I purchased Enfold – Responsive Multi-Purpose Theme and installed it. Before purchasing it, I read the great reviews about the great documentation, and that I would have free support for 6 months. So I thought that I could figure out what to do.
I have no idea where to start. I thought that, upon installing, this would bring up a program that would allow you to make changes, etc., but do not see anything.
I searched the Forum, but found nothing.
This is my first experience with this and just need to know how to get started.Hey Nancy Patton,
Thanks for purchasing our theme!
Follow some useful videos to get start:
Best regards,
John TorvikIn my attempts to get going in WordPress, and working with the Theme that I purchased, based on references that I’ve found in documentation, I have downloaded and attempted to correctly install the following:
php-5.2.9-Win32-VC6-x86.zip
xampp-win32-5.6.30-1-VC11-installer.exe
bitnami-wordpress-4.7.4-0-module-windows-installer.exe
advance-menu-manager.1.5.zip
The first video in the link you sent me is ‘Mega Menu Intro’.
First, this already has an interactive screen to work with your theme. This is what I cannot seem to find. This video references going to the ‘WordPress Menus Manager’ to change some settings. So I searched for WordPress Menus Manager an download ‘advance-menu-manager.1.5.zip, extract it to wp-content as instructed.
I cannot seem to figure out how to get a screen that displays my theme so that I can work on it. With any ‘index.php’, Dreamweaver (which I have used for my website in the past) is activated with the code from the index.php.
I have spent many hours trying to figure this out. I am obviously not that knowledgeable in all of the behind-the-scene workings in Windows, but I expected to be able to download, install and start working. Please tell me where I’m missing the boat.
Hi,
Have you been able to access the WordPress dashboard at all? Also, is this being hosted locally or through a service? A lot of webhosts offer a 1-click WordPress install solution that take care of a lot of the difficult parts :-).
Best regards,
Jordan ShannonNo, I have not. I did find a one-click WordPress installation, performed this installation, but have not yet figured out how to get to my theme. Thank you for this tip.
Hi,
After the installation were you able to login reach the dashboard? If so you can go to Appearence > Themes > and then upload the theme .zip file
Best regards,
Jordan ShannonHi,
Generally it is whatever your domain is + /wp-admin. For example yoursite.com/wp-admin. It should take you to a login page.
Best regards,
Jordan ShannonI have done the ‘one-click’ WordPress install on DreamHost. Do you think I may have done something wrong there? It mention something about domain/WP, but I did not see anything about domain/wp-admin.
Jordan,
I have finally got to a dashboard. I will see if I can get into my theme from here. Thank you for your help.Hi,
Glad to hear that. Let us know if you need more assistance or if we can close this thread :)
Best regards,
NikkoJust one more thing. I had two downloads on this theme. Does the large one come with the demo data?
Hi,
The demo data is not included, but you can import it under Enfold->Demo Import.
Best regards,
RikardI have looked around everywhere… Enfold, DreamHost, WordPress,
and cannot find where I would import the demo data. Also, when I do so, do I do this from DreamHost?Hey ssrancher,
Please start a new thread for your issue so we can keep this organized.
Best regards,
Jordan Shannon
