How to install
Automatic updates: this item is updated by the Ultrapack Auto Updater. With it installed, the new version shows up in your dashboard like any other WordPress update (how to set it up).
The file on this page is the developer’s full package, with documentation, demos and plugins. Do not upload that file to WordPress. The theme comes ready inside it, as a ZIP of its own, and that is the one you upload.
Through the Ultrapack Auto Updater Catalog
- Install and activate Ultrapack Auto Updater on your WordPress site and connect it to your account (setup instructions).
- Open Ultrapack Auto Updater in your WordPress dashboard, go to Catalog and select Themes.
- Find this item by name and click Install when that button is available. Wait for the installation to finish; the Catalog does not require you to download or extract the ZIP manually.
- The theme is installed without changing the active theme on your site. To use it, go to Appearance > Themes and activate the theme you want. If this guide specifies a parent and child theme, make sure both are installed and activate only the child.
- Your account needs access to this item. Installing through the Catalog uses the same download quota as your account.
- If you only see Download from the website, or the item cannot be installed through the Catalog, follow the manual instructions below.
Manual installation
- Download the file
elements-hotalo-hotel-booking-wordpress.zipand extract it on your computer. - Look inside the extracted files for the file
hotelo-main-files/hotelo.zip. - In the WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme.
- Select that file and click Install Now.
- Click Activate.
- There is nothing to zip. The ZIP inside the package is already in the format WordPress accepts.
- 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.
- The rest of the package belongs to the author: documentation, demo files and, in some themes, the plugins it asks for during setup.
- The package also includes the plugin the theme uses, in
revslider.zip. Upload this file in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin after activating the theme.
