Install Premium Themes

A WordPress theme determines the overall design of your website including colors, fonts, and layout. By selecting a different theme, you change the look and feel of your website without changing the content. With WordPress Toolkit, you can install and manage themes.

Installing Themes

In WordPress Toolkit, you can install themes on one or more WordPress installations.

You can search for and install themes found in the wordpress.org themes repository. You can also upload custom themes, which is useful if:

You cannot find a suitable theme in the wordpress.org repository.

You need to install your own theme.

Note: Any themes you upload become available for installation by customers.

To install themes on a particular WordPress installation:

Go to WordPress, go to the “Themes” tab of an installation card, and then click Install.
Search for themes, and then click Install next to the theme you want to install. By default, a newly installed theme is not activated.

To install themes on multiple WordPress installations:

Go to WordPress > the “Themes” tab, and then click Install.
Search for themes, select the themes you want to install, and then click Select websites.
```
Note: Selecting one or more themes and then performing a new search without installing the selected themes resets the selection.
```
Select websites on which you want to install themes and then click Install.

To upload a theme:

Go to WordPress > the “Themes” tab, and then click Upload theme.
Click Browse… and browse to the location of the ZIP file containing the theme you want to upload.
You can add the uploaded theme to a set. To do so, select the set from the drop-down list. If you do not want to add the uploaded theme to a set, keep the “None” option. You can read more about sets in Managing Sets.
Click OK.

At this point, the uploaded theme has become available for installation by customers. You can also install the uploaded theme on your own WordPress installations.

To install an uploaded theme:

Go to WordPress > the “Themes” tab.
Click Install next to a theme you have uploaded.

3. Select the WordPress installations on which you want to install the uploaded theme.

4.By default, a newly uploaded theme is activated. You can deactivate it by clearing the “Activate after installation” checkbox.

5.Click Install.

Activating a Theme

You can activate a theme installed on a particular installation or on all installations hosted on the server. A WordPress installation can have only one active theme at a time.

Go to WordPress, and then go to the “Themes” tab of an installation card.
Under “State”, turn on a theme to activate it. The theme that was previously active will be automatically deactivated.

To activate a theme for all installations hosted on the server:

Go to WordPress > the “Themes” tab.
Click Activate next to a theme you want to activate.

Updating Themes

If a theme needs updating, you will see “Updates” next to the theme on the “Themes” tab of an installation card. You can update not only free themes but also paid ones if they can be updated in the usual way in the WordPress admin dashboard.

Note: WordPress Toolkit can update paid themes that require a license if the license is present. WordPress Toolkit cannot update paid themes that use non-standard update methods.

You can do the following:

Update themes for one particular installation. Read how to do so in the “To update a WordPress installation manually” procedure.

Click “Update to version …” next to the theme you want to update. To learn more about the update, click “Changelog”. This will take you to the theme’s page on wordpress.org.
Click Yes.

Removing Themes

You can remove themes from a particular installation or from all installations hosted on the server.

Note: You cannot remove an active theme. Before removing a currently active theme, activate another theme first.
