How to install a WordPress theme from a ZIP file?
We recommend that you purchase a premium WordPress theme or the premium version of a free theme of the theme you’re interested in. You’ll be able to access more features and customize the theme, and you’ll receive more reliable customer support.
Installing a premium theme requires you to download it from the developer’s website after you purchase it.
Go to Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme after downloading the zip file. Click Choose File, and select your theme’s ZIP file.
Simply click on Install Now to get it installed, then activate it.
In case of an error message after downloading the ZIP file, unzip the original ZIP file before trying the new one. Some developers enclose the actual ZIP file within the ZIP file.
You are required by many developers to verify your license. By doing so, they can determine which sites updates should be distributed based on license data.
Depending on the plugin, you might need a license key. Sometimes you’ll just have to sign in to your account. Be sure to activate your license key to get updates regularly.
