How to install Pro/Premium WordPress theme?

Installation Using the WordPress Administration Panel
Follow the following steps:

  1. After purchasing pro theme, go to your member My-Account page
  2. Then on the Download Section, click on the File name to download your theme zip file

  3. Note: Some modern browser like Safari has an auto zip extractor and will extract the zip file as soon as you download the zip file. In this case, open Safari and go to “Safari => Preferences” and in the “General” tab, uncheck Open “safe” files after downloading. This will stop Safari from automatically unzipping the files and then you can download the zip file

  5. Go to “Appearance => Themes => Add New”

  6. Click on “Upload Theme” and Browse the downloaded .zip file from the desktop where you have it downloaded and click on “Install Now” button to start the installation process.
