Theme Requirements

To use Valom, make sure your hosting provider is running the following software:

  1. WordPress 5.0 or higher.
  2. PHP 7.4 or greater. WordPress officially suggests to use PHP update version. We recommended to use PHP 8.1

Recommended PHP Limits

Many issues that you may run into such as: white screen, demo content fails when importing, empty page content and other similar issues are all related to low PHP configuration limits. The solution is to increase the PHP limits. You can do this on your own, or contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:

  • max_execution_time 500
  • memory_limit 128M
  • post_max_size 64M
  • upload_max_filesize 32M
  • max_input_time = 500
  • max_input_vars = 3000

Also consider upgrading your PHP version to the latest version, the newer the better.
