Thank you for purchasing our plugin. We're as excited as you are about the possibilities before you. Finally, its going to be far less complicated to make your WordPress website pages look and feel the way you want them. We built this theme for everyone. It is perfect for newcomers to creating a WordPress site. Code is only poetry to people who know what it all means. To everyone else it is a strange and very foreign language. We get that and built everybody's requests right into the front end options. For all our seasoned WordPress pros, we know how frustrating it can be trying to finish a client's project. We think you're about to discover you can go from start to finish faster than ever and produce a smashing looking site in far less time than you ever thought possible.

Note: Be sure to refer to the information outlined in the following documentation for the autoRoyal theme while building your new site. We have explained much of what you need to know to create great looking pages easily using the features built into the theme with you in mind. If you cannot locate the answer here, sign up for our support forum. We do not answer support questions on ThemeForest neither via email.
