Rise & Shine
Installation GuideThank you!
From all of us at Elegant Child Themes, thank you for purchasing Rise & Shine! This is by far our most aggressive child theme to date and we’ve spent a lot of time pushing the Divi envelope to deliver an awesome, feature packed design that you and/or your clients will love! Not to mention it will save you countless time and money in the process. Just follow the steps below to install Rise & Shine and if at any point you have any questions, just shoot us an email and we’ll be happy to help.
Before we go any further, please note that Rise & Shine was built specifically for use with Divi by Elegant Themes. In order to install this child theme, you must first purchase a membership to Elegant Themes and download the Divi theme package. If you’ve not yet purchased a membership, visit http://elegantthemes.com. Ok, let’s get started!
Installation Instructions
Step 1: Installing the child theme
Just like you installed the Divi parent theme, install & activate the RiseandShineChildTheme.zip child theme located in your Rise & Shine download package.
Step 2: Installing the plugins
On the next screen, install & activate the necessary plugins. You may be prompted to setup WooCommerce if it’s not already installed. Just follow the prompts to complete the setup. Once all of your plugins have been installed and activated, you’re good to go!
Step 3: Importing the sample content & library
Once the importer plugin has been installed, click the Tools > Import > WordPress link again to open the importer. You will see an option to upload an XML file. Click the “Choose File” link and locate the riseandshine-content.xml file from the Import folder of your Rise & Shine download package. Complete the import dialog to finalize the import and add all pages, posts & content.
Before leaving the import page, you’ll want to import the Divi Library as well. Just as before, click the “Choose File” link and located the riseandshine-library.xml file and complete the import to add the items to your library.
Visit Pages or Posts to confirm that your sample content has been imported. Also visit the Divi > Divi Library page to confirm that your library items have been imported.
Step 4: Import the Customizer Settings
To import these options and set up your Customizer like the demo, be sure that you’ve successfully installed and activated the Customizer Export/Import WordPress plugin (via Step 2). After installing and activating the plugin, go to Divi > Theme Customizer and look for the Export/Import section – typically located at the bottom of the screen.
Click to find the riseandshine-customizer.dat file and add that file into the uploader within the Export/Import section of the Theme Customizer and press the “Import” button.
Customizing Rise & Shine
Split Columns
To replace the image, go to the row module settings > Advanced Design Settings and choose a new column background.
To replace the content, simply open up the text module and edit as needed.
Restaurant Menus

The first row module is made up of the split column section, similar to the layout featured on the homepage.
To replace the image, go to the row module settings > Advanced Design Settings and choose a new column background.
To replace the content, simply open up the text module and edit as needed.
The next row module is a what we call, the “Flyover Menu”. This is an overlay screen that appears when you click the “View Menu” button in each menu section.
Divi shortcodes are used to display the menu in a 2-column layout. For a list of all shortcodes available, click here.
There are also several neat effects that you can achieve by altering the classes over the flyover menu. You can preview each effect by clicking the View Menu button on the different menus of the Rise & Shine demo. Below is a complete list of effects that can be achieved by adding it as a class in the flyover menu row module:
open-fade-in
scroll-from-top
scroll-from-right
scroll-from-left
Be sure not to remove the fw-menu class as this will break the functionality of the menu overlay.

FAQ’s
Why am I seeing a white bar instead of the menu?
It appears that Divi 2.5.9 introduced a change to the way a transparent menu is displayed. We think this is a bug that will be fixed in a future release, but in the interim adding this css to your ePanel or style.css will fix the problem:
.et_pb_pagebuilder_layout #page-container { padding-top: 0!important; }
I'm seeing weird characters in my mobile menu instead of actual text!
Elegant Themes made a change in a recent Divi update that overrides the default mobile menu font. This can be easily fixed by adding “!important” to the following selectors under Appearance > Editor > style.css. Just search for the 2 styles below and add this to the font-family, as follows:
#et_mobile_nav_menu .mobile_nav.closed .mobile_menu_bar:before {
font-family: ‘Montserrat’, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif !important;
}
#et_mobile_nav_menu .mobile_nav.opened .mobile_menu_bar:before {
font-family: ‘Montserrat’, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif !important;
}
I have the Recipe Plugin installed but I'm not seeing any recipes?
Unfortunately, there’s not a way to export our sample recipe along with our content.xml. Here’s a snapshot of our demo recipe to use as a guide, but it should be fairly self-explanatory how to add your own recipes. If you have any questions, please refer to the Recipe Card plugin page for more details: https://wordpress.org/plugins/recipe-card/
My menu headers aren't displaying correctly... the border is showing through for some reason.
In some newer versions of Divi, the original “span” used to display the header is removed when the module is saved. If you update to the latest version of Divi, we’ve fixed this already, but if you’d rather just implement the change, here’s how.
Just go to Appearance > Editor > style.css and scroll until you get to the Menu section. Copy and paste the attached section in place of what you have. Just be sure not to remove anything other than this section in the css. And as we always recommend, be sure to save a backup of your stylesheet before making this change, just in case!

.fw-menu h3 { font-family: 'mustacheregular', Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 60px; line-height: 0; margin: 20px 0 40px; }
.fw-menu h3:before, .fw-menu h3:after { background-color: #dfa91f; /* Set your left & right border colors here */ content: ""; display: inline-block; height: 2px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 50%; } .fw-menu h3:before { right: 0.5em; margin-left: -50%; } .fw-menu h3:after { left: 0.5em; margin-right: -50%; }
.fw-menu .one_half strong { display: block; }
.fw-menu .et_pb_column { border-right: 0!important; }
My last navigation linke has no left padding for some reason
If you’re seeing this, then you’re likely not using a shopping cart. This is an easy fix though, just go to Appearance > Editor > style.css and search for the following class. Either remove it altogether or comment it out like so: /* Code Here */
@media only screen and (min-width: 981px) { #top-menu > li:nth-last-child(2) { padding-right: 0; } }
My login screen isn't transparent and the text/links are dark
We’ve fixed this in a recently released version of Rise & Shine, but you can also fix this by going to Plugins > Editor > Divi Login > login-styles.css. Just modify the following lines to fix the problem. You’re simply adding !important to the 2 styles listed below:
—
.login label, .login #nav a, .login #backtoblog a { color: #fff !important; text-transform: uppercase; }
.login form { margin-top: 20px; margin-left: 0; padding: 0; background: transparent !important; -webkit-box-shadow: none; box-shadow: none; }
How can I increase the height of the menu overlay?
By default, the max height of the menu is set to 2000px. If you would like to increase the height of the menu, simply go to Appearance > Editor > menus.css and search for the class .fw-menu.open. Increase the max-height selector to whatever px height you’d like and hit save. You’re good to go!
