Frequently Asked Questions

Once we receive your form, turnaround time is 5 to 10 business days (weekends excluded).

If you purchased the Rush Installation Upgrade, your theme will be installed within 2 business days of receiving your installation form.

New Site is a site that has no existing content. On new sites, the demo content will be imported for you during theme installation.

An Existing Site is an established website with existing content that you have published: posts, pages, images, etc. Sites with existing content require a lot of extra time and care during theme installation.

Exception: If you tried to install your theme on your own and imported the demo content, your site is still considered a new site. Your site is only considered an existing site if you have your OWN content published.

No. Your theme is not included with Starter Theme Installation, and will need to be purchased separately.

Starter Installation does not include:

  • Hosting & domain setup
  • Installation of WordPress.org software on your site
  • Updating WordPress and plugins
  • Migrating site content from another location
  • Adding posts or page content to your site

What You’ll Need

New Sites

Our WordPress themes require a self-hosted WordPress.org site. Before we install your theme, you’ll want to make sure that you have the following:

  1. Your own domain name
  2. A hosting account
  3. WordPress.org software installed on your domain

If you’re unsure how to set these up, our Getting Started Guide will walk you through it step by step. You’ve got this!

It’s also a good idea to set up accounts with any social media platforms you plan to use, so that we can take care of linking your social icons for you.

Existing Sites

If your website has existing content, extra time and care is needed to install your theme. For existing sites, please complete the following steps prior to installation:

  1. Upgrade to PHP 8.1 or newer
  2. Make a backup of your website
  3. Update your website to the latest version of WordPress
  4. Perform a plugin audit

Optional: If you’d like your theme installed on a staging site, you can create a staging copy of your site and include the staging URL and login info on your installation form. Not sure how? Your hosting provider can help you set this up!

Skip the tech stress and jump straight into adding your content.
