Theme Installation

Installing the theme

Assuming that WordPress website is already set (for setting up WordPress blog refer to WordPress set up documentation at http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress#Installation), the next step is to install the theme. There are 2 main ways to upload the theme:

Option 1: Via FTP client (recommended)

Use an FTP client such as FileZilla, FireFTP or Cyberduck (if you are a Mac user) to connect to your hosting account. Navigate to where WordPress is installed and locate the /wp-content/themes/ directory.

Find the zip file called "revell.zip" in downloaded file, unzip it and upload the folder to the folder /wp-content/themes/.

Note: Please make sure that the main files of the theme are contained within just one folder.
Thus, the right way to locate your theme files is for example /wp-content/themes/revell/ but not /wp-content/themes/revell/revell/.

After all file uploaded, just go to Admin > Appearance and activate Revell theme.


Option 2: Through the native WordPress theme uploader (not recommended due to big size of theme)

Select Theme Option
Select Appearance > Themes
First you need to unzip the download file and find the zip file called revell.zip. After this you have to go in the admin panel > Appearance > Themes (see the image on the right), click on the Install Themes tab and in this section in the top left corner click on the link Upload. After that, a new form will appear to upload the theme. Select revell.zip file from your local file system and submit the form.
