Getting Started 6
How to Install Reign Theme
You can install the theme automatically or manually. It’s better to install Reign on a fresh WordPress installation.
Manual Installation
Extract the zipped package downloaded from Wbcom Designs to your desktop. In the extracted package you will find reign-theme.zip which is the WordPress theme file.
You can install the theme one of two ways:
WordPress
Navigate to Appearance > Themes in your WordPress administration panel.
Click the Add New button at the top of the page.
Click the Upload theme button at the top of the page.
Select the theme .zip file in the theme package downloaded from Wbcom Designs and click Install Now.
FTP
Connect to your website host using your FTP client.
Go to your default WordPress themes folder (/wp-content/themes/) and upload the non-zipped theme folder into that folder (/wp-content/themes/).
Activation
After uploading the theme, you must preview and activate it.
Missing stylesheet issue
While installing the theme manually, you may see the “The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.” message.
Don’t worry. If you see this message, it means you’ve uploaded a wrong theme’s file (actually, you’re trying to upload the main theme’s file containing the theme, its plugins, documentation, etc.)
Please, open this .zip file, find the theme’s .zip file in it, and use it instead.
How to install child theme
Download the Reign Child theme
Before making changes to the theme code, we recommend that you install a child theme. This ensures that your changes won’t be lost when updating to a new version of Reign.
Not sure how child themes work or why you should use one? We have a blog post in our archives that might help clarify things!
- Download and install the theme
- Start by downloading the Reign child theme.
- Navigate to Appearance → Themes and click ADD NEW.
- Click UPLOAD THEME.
- Click BROWSE and choose the file you just downloaded, then click INSTALL NOW.
- Once it is installed, click ACTIVATE.
WordPress considers a child theme to be an entirely separate theme from the parent with regard to theme options. If you have configured options for the parent theme in the Customizer before installing the child theme, these options will not carry over to the child. You can either configure the options again for the child theme or try to migrate the theme options.
