Theme Installation ​

There are two ways to install WordPress themes – using the WordPress admin panel or using FTP upload. The first method is probably the simplest installation method for most users. Let’s figure it out.

Installing via WordPress Panel ​

Follow the steps below to install the theme through the WordPress admin panel:

▶️ Step 1. ​

Navigate to Appearance → Themes and click Add New Theme.

▶️ Step 2. ​

Click Upload Theme.

▶️ Step 3. ​

Select your downloaded theme file arrigo.zip and click Install now.

Installing via FTP Upload ​

If you would like to install the theme via FTP, follow the steps below:

▶️ Step 1. ​

Extract the arrigo.zip file that you’ve downloaded previously. You should get a folder named arrigo with the following files and folders.

▶️ Step 2. ​

Using any FTP client (I recommend the free Cyberduck), log in to the server where your WordPress website is hosted.

▶️ Step 3. ​

Using the FTP client, navigate to the wp-content/themes/ folder under your WordPress website’s root directory.

▶️ Step 4. ​

Upload the folder you extracted in the first step into wp-content/themes/.

Theme Activation ​

Once the installation is complete, your brand new theme is ready to use. Let’s activate it. To do so, go to Appearance → Themes.

Locate the theme cover and click the `Activate` button beneath it
