How To Install & Customize WordPress Themes & Plugins

Here’s how to install/customize/delete any WordPress Theme or Plugin.

The first step is to acquire the theme/plugin file, once you purchase one, you’re usually sent a .zip file from the source.

Usually you can just upload the .zip file into WordPress directly, but sometimes there’s additional steps, which will be outlined below.

By the way, if you’re interested in buying premium WordPress Themes & Plugins, I sell over 100+ GPL licensed themes & plugins on Etsy, for just $1.99 each - these are legit plugins of which I have a lifetime pass.

Before you install any theme, I HIGHLY suggest you back up your site, so that in the unlikely event that a theme/plugin reacts badly with your site - you can easily just restore the last working version.

I suggest using the UpDraft plugin to do so.
