Installation
1. Install WordPress
Download and Install WordPress 4.x or later.
To Install WordPress please follow the instruction here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress
YOU CANNOT INSTALL WORDPRESS THEMES ON A WORDPRESS.COM BLOGGING ACCOUNT
It’s important to understand that an account on WordPress.com is not the same as a website running a self hosted copy of WordPress. If you have purchased a theme with this intention you should contact envato support.
2. Download Theme
A. If you’ve downloaded whole theme package (see image below), unzip it.
There you will find 3-4 folders such as:
- Documentation
- PSD
- Theme
Open the theme folder and you will find 2 zip files:
- theme_name.zip (this is the theme you need to upload)
- theme_name-child.zip (see child section for more info about child theme)
B. Alternatively you can simply download the installable WordPress file (see image below) You should have the lush.zip archive by itself, which is the file to upload via the dashboard.
3. Install Theme
To install the theme, in your WordPress Admin Panel (wp-admin) go to “Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme > browse to your theme_name.zip file.
* If you get a message such as "Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again", most likely your web server is configured with PHP settings that are too low to allow the theme ZIP file to upload. Specifically, PHP is configured to a maximum file upload size limit at 8 megabytes or less. The theme ZIP is currently about 34 mb. Thus, the web server is rejecting the upload. WordPress is giving you a rather ambiguous message in response. ==> Read this article for a solution
4. Activate Theme
In “Appearance > Themes > activate the theme by hitting the correspondent “Activate” link.
5. Install Plugins
After theme activation you will see a “recommended plugins” notice. Click the “Begin installing plugins” link in order to proceed to installation. Make sure you install & activate them after installation.
