Theme Installation

Installing the theme

Assuming that WordPress website is already set (for setting up WordPress blog refer to WordPress set up documentation at http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress#Installation), the next step is to install the theme. There are 2 main ways to upload the theme:

We recommend that you contact your web hosting service provider to make sure that your server PHP configuration limits are as follows:

max_execution_time 60
memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 32M

If you are running unmanaged dedicated server or VPS, you should check your php.ini file. Alternatively, you can edit .htaccess file in the root of your website and add the following values:

php_value max_execution_time 60
php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value post_max_size 32M
php_value upload_max_filesize 32M

Option 1: Via FTP client

Use an FTP client such as FileZilla, FireFTP or Cyberduck (if you are a Mac user) to connect to your hosting account. Navigate to where WordPress is installed and locate the /wp-content/themes/ directory.

Find the zip file called "A3trip.zip" in downloaded file, unzip it and upload the folder to the folder /wp-content/themes/.

Note: Please make sure that the main files of the theme are contained within just one folder.
Thus, the right way to locate your theme files is for example /wp-content/themes/A3trip/ but not /wp-content/themes/A3trip/A3trip/.

After all file uploaded, just go to Admin > Appearance and activate A3trip theme.

Option 2: Through the native WordPress theme uploader (not recommended due to big size of theme)

Select Appearance > Themes

First you need to unzip the download file and find the zip file called A3trip.zip. After this you have to go in the admin panel > Appearance > Themes (see the image on the right), click on the Install Themes tab and in this section in the top left corner click on the link Upload. After that, a new form will appear to upload the theme. Select A3trip.zip file from your local file system and submit the form.
