Kadu - Education WordPress Theme 1.2

Unlike the previous Template Kits you've asked about, Kadu is a full WordPress Theme. This means it is an all-in-one package that includes the design, core functionality, and theme settings in a single installation file, rather than just a collection of page layouts.

Kadu is specifically built for Education Centers, Schools, and Universities, with a heavy emphasis on a clean, structured, and academic look.

## Key Features

One-Click Demo Import: Unlike Template Kits where you import pages individually, Kadu allows you to import the entire demo site (menus, settings, and content) in one go.

LMS Compatibility: Kadu is designed to work seamlessly with popular Learning Management Systems like LearnPress or LearnDash, allowing you to create, manage, and sell courses online.

Drag-and-Drop Building: Most versions of Kadu come bundled with Elementor, giving you the same visual editing power as the kits you've looked at previously.

Event Management: Includes built-in support for the Events Calendar plugin, perfect for school holidays, webinars, and campus events.

WPML & RTL Ready: Fully prepared for translation into multiple languages, including right-to-left scripts like Arabic or Urdu.

## What’s the Difference? (Theme vs. Template Kit)

Since you’ve been looking at Template Kits, it’s important to note how Kadu differs:

Feature

Template Kit (e.g., ePathsala)

Kadu (WordPress Theme)

Installation

Requires a base theme (like Hello Elementor).

Is the base theme itself.

Settings

Controlled via Elementor Global Styles.

Controlled via a "Theme Options" panel in WordPress.

Bundled Plugins

Usually requires external free plugins.

Often includes "Premium" versions of sliders or builders.

Flexibility

Highly flexible for mixing and matching.

More "locked-in" but offers a more cohesive setup.

## Essential Plugins for Kadu

When you activate Kadu, it will typically prompt you to install:

Elementor: The primary page builder used for the theme's layouts.

LearnPress: The "brain" behind the courses, lessons, and quizzes.

Contact Form 7: For student inquiries and registration.

Slider Revolution: (Often included) For those high-impact animated headers.

## Quick Setup Guide

Upload & Activate: Go to Appearance > Themes > Add New and upload the kadu.zip file.

Install Required Plugins: Follow the prompt at the top of your dashboard to "Begin installing plugins."

Import Demo Data: Navigate to the Theme Options or Import Demo tab to make your site look exactly like the Kadu preview.

Configure LMS: Set up your "Courses" and "Lessons" using the LearnPress tab that appears in your sidebar.

Advice: If you already have your own content and just want a new look, a Template Kit is better. If you are starting a brand-new school website from scratch and want the courses/events pre-configured for you, Kadu is the way to go.
