Theme Requirements

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

  1. WordPress 5.0 or higher.
  2. PHP 7 or greater. WordPress officially suggests to use PHP 7.2.
  3. MySQL 5.6 or greater.

Recommended PHP Limits

Many issues you may run into such as: white screen, demo content failures when importing, empty page content and other similar issues can be 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 = 120
memory_limit = 128M
post_max_size = 64M
upload_max_filesize = 64M
max_input_time = 60
max_input_vars = 3000
