Hi All,
I'm new to Rocket THemes, but am loving the demo sites and templates, that I purchased a 90 day membership, considering upgrade to 12 months.
Is there Step-by-Step tutorial instructions, on how to configure each template to look like the demo version?
I own a web business, and the reason I purchased was because the Demos all looked amazing... Now, how do I get my template (I have all themese for Wordpress) to look like that?
Any ideas, greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hi,
There isn't a step by step tutorial guide on how to achieve the demo look sorry, as we provide a rocketlauncher package which has the template demo already installed.
The best way would be to install the rocketlauncher on your localhost or a seperate url, and then go through the wordpress installation to see what settings were used and widget assignments to achieve the demo look.

OK, thanks for the reply.
Presummably this needs to happen on a clean installation, because I tried just installing the theme package (.zip) on a self-hosted WP installation, and in many cases depending on what theme -
It returns a error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes)
I have many themes (with RT, and without out) in my WP Admin - so an easy way would be to install RT theme, Granty framework, plug-ins etc. without doing a clean-installation...
How do I get past the error messages?

Hi there,
Rocket Launchers need a clean install as they include the Wordpress element as well.
All you need is hosting space and a clean database with a user and password then you are ready to go.
Please be aware that RocketLaunchers will only contain blank holding images due to copyright issues.
Hope this helps

Hello,
Thank you very much for the reply.
Yes, I have tried that a clean installation on a self-hosted site... with Rocket Launcher.
Everything loads correctly - installs fine, then upon changing a theme to something else - I receive error messages or warnings. Not sure why that is happening???
Also, when I try to save any setting in the Granty framework with 1 theme; the changes do not get saved; even after I push "save button".
Please help - any ideas?
Is there a problem on the server? I have all the required settings, php, etc. but wondered about the "mod_" function? Please tell if that is necessary, and what those mod_ features do on the server.
Thank you, await your reply.
Really want RT to work, I own a web business.

Are you still getting this message?
"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) "
If so, you can "up" the memory limit in php.ini
64M or 128 M should be enough

Thank you for the replies...
I will start again on a fresh clean installation and try again.
I am still having trouble though, in particular when I change themes. Is this normal?
Does Rocket Themes provide refunds? I don't think so, but I will keep trying...

Yes, I would think so... Then why do I have problems?
I have ensured my server / hosting provider has all the requirements..
Please tell me what the "mod_" settings do... Do I need these enabled?
Safe mode is already turned on = on my server.
As owner of a web business, this is the only thing I can think of to stop RT from working correctly. Please advise of any other issues/problems that others have (might) have faced.
Things are NOT working as they should; and I really want to try and make it work.
Any other help greatly appreciated.

Hyst for your information, Safe mode should be turned OFF.
Also make sure that you have enabled PHP5 so it's not running PHP4 for some odd reason. - Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.
