Theme Help
Installation
Download Skrollex .zip file from ThemeForest and unzip that file to your desktop. The skrollex.zip is used to install via WordPress. It is located inside downloaded .zip file.
You can install and activate Skrollex just like any WordPress theme, but Layers must be installed first. Layers is a free WordPress site builder. You must have Layers already installed, but it does not need to be activated.
We recommended to install the theme via FTP. If you get message while trying to upload the theme via Administration Panel: "Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again", it means that theme zip file is larger than max upload file size allowed in configuration of your server. Please either increase that limit or upload the theme via FTP.
Please make sure that your system meets minimal requirements:
- PHP 5.4 or newer
- Mysql 5.x
- WordPress 4.4.2 or newer
- Layers 1.5.5.

Important notes
Presets with site settings
If page preset named as "...: Page + Site Settings" then page will be created and also these Customizer settings will be changed: 'Site Settings / Colors', 'Site Settings / Fonts', 'Site Settings / Appearance / Site Border'.
Keep in mind that these changes will affect the entire site.
Editable Areas
Editable areas in SX Section are divided into three parts with a blue border. These parts differ only by default style of paragraph. This is done to make it easier to stick to the same structure in all sections. You can change paragraph style and use these parts arbitrarily.
