Other errors may exist and should also be taken care of.

Edit the admin user and set the password​

  1. Navigate to /user/1/edit and change the email of the admin user to the one you are using.
  2. Navigate to /admin/structure/contact and change the recipients email of the contact forms so that you receive the messages in your inbox.

Enable the cache (for production)​

  1. By default, our theme distribution comes with Drupal caching deactivated, ensuring a smoother experience during any technical work you will need to do post-installation.

Either right after installation, or when you finish building your Drupal site using this theme, it is recommended to activate Drupal caching and aggregation of CSS and JS files, for better performance.

To do so, navigate to /admin/config/development/performance and enable caching (default option: 15 min) as well as the “Aggregate CSS files” and “Aggregate JavaScript files” options.
