# Developer Guide
Child Theme Support
Corpox comes with a ready-to-use child theme included in the purchased files. Using a child theme is strongly recommended if you plan to customize theme code (PHP, CSS, or templates).

corpox-child.zipfile inside your purchased package. - Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes > Add New.
- Upload and activate Corpox Child.
- Your customizations can now be safely added to
functions.phporstyle.cssinside the child theme.

- Avoid direct edits to parent theme files to prevent losing changes after updates.
Developer Notes
- Minimum Requirements: PHP 7.4+, WordPress 6.0+

# Troubleshooting
If you face any issues with Corpox, follow these recommended steps before opening a support ticket.
1. Check System Requirements
Ensure that your server meets the minimum requirements listed in the System Requirements section. Most issues with demo import, theme installation, or saving Theme Options come from low PHP limits.
2. Verify Required Plugins
Make sure all required plugins are installed and active:
- Corpox Core (required)
- Elementor (required)
- Redux Framework (required)
- Contact Form 7 (optional, only if you need Contact Page)
3. Clear Cache
If you use a caching plugin or CDN, clear the cache after making changes. Some visual issues may simply be cached versions of your site.
4. Switch to Default Plugins & Theme
To rule out conflicts, temporarily disable other third-party plugins and check if the issue persists. You can also test with a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty-Four to confirm if the issue is related to Corpox.
5. Enable Debug Mode
Enable WP_DEBUG in your wp-config.php file to check for errors.
This can help you or our support team identify the root cause faster.
6. Reinstall Theme or Plugins
If you suspect a corrupted file, re-download Corpox from ThemeForest and reinstall. Do the same with Corpox Core and plugins.
# Backups
Regular backups are essential to protect your site from data loss due to updates, server issues, or accidental changes.
Recommended Backup Methods
- Plugin-based backups: Use popular plugins such as UpdraftPlus, BackWPup, or All-in-One WP Migration.
- Hosting provider backups: Many hosts provide daily or on-demand backups. Make sure to enable and test them.

Manual backups: Export the WordPress database via phpMyAdmin and download the
wp-contentfolder manually.
