Demo Installation failed - Only theme does not work fully

Hello support team,

i bought the Evolve theme and tried now two days to install it. I checked the "only theme" and the "demo" installation. First of all, the "only theme" work nearly perfect but e.g. the menu in the navigation does not work and I can't use shortcode in the "call us" block like you did in the demo. Although it shows icons when i put the Font-Awesome in the link box, it is alway vertical and does not work like in your demo. There are some smaller issues like problems with the portfolio items (hence, I'm missing some more information in the documentation). However I did nearly everything to get the "only theme" version working:


1. I copied profile/drupalexp_evolve/libraries to sites/all/libraries
2. I copied profile/drupalexp_evolve/modules/contrib to sites/all/module and enabled it in the module section
3. I copied profile/drupalexp_evolve/modules/drupalexp to sites/all/module and enabled it in the module section
4. Drupalexp and Evolve themes from profile/drupalexp_evolve/themes to sites/all/theme and set Evolve to default
 

If I understand everything correctly that is all I have to do. Well, I removed everything and wanted to try the demo version. I am able

1. to create the SQL query - the import works fine and creates the tables

2. copy the demo folder to my webspace

Hence, if I access my site www.domain.com/user I get always an error:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/abc/includes/lock.inc).

The password and the user are 100% correct - I checked that twice.

What should I do?

Thanks

Hello schneseb,

- About "only theme" installation:

With this mode, something must be config manually.

+ The menu in the navigation does not work 

=> You must go to http://YOURSITEURL.COM/admin/structure/block find block Dexp Dropdown Menu, click on configure and choose menu you need to show in Menu dropdown. After that, put this block to region Navigation

+ I can't use shortcode in the "call us" block like you did in the demo.

=> Have you enabled shortcode before? Please read shortcode section in the document for more detail

- About "demo" installation:

Your steps:

1. to create the SQL query - the import works fine and creates the tables

2. copy the demo folder to my webspace

It's NOT enough. You are missing step: Change the database info in sites/default/settings.php to match the database name, user and password for your new created database.

Please read section Full installation carefully for more detail.

Thank you.

Thank you. Now the "only theme" version works quite well. The demo version looks ugly - how ever, it works for me to build my site. I get also the menu working now.
