- 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.
