LT Margina FAQ

Which WordPress version do I need?

WordPress 6.6 or newer (tested up to 7.1) and PHP 7.4 or newer. It is a block theme, so you edit everything in Appearance → Editor.

What is the difference between Free, Pro Standard and Pro Unlimited?

Free is the theme package: templates, header and footer, fonts and all 4 colour styles, with a small credit link in the footer. Build your own pages, or install it on an existing website and keep your content. Pro Standard adds the ready-made homepage, 16 section patterns and the Events, About and Contact layouts, ticket support and credit removal. Pro Unlimited adds the AI kit, unlimited websites and lifetime updates and support.

Can I install it on my existing website?

Yes. If your site already has a static homepage (Settings → Reading), LT Margina keeps it and shows your page with the new design. Your pages and posts stay as they are.

Can I use it without AI?

Yes. It is a normal WordPress block theme. The AI kit only makes setup faster if you use Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Copilot.

Can customers buy books or reserve seats online?

LT Margina has no built-in shop or form. The “Order a book” and “Reserve a seat” buttons open an email to you; point them to your online shop or event booking page if you have one, or add your form plugin’s block to the Contact page.

Are the demo books, events, booksellers and reviews included?

They are placeholders that show the layout: the book titles and authors are invented and marked “(sample)”. Replace them with books you stock, your own events, bookseller photos and real reviews; in Pro the launch checklist lists anything you missed.

How do I get the Pro version after buying?

Right after payment you receive a licence key by email. Enter it on block.ltheme.com/account to download your theme and every update included in your plan.

How do I get support?

Pro Standard and Pro Unlimited include ticket support at ltheme.com/ticket-support. Free users can follow the documentation.
