Here is a guide how to install a WordPress theme from the WordPress Admin Panel.
Step 1.
Save theme zip file on your computerAfter choosing a theme and placing an order from the tishonator.com site, you should receive an email from us with a download link. Open the email, click on the theme zip link and save the file on your computer.
Note: How to Stop automatically unzipping downloaded zip files in Mac Safari?
If you use Mac/Safari the zip file could be automatically unzipped after download. Here is how to disable that:
- Open Safari
- Click Preferences
- Under the General tab, uncheck the option Open “safe” files after downloading
Step 2
. Log in your WordPress admin panel, from right menu navigate to Appearance -> Themes pageStep 3
. Click on the ‘Add New’ buttonStep 4
. Click on the ‘Upload Theme’ buttonStep 5
. Click on the ‘Browse’ buttonStep 6
. Choose the theme zip file from your computer (which was downloaded from Step. 1)Note: Sometimes, the theme zip file could exceed the maximum allowed size for the uploaded files, in that cases the following error will be displayed:
The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
Instead of updating php.ini file (sometime you don’t have access to modify it), you can resolve the issue by:
1) Unzip the theme zip file, locally on your computer
2) Open the unzipped theme folder, navigate to YourThemeFolder/images/slider/ and DELETE all of the slider images files (i.e. 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.jpg, and 5.jpg).
3) Zip the YourThemeFolder (after the files from step 2) are deleted) to a new file, i.e. YourThemeFolder.zip
4) Upload the YourThemeFolder.zip to your WordPress admin
Note: You will be able to re-set the slider images file (after activating your time) by navigating to Admin Panel -> Left Menu -> Appearance -> Customize -> Slider section.
Step 7
. Click on ‘Install Now’ buttonStep 8
. Click on the ‘Activate’ linkThat’s All, your new theme is now installed and ready to use 🙂
