-run the import from Appearance → Import Demo Data.
- If images are missing after import, go to Tools → Import and re-run the media import.
The downloaded package is organised as follows. All custom modifications should be made in the kofejob-child theme — never edit the parent theme files directly, as they will be overwritten on update.

├── kofejob.zip ← Installable parent theme
├── kofejob-child.zip ← Installable child theme (use for all customisations)
└── documentation/ ← This documentationThe Kofejob Core and Kofejob Widgets plugins are bundled inside the theme at kofejob/inc/tgm-activation-plugin/. There is no separate plugins folder in the download package. After you activate the theme, WordPress will automatically display a prompt to install these required plugins via the TGM Plugin Activation library.
Never modify files inside the kofejob/ parent theme folder directly. Always use the kofejob-child theme or WordPress hooks/filters for customisations.
A child theme is required for any customisations you want to survive theme updates. The download package includes a pre-built child theme — kofejob-child.zip — which you should install and activate instead of modifying the parent theme directly.
Installing the Child Theme
- Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme.
- Upload
kofejob-child.zipand click Install Now. - Click Activate. The parent Kofejob theme must also be installed (but does not need to be active).

<?php
/**
* Kofejob Child Theme functions.php
*/
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'kofejob_child_enqueue_styles' );
function kofejob_child_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style(
'kofejob-parent-style',
get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css'
);

WooCommerce Version: This theme requires WooCommerce 8.0 or higher. All booking appointments are processed as WooCommerce cart items, allowing you to use any WooCommerce-compatible payment gateway.
How the Integration Works: When a customer completes the booking flow and clicks Add to Cart, the appointment details are attached to a WooCommerce cart item. The customer then proceeds through the standard WooCommerce checkout. On payment confirmation, the booking status is automatically updated to Confirmed and notification emails are dispatched.
Appointment Booking Process:
- Customer selects a service, staff member, date, and time slot.
- Customer clicks the Add to Cart button to add the appointment to the WooCommerce cart.
- Customer completes checkout using any configured payment gateway.
- On successful payment, the booking is confirmed and both the customer and staff receive a notification email.
Payment gateways can be configured under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments. Commonly used gateways:
- PayPal Standard – general information on PayPal payment setup.
- Stripe – general information on Stripe payment setup.
- Razorpay – general information on Razorpay payment setup.
This theme is compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). Ensure HPOS is enabled under WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → Features for best performance.
You can manage the wordpress language settings.
Step 1 : Please install Loco Translate Click here
Step 2 : Translate your theme
Step 3 : Translate your theme required plugins same like theme

You can enable RTL (Right to Left) layout by navigating to Settings → General in your WordPress dashboard.

1. Demo content import fails or times out
This is almost always a server resource limitation. Try the following:
- Add
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );to yourwp-config.phpbefore the line "That's all, stop editing!". - Ask your host to increase
max_execution_timeto 300 andupload_max_filesizeto 256M. - Ensure all 7 required plugins are installed and activated before running the import.
- Re-run the import from Appearance → Import Demo Data.
- If images are missing after import, go to Tools → Import → WordPress and re-run the WordPress importer choosing to download and import attachments.
2. Booking confirmation emails are not being sent
WordPress uses PHP's mail() function by default, which many hosts block. To fix this:
- Install a free SMTP plugin such as WP Mail SMTP.
- Configure it with your email provider's SMTP credentials (Gmail, SendGrid, Mailgun, etc.).
- Use the plugin's Test Email feature to confirm delivery.
- Check your spam folder — some hosts deliver to spam before SMTP is configured.
3. Payment is not processing / WooCommerce errors
- Confirm WooCommerce is installed and active (version 8.0 or higher).
- Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments and ensure at least one payment gateway is enabled and configured.
- If using Stripe, ensure your API keys are entered and the gateway is set to Live mode (not Test) for real transactions.
- Check WooCommerce → Status → Logs for error messages related to payment failures.
4. Booking or Dashboard pages return a 404 error
This is almost always a permalink issue. Fix it by:
- Going to Settings → Permalinks in WordPress Admin.
- Without changing any settings, click Save Changes. This flushes the rewrite rules.
- If the issue persists, confirm the correct page is assigned under Appearance → Theme Options → Service.
5. PHP memory or white screen errors
- Add
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );anddefine( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );towp-config.phpto enable logging. Check the log atwp-content/debug.log. - Increase PHP memory: add
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );towp-config.php. - Deactivate all non-DreamSalon plugins one by one to check for plugin conflicts.
- Switch temporarily to a default WordPress theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Four) to rule out theme-level conflicts.
6. Elementor icons not rendering correctly after demo import
Go to Elementor → Settings → Features Tab → Inline Font Icons and change the setting from DEFAULT to INACTIVE. This must be done after every demo import.
