How to install
Updates: manual. When a new version comes out, download it on this same page and upload it over the old one; WordPress asks whether you want to replace the current version.
The file on this page is the full package the author publishes on the marketplace: the theme, the documentation and sometimes the plugins it uses. Do not upload that file through the dashboard, because WordPress cannot find the theme inside it. What gets installed is the theme folder, which is in there.
- Download the file
themeforest-6018178-blogist-personal-blog-theme.zipand extract it on your computer. - If the extracted package contains another ZIP file named after the theme, extract that ZIP as well before looking for the theme folder.
- Look for the folder that has the
style.cssfile and thescreenshot.pngimage (in this item, the folderblogist). That is the theme folder. - Zip that folder only. Do not use RAR.
- In the WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme and upload the ZIP file you just created.
- Click Activate.
- Uploading the whole package is the most common mistake when installing a theme. WordPress answers that no valid theme was found, and nothing is installed.
- If after extracting you already find
style.cssandscreenshot.pngin the main folder, that folder is the theme folder. - The rest of the package belongs to the author: documentation, demo files and, in some themes, the plugins it asks for during setup.
