WordPress is well-known for its ease of installation. Under most circumstances, installing WordPress is a very simple process and takes less that five minutes to complete.
Before beginning the installation and configuring of your new theme, you must first have WordPress already installed on a server.
If you are struggling, here is a very detailed guide at Wordpress Codex that will walk you through every step.
If you prefer something more visual, you can watch this video tutorial on how to install Wordpress by us
(Please note the video shown is from our NUVO Restaurant theme, but the same process applies)
Once you have setup a copy of WordPress, there are two ways you can go about installing the theme:
Unzip the download and upload the theme directory /Celsius/ into your WordPress themes directory /wp-content/themes/.
Before you install wordpress, you need to log in to your website. To do this, go to:
www.example.com/wp-admin
Where “example” is your website’s domain name. Enter your username and password to log in (your web host should have emailed these details to you).
Once logged in, you will be taken to the WordPress dashboard, which looks like this:
To install our theme, click “Appearance” in the sidebar and then click “Themes”.
On the screen that loads, click “Add New.”
A new screen will load. Click “Upload Theme.”
When you download our WordPress theme, it will come as a ZIP file. It’s important that you don’t unzip this file because WordPress only accepts ZIP files.
Click “Choose file” and navigate to where your theme is saved on your computer. Then click “Open.”
WordPress will install your theme. When the page reloads, you’ll be presented with three options: “Live Preview,” “Activate,” or “Return to Themes page.”
Click “Activate” to finish installing the theme.
After you have installed the theme successfully, you can optionally import the supplied dummy data in order to get a feel for things. If you're interested in importing the data, please check the Demo Data section below.
Here is our video tutorial to help you through the process
(Please note the video shown is from our NUVO Restaurant theme, but the same process applies)
Once you have installed and activated our theme you will be prompted to install required and recommended plugins. Just click the link to Begin installing plugins.
Next, check boxes to select all the plugins you want to install, select the bulk action of install from the dropdown box and then click the button to apply.
Select the plugins you had installed, and then apply the bulk action to activate them.
Finally, you will got a confirmation notice that your plugins were activeded.
To help you set up website with the least efforts, we include in the theme package dummy content file. After installing it, all content seen on the live demo will be imported except for images/videos.
There are two methods you can use, one is using our One-click Importer, the other is Importing manually. To go with the former option, please follow the steps below:
1. Go to Import Demo on the Tools menu.
2. The Import Demo section will show for you.
3. Just click Install the demo you want and wait for the process to complete.
Now you have a website just like our demo.
Your new custom menu has been defined.
You can add different link types into your menu, these are split between panes left of the menu you're currently editing.
Your custom menu has now been saved.
When planning the structure of your menu, it helps to think of each menu item as a heading in a formal report document. In a formal report, main section headings (Level 1 headings) are the nearest to the left of the page; sub-section headings (Level 2 headings) are indented slightly further to the right; any other subordinate headings (Level 3, 4, etc) within the same section are indented even further to the right.
The WordPress menu editor allows you to create multi-level menus using a simple 'drag and drop' interface. Drag menu items up or down to change their order of appearance in the menu. Drag menu items left or right in order to create sub-levels within your menu.
To make one menu item a subordinate of another, you need to position the 'child' underneath its 'parent' and then drag it slightly to the right.
Congratulations! Your menu has now been added to your site.
You can set any menu as Primary menu here.
