1 Pinclone Installation Guide

Step 1 - Navigating Your Dashboard


Once your theme files are downloaded, you want to go into your
WordPress dashboard. To log in to your dashboard, go
to mydomain.com/wp-admin and enter your login credentials. Once
you're logged in, you'll see an admin dashboard that looks like this:

The area where you manage your themes can be found


under Appearance > Themes in the left sidebar of your dashboard.

Step 2 - Uploading & Installing Your


Theme
On your themes page, you'll see options at the top to "Manage" and
"Install" themes. Clicking the "Install" tab reveals options to search,
upload, and browse various theme options. The one you want is the
"Upload" option.

When you click "Upload" you'll see an option to browse for that file
you downloaded earlier. Once you've selected your ZIP file with your
theme, click the "Install Now" button and WordPress will do the rest
of the work for you.

(Note: A common error that people see when installing a new theme
is that the theme is "missing style.css stylesheet" and cannot be
installed. This simply means that you've installed the wrong ZIP file
and need to go find the right one.

To find the right file, you need to extract the contents of the original
ZIP file that you downloaded. To extract on a Mac, just double click
and a new folder will be revealed. To extract on a Windows PC, right
click the file, select the option to "Extract All," and a new folder will be
revealed.

Within this new folder you'll typically see a few more files and folders,
and somewhere in there is going to be another ZIP file. If you upload
this new file to WordPress, it should take care of that pesky error and
you can move on to Step 4.)

Step 3 - Activating Your New Theme


After you've uploaded your theme file and WordPress shows the
message that the installation was successful, the last thing you need
to do is "Activate" your new theme. Once activated, your website will
instantly switch over to the new theme and any available theme
options will appear in your dashboard.
