Hey y'all, I'm Kori Ashton and you have found
a video on a YouTube channel dedicated
to all things WordPress.
And today I'm gonna be showing you
a new theme that I've come across
in the WordPress community called Pearl.
Pretty outstanding, you guys.
I'm gonna show you how I went from this,
which is the 2016 theme, over to this
in just a matter of a couple of minutes
using one of their demos inside of this theme.
It comes with so many different demos,
so many different options.
I think you're gonna be really impressed
with the price tag as well.
So, again, this really cool lay out
in just a matter of a few clicks.
If you wanna see me do that, stick around
as I walk through Theme Review Thursday.
So here's some of the things I wanna show you,
some of the highlights.
This is just gonna be a very quick overview
as I'm bragging on this incredible theme.
Some of the highlights that I'm kinda
blown away with, watch this.
First of all, look at that price tag right there.
That might only be an introductory price tag
for a little bit longer so be sure to get this
as quickly as you can.
But for that value look what this thing comes with.
Not only the theme, but you have
all these different plugins
that they have gone out, purchased
the license for and added into this incredible package.
LayerSlider, Rev Slider, the visual composer
with two different add-ons.
A Custom Login, an Easy Social Share,
Ninja Popups, Woo Subscription if you're running a store.
And this one, I'm not seeing anyone do this one
so these guys are really cutting edge right now.
All the privacy policy and the cookie notifications
that you're having to put on your website right now
for your viewers to opt into,
this has a built-in solution for that.
I'll show you what that looks like
'cause it's a really cool add-on for the GDPR.
$276.00 worth of value all for right now at $39.00.
I know I sound like an infomercial for this
but I'm so excited.
I think you're really gonna connect with it too.
But let me show you some of the really cool features
that it has for that price tag.
One of the things it has is this Mega Menu option.
So let's say that you have a really advanced navigation
and you need to have columns.
This has it out of the box.
There's something else I've never seen before
is a drag and drop header.
So if you wanted your logo to be in the middle
it's no longer a click of the button
or figuring out code.
It's just simply grab it, drag it, drop it,
and it sits in the middle of your header.
You can put your menu down below.
All really cool, incredible features
that these guys thought of.
So really exciting.
The other thing I wanna show you are the demos.
So if you are a corporate company,
if you're healthcare, if you're construction,
if you're a start up, if you're in transportation,
medical, restaurant; the restaurant has a couple
of different options for the menu too,
different ways to lay out your menu.
There's so many different options in here.
You have a shopping cart in here,
a booking appointment in here.
This Charity one allows you to do fundraisers.
That's an incredible thing with a PayPal solution
already out of the box.
If you're trying to stream music,
there's a music, like a band template in here.
So, so many options and these guys
are constantly adding more so you might even see
some brand new ones if you're checking this out
a little bit later down the road.
But for the sake of now, I wanna show you
how I got to that transportation demo.
So that's what this one's called, Transportation.
I'm gonna get over here right now
and show you how to install that.
So you'd come to Themeforest, you'd purchase this,
you'd get a download zip file, right.
That has your theme inside of it.
You'd come back over to your testing ground
and go in your dashboard, and we're gonna go
to Appearance, and add in the new theme.
So we're gonna upload the theme.
And remember, once you get that zip file
you're gonna have to open it up.
So you just double click it, open it up,
and inside of there is the actual zipped theme itself.
Because these guys also give you
a trial theme if you needed that.
So all of those features kinda packed into one.
If I go too quickly, though, as this is installing,
remember you can always pause me and rewind me.
But they also have a very extensive library
of videos and documentation.
That's another way these guys have gone above and beyond.
And their support has been phenomenal.
As I've been reaching out and engaging with these guys
they've been so super quick to respond to me.
They have 24/7 live chat, that's pretty rare
when it comes to theme support for your WordPress install.
So here I go, I'm gonna activate.
And now the theme is here.
So the first step you need to do
is jump back over to Themeforest.
You could follow these step-by-step, very simple
to get your activation token.
It's just a long code, basically that says,
"Hey, I have permission to be using this."
So I'm gonna put it in there, click Submit,
it activates it, and now this theme
