Attention! Unyson, LTE-Ext and Elementor plugins are necessary plugins for theme work. They are required to install!
Notice: if you want to use a child-theme, you can also upload the file calmes-child.zip in addition with the main Сalmes Theme. Child Theme allows you to add/modify CSS Stylesheet and functions without modifying main theme files. And you'll not lose your modifications after main theme update.

System Check (Like Themes menu).

This menu consists of two items: Like Themes and Theme Settings. The Theme Settings menu item is described in more detail in paragraph 4 of the left menu. The Like Themes menu item helps you check if your server configuration matches the theme requirements. This menu item also contains links to the main theme settings menus, a link to documentation, technical support contacts and links to technical support rules.
