# Installation Theme

There are two ways to upload any theme to the WordPress site: Admin panel and FTP. The most recommended way is uploading via the Admin panel, however, sometimes there may be size limitations for files uploaded that is why this manual provides both ways:

### **Upload Theme through WordPress Admin panel**

#### **Method 1: Install the theme through the WordPress Dashboard**

**The first**: Download a theme package file from ThemeForest. Unzip the package file on your computer - **themeforest-xxxxxxxx-elessi-woocommerce-ajax-wordpress-theme.zip**, and the theme package folder will be created.

#### **Installing a WordPress theme is super easy via your Dashboard**

1. Sign in to your admin panel at yourdomain.com/wp-admin
2. Find **Appearance →** **Themes** in the Dashboard
3. Click the button **Add New** (on top of the page) and go for the **Upload** option
4. Open the browse, then pick **elessi-theme.zip** from the **unzip folder** of your downloaded Theme package from ThemeForest
5. Click the "**Install Now**" button

### **Installing By FTP**

#### **Method 2: Upload through the FTP**

First, you need to uncompress the WordPress theme ".zip" in the Theme package downloaded from Themeforest. But in <mark style="color:red;">**Elessi**</mark> Theme Package, we have unzipped them already into <mark style="color:red;">**Elessi**</mark> folder and each unzipped folder contains all necessary files to install the theme, including layouts, CSS and PHP files containing all theme code. Using the FTP to transfer the folder of this theme to the WordPress theme's root directory: /wp-content/themes.