will show me all my updates for the theme
inside of my dashboard.
It's connected with my Themeforest account now.
So really great to do that,
super important that you do that.
So I know what demo I wanna use.
If you wanna tinker around with these,
you can click on any of these demos over here
and go into them, look at them, and see
what the inner pages look like,
and really experience what the navigation is.
Once you decide which one you want
you're just gonna come here to install demos,
and pick whichever one you want.
Scroll down through here.
They all live right here.
Personal Blog, Church, Lawyer, Factory,
Psychologist, Furniture store, Renovation,
Corporate, all sorts of really cool options.
And of course I wanted to use this Transportation one.
So I'm gonna import.
This is something I have never seen before.
These guys, I'm gonna go ahead and click setup
and let it start working
while I'm explaining what it's doing.
It's actually gonna go in and only install
the plugins that are required to run this demo.
That's super helpful.
It's not only gonna install them,
it's gonna go ahead and activate
each one of them so that I'm not having
to install everything and only use a few.
This specifically goes through and it's giving me
that WPBakery builder, the page builder
so I can drag and drop.
The Rev Slider's going in here,
Contact Form 7, Breadcrumbs, Recent Tweets,
and of course, the Demo content.
Now, remember, if you have Happy Forms
that you'd rather be using or Gravity Forms
that you'd rather be using,
you don't have to opt in
to use these specific things.
But because we're telling it, "Hey, I wanna use the demo."
it's gonna go ahead and load all this in for me.
So while that loads for a second,
I'm gonna pause, I'll be right back.
Okay, just like that.
It's already done.
You can see everything's imported,
activated and installed.
I can click here to view site,
it's gonna open it up and show me
everything that's already living here,
ready to go for me.
It's all active, it's all clickable,
it has all the inner pages already in place,
things are already working,
it's just ready to go for me.
So I could come in here now and click
at the top up here to edit
with the visual composer option, WPBakery,
where I can get in here right now
and make all my changes, all my edits
to the page easily and quickly on the fly
without having to know any code
for columns or any code for font sizes
or anything like that if I wanted
to make any changes to this.
Super easy, simple to do.
"What makes us special
(keyboard clicking)
"is teamwork."
That might be one word, let's see, teamwork.
Save changes, Save, see it right there,
Update, Done, close this.
Super simple to do.
You guys can change icons on the fly,
all the wording, fill in the blanks, super simple.
I told you, just a matter of clicks.
In just a few minutes and you've got
all the content living here.
Inner pages already there, ready to go.
So a super exciting resource for you.
Now, another way these guys go
kind of above and beyond amazing
is they're gonna give you some incredible options
on the back end of the dashboard.
So you can go into the customize area.
So if you really wanted to get in here
and just dig deep on everything,
you've got options for your header,
you've got, and that's that drag and drop area
I was telling you about
where you can move things easily and quickly.
And if you didn't want your social icons
in the header you just get rid of it.
Say, "OK, I'm ready to delete the item", done.
Click Submit and that changes in place.
You can change all of your colors.
Look at the typography options here.
This one is one really where authors forget
to let you have the flexibility.
All of your header fonts you can change
just on the fly here.
Colors, change them to anything you want them to be.
And you get to see an example of what they look like
as you make those changes.
So I love that feature, phenomenal feature.
These guys also give you options for certain pages.
You get to get in here and change your 404 page,
your general settings across the board.
They have 24 different layouts for your blog
so that your blog can look completely different
if you want it to.
Of course, if you have a shop area
where you have an e-commerce store,
they give you options here
for how those layouts happen.
Just incredible.
Plus, there's this section that would normally require
a lot of other plugins, different functionality,
Events calendar, Services, Testimonials, Success Stories,
all sorts of different options living here.
And you just toggle them on.
If you wanted to use Donations,
toggle it on, do your settings, click Submit,
and you're off and running
to have that feature inside of your website.
Truly these guys have thought of absolutely everything.
I'm so impressed with them.

in the description box below as well
so you can reach out to these guys.
I've been super impressed with this.

if you're watching this later on down the road.
Be sure they've got these strong reviews

and I will see y'all next week.
Bye everyone!
