There are two ways to install a WordPress theme: using the built-in installer or by uploading it via FTP
After you download the package from ThemeForest, please unzip it. You'll see a file called fixit.zip, which is the main file needed to upload and install.
You can either choose to upload and install the theme using WordPress theme install or use FTP function.
Step 1 – Navigate to Appearance > Themes.
Step 2 – Click the Add New button on top of the page, then the Upload Theme button.
Step 3 – Click Choose File and find the theme files you've just downloaded. If you’ve downloaded the installable WordPress file, then you do not need to unzip the file. If you’ve downloaded the Full Theme Package, you have to unzip the master fixit.zip file, therein you will see a secondary fixit.zip file, this is the one you select to install.
Step 4 - Click the Install Now button.
Step 5 – When upload and installation progresses are completed, click Activate, or go to Appearance > Themes and activate the Fixit theme.
If you get any fail when installing the theme by WordPress install function, we recommend using FTP.
Step 1 - If you have downloaded the Full Theme Package from ThemeForest, please unzip the package file to get the theme file fixit.zip. Unzip the fixit.zip file, you'll get a folder Fixit.
Step 2 - Use an FTP client like FileZilla and upload the extracted folder to wp-content/themes folder on your host
Step 3 - Log in to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to Appearance > Themes and clicking the Activate button of the Fixit theme.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" error
If you get the “Are You Sure You Want To Do This” message when installing Fixit.zip file via WordPress, it means you have an upload file size limit that is set by your host. If this happens, please install the theme via FTP or contact your hosting company and ask them to increase the limit.
