Installing on WordPress

Upload the theme .zip from your WordPress dashboard.

  1. 1Unzip the package you downloaded. The theme is the .zip named after it (daybreak.zip, for example).
  2. 2In WordPress, go to Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme, click Upload Theme, choose the theme’s .zip, then click Install Now and Activate.
  3. 3If WordPress says the file is too large, your host limits uploads (often to 2 MB). Unzip the theme’s .zip and upload its folder to wp-content/themes/ with FTP or your host’s file manager, then activate it under Appearance → Themes. Or ask your host to raise upload_max_filesize and post_max_size to 8 MB.
  4. 4A notice asks you to install the required plugins: Plinth Core (bundled with the theme) and Elementor. Click Begin installing plugins, tick both, choose Install and click Apply: they install and switch on.
  5. 5Optional: go to Plinth → Demos and import a demo to start from a finished site.
  6. 6Go to Plinth → Licence and enter your key. That turns on one-click updates.
