Installation Process

Download the latest theme version

Download the theme package. In the Downloads area you can find all your purchases.

Unzip theme package file and find basel.zip file that contains main theme folder.

Way 1 (wordpress admin): install theme through the admin panel

Locate basel.zip file and sign into your WordPress dashboard (e.g., ). Go to Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload, and select the file, click “Install Now“. Once the theme is uploaded you will need to activate it in Appearance > Themes.

  1. Sign in to your admin panel in yourdomain.com/wp-admin
  2. Navigate to Appearance > Themes > Add New -> Upload theme
  3. Choose basel.zip file
  4. Wait while theme is uploading and activate it

Upload Theme with FTP

Way 2 (manual): upload through the FTP

You need to upload theme zip file to your-site.com/wp-content/themes folder and unzip it. You can use your web-hosting control panel (cPanel, ISPManager etc.) or you can connect to your server through the FTP client like FileZilla and upload already unzipped file basel.zip

  1. Connect to your hosting (server) via FTP client
  2. Upload your theme folder to your-site.com/wp-content/themes folder
  3. Login to your WordPress Dashboard and go to Appearance > Themes and activate Theme.
  4. Open your site and check if everything is okay

Import Demo Content

Important!: If you are going to upload a demo to the existing site, make the full backup of your site! Please note: uploading a demo would rewrite all the theme settings and widgets.

After install the theme, required plugins and woocommerce pages you get blank site with basic WordPress and WooCommerce content. If you want to overview the pages and options from our demo site you can import a Demo Content.

To do the import you need to go to the page “Dummy Content”. Here you can find a simple form, where you can select a page to import. Firstly you have to choose Base content (required) and click “Import data”. This option sets up on your site a few posts with images, demo products, portfolio page with base projects and home page with slider like our demo site has. Import process of all the pages may take a few minutes.

After base install you may import some other page from all our home versions.

NOTE: installing demo content doesn’t create site that is identical copy of our demo site because it has a big number of pages and images that takes to much time to complete. Most images you see on our site are not included in our theme package and will not be imported.
