In this video I show you how to install the Sonaar WordPress theme
Alright, the first thing you need to do is to download the Sonaar WordPress theme
on your computer so go to sonaar.io and login to your Sonaar account
if you are not already logged in.
Click the My Account menu and click License Keys
then click View Details and Downloads
Scroll down to the product you have purchased and you will see the Sonaar
WordPress theme zip file to download. Click the link and your download will begin
Now you have download the package zip file, make sure to unzip it on your computer
browse the folder where you unzipped the file and go to the Theme folder.
Sonaar.zip is the WordPress theme that you will install on your WordPress Website.
okay now go to your WordPress dashboard. If you have plugins that are currently
activated make sure to deactivate them by going to the Plugins menu
Select all of them and select deactivate then click Apply.
Now I'm gonna upload the WordPress theme zip file so go to Appearance > Themes, click Add New then click Upload Theme.
Choose the file that you have previously unzipped on your computer.
The file is called sonaar.zip.
See also that there's a file called sonaar-child.zip
You don't need the child theme unless you want to modify or change the
functionality of the master theme... so don't worry about the child theme.
Just upload the sonaar.zip file.
Click install now. This operation can take
around 2 minutes. If you have any error message this can be two things. In most
case it's because you are uploading the file sonaar-WP-package.zip and not
the sonaar.zip file which is located in the Theme folder. The other error that you
can receive is that the "Link you have followed has expired". This is because you
are not allowed to upload big file size in your WordPress dashboard.
In fact, if you go to the Media > Add New, you will see that the maximum upload
file size you can upload is probably lower than the file size you
are trying to upload. In my case it's set to 300 megabytes so I will not have this
problem. So to change this settings you will need to contact your hosting
provider so they can adjust your server setting. 128 megabytes is recommend for
your maximum upload file size.
Now my theme is uploaded. I click activate and my
theme is now activated. The next step you need to do is to install the required
plugins. Go to Appearance > Install plugins and install all the required plugins
Take note that MailChimp for WordPress and WPBakery page builder are not
required anymore because our theme is now fully compatible with Elementor page builder
so don't install these plugins. The last step you need to do to get
started is to activate the Sonaar WordPress theme with your license key.
Go to Theme Options > Dashboard. Now copy/paste your license key that you will find in
your Sonaar account or from the email we sent you when you have purchased the item.
The license key is important in order to import a theme demo
or have access to the Theme Updates.
Alright you are almost set. Now you will need to import a theme demo so go to
Tools > Demo content Install. We have set up another video tutorial on how to
import a demo so make sure to watch it
Thanks for watching and good luck with
your project
