Things to Know Before Installing WordPress
Installing WordPress on your own Computer
Theme Installation
When you downloaded the package from ThemeForest, you will get a single zip file. Please extract that file and keep it somewhere safe. In this section, you will learn how to install Dejure as your theme. To install Dejure to your website, you can do this one of two ways:
WordPress Installation
- Open your WordPress Dashboard.
- Go to Appearance > Themes.
- Click Add New.
- Click Upload Theme.
- Browser and find dejure.zip
- Click Install Now.
- Activate the theme.
FTP Installation
- Log In to your server via FTP Client Software. I like Filezilla.
- Navigate to wp-content/themes directory.
- Upload an extracted dejure.zip or dejure directory to this directory.
- From WordPress Dashboard, Go to Appearance > Themes and activate the new theme.
Recommendation: After installation, go to Dejure > Customizer to initiate default theme options.
Common Issue
PROBLEM : Broken Theme/Stylesheet Missing WordPress
SOLUTION : The most likely culprit? You’re not uploading the correct files. Be sure you are only uploading the theme folder if using FTP or the dejure.zip file if using the Appearance > Themes Menu.
Plugin Installation
After you install the theme, there’ll be a list of suggested and recommended plugins at the top of the WordPress dashboard.
If you already hide it out, you can go to Appearance > Install Plugins section instead too.
Install and activate all plugins.
Demo Installation
To recreate looks like our demo site, there are two steps that you need to be finished.
Importing XML
These are the explanations how to import our demo website content by following steps. Read carefully and if you face any problem that is not covered here, open a thread in our support forum.
- Open your WordPress Dashboard.
- Go to Tools > Import.
- You may need to install WordPress Importer plugin for first time.
- Browse to Demo Content XML folder from main Zip Package.
- You will first be asked to map the authors in this export file to users on the blog. For each author, you may choose to map to an existing user on the blog or to create a new user. Don’t forget to check the download all images option before you hit the import button.
- WordPress will then import each of the posts, page, custom post types, comments, and categories contained in this file into your blog.
- Notice that the Sidebar and Footer Widgets and theme settings are not replicated on your imported demo content. You should be the one to create the widgets. To create widgets, navigate to the left sidebar menu of the WordPress’ Dashboard, then Appearance > Widgets. Just drag and drop the widgets on to the widgets area on the right side of the widgets page.
- To Import the demo theme’s setting, read Importing Customizer section below.
- After this, you should also update the Menus by going to Appearance > Menus. Locate the Theme Locations box and select from the drop-down “Main Navigation” and “Footer Navigation” as respect to the locations the selectbox label indicates. Click the Save button under it to save the changes.
- Done! You should now have the dummy/demo content similar from the Live Preview of the theme
Importing Customizer
All Theme Options will be kept on Customizer. You need to import .json file from the package. Follow below easy steps.
- Open your WordPress Dashboard.
- Go to Tools > Import
- Click Choose file and browser the .json file from theme package.
- Click Upload File and Run Import.
- You will get success message “All Options were restored successfully”.
Importing Slider
Dejure comes with most popular slider plugin, Revolution Slider.
- Open your WordPress Dashboard.
- Go to Revolution Slider
- Click Import Slider.
- Browse to Demo Content XML > Revolution Slider folder from Theme Package.
- You will get a blank page with “Imported …” text that mean you’ve succesfully imported it.
Assign Homepage
As default, you will see blog list page as homepage. To change this
- Open your WordPress Dashboard.
- Go to Settings > Reading > Front page displays
- Choose A static page
- From the dropdown, choose page that you want to be homepage.
Theme Updating
Automatic
Via Envato Toolkit
- Install Plugin named Envato Toolkit and activate it.
- To establish an Envato Marketplace API connection navigate to the `Envato Toolkit` page and insert your Marketplace username and secret API key in the designated input fields. To obtain your API Key, visit your “My Settings” page on any of the Envato Marketplaces.
- Once the API connection has been established you will see a list of themes that can be auto installed. If you don’t see any themes and are certain you’ve done everything correct, there is a good chance the theme author has not updated their theme to be available for auto install and update. If that’s the case, please contact the theme author and ask them to update their theme’s information.
