Installing Your Theme

To install this theme you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. For information in regard to installing the WordPress platform, please see the   WordPress Codex article on installation.

Installation

The theme files can be uploaded in two ways:

  • FTP Upload: Using your FTP program, upload the non-zipped theme folder into the /wp-content/themes/ folder on your server.
  • WordPress Upload: Navigate to Appearance > Add New Themes > Upload. Go to browse, and select the zipped theme folder. Hit “Install Now” and the theme will be uploaded and installed.

Once the theme is uploaded, you need to activate it. Go to  Appearance > Themes and activate your chosen theme.

Theme Files Only

It is very important you upload only the theme files, not the entire package from ThemeForest. You can do this by either only downloading the Theme Files from ThemeForest initially, or making sure you unpackage/unzip the full download to reveal the compressed directory of just theme files.
