# Installation of the theme To install this theme you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. For information regarding the installing of the WordPress platform, please see the WordPress Codex - ## Installation When you are ready to install a theme, you must first upload the theme files and then activate the theme itself. The theme files can be uploaded in two ways: **FTP Upload** - Using your FTP client, upload the non-zipped theme folder into the **/wp-content/themes/** folder on your server **WordPress Upload** - Navigate to **Appearance -> Add New Themes -> Upload**. Go to browse, and select the zipped theme folder. Hit “Install Now” and the theme will be uploaded and installed. > Some webservers have a limitation for the maximum allowed size of files being uploaded to them and that value may be exceeded by the theme file. If that is the case you can receive an error that states: **The uploaded file exceeds the upload\_max\_filesize directive in php.ini**. or **Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again.** If you get any of these errors please increase the values of **upload\_max\_filesize** and **post\_max\_size** directives in your php.ini file to **20M** or follow the **Installation via FTP** section described above. Once the theme is uploaded, you need to activate it. Go to Appearance -> Themes and activate your chosen theme. After that you need to activate the pre-installed plugins: 1\. WPBakery Visual Composer\ 2\. WooCommerce (for online shop)\ 3\. Revolution Slider\ 4\. Contact Form 7\ 5\. Breadcrumb NavXT\ 6\. Force Regenerate Thumbnails\ 7\. STM Post Type > All the plugins which are not free come under our Extended License, so you don’t need to pay for their license to use them. Some of them might have messages requiring activation, but they are already activated on our side. No purchase code needed. When using them under our license you will need to wait for the plugin updates in our regular theme updates. If you want to be able to auto update them from wp-admin, you will need to buy your own personal license for that. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
