About Elegant Themes Gleam WordPress Theme 2.8.13

Gleam is a WordPress theme from Elegant Themes, and the listing says it was built to dazzle. It describes flashy effects and smooth ajax loading techniques, which load content without a full page refresh. The store files it under premium themes and blog, news and magazine categories.

That makes it an option for a site that wants motion and a more showy feel than a plain blog. The file on record is version 2.8.13 and dates from August 2017. Test it with your current WordPress and PHP on a staging site, especially the ajax loading. The listing doesn't state page templates or settings; check the documentation in the package.

How to install Elegant Themes Gleam WordPress Theme 2.8.13

1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
2
Find the installable theme zip
Theme packages often bundle the theme, a child theme, plugins and docs. The installable theme is the zip that has style.css at its top level.
3
Upload it to WordPress
Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme → Upload Theme, choose the theme zip, then Install Now and Activate.
4
Install the recommended plugins
Most premium themes show a notice listing their required plugins. Install those before importing any demo content.

Getting started: using Elegant Themes Gleam WordPress Theme 2.8.13

Test on a staging site. The file dates from 2017, so install it on a copy of your site first.
Activate and open the theme options. Find the options page in the WordPress admin and review the settings.
Add content and menus. Publish a few posts, set up a menu, and then browse the site.
Check ajax navigation. Click through pages and check that scripts, forms and analytics still run after each load.

Common problems and fixes

A plugin's script stops working after you click to another page

Why it happens: Ajax page loading swaps content without a full reload, so scripts that only run on first load may not run again.
How to fix it: Test each plugin, and turn the theme's ajax option off if it has one.

“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”

Why it happens: The full download package was uploaded instead of the theme zip inside it.
How to fix it: Unzip the package and upload the zip that contains style.css at its top level.

“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading

Why it happens: The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it: Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/themes with your host's file manager or SFTP.

Demo import stops part-way or times out

Why it happens: The server hits its execution-time or memory limit during the import.
How to fix it: Raise max_execution_time and memory_limit with your host, then re-run the importer; importing content, widgets and settings separately also helps.

Pages look broken right after activating

Why it happens: The theme's required plugins (page builder, theme core plugin) aren't installed yet.
How to fix it: Install and activate everything in the theme's required-plugins notice, then reload.
