There are two methods to upload a theme to a WordPress site: via the Admin Panel and through FTP. The most recommended approach is using the Admin Panel, as it’s simpler and more user-friendly. However, in some cases, file size limitations may prevent direct uploads. For this reason, this guide covers both methods.

Note:Unzip the downloaded Vixa package from ThemeForest, locate the “Vixa files” folder, and use the vixa.zip file inside it for installation via WordPress or FTP.

Method 1: Installing the Theme via WordPress

Step 1: Log in to your WordPress Admin Panel.

Step 2: Navigate to Appearance > Themes

Step 3: Click the Add New button, then select Upload Theme.

Step 4: Click Choose File, select vixa.zip file, and hit Install Now.

Step 5: Once the installation is complete, click Activate, and you will be redirected to the Themes page with Vixa activated.

Theme is now successfully installed and ready to use!

Method 2: Installing the Theme via FTP

1. Download & Extract – Download the theme .zip file and extract it on your computer. You should see a folder containing the theme files.
2. Connect to Your Server – Use an FTP client (like FileZilla) to connect to your WordPress site.
3. Navigate to the Themes Directory – Go to /wp-content/themes/ in your WordPress installation directory.
4. Upload the Theme – Upload the extracted theme folder to the themes directory.
5. Activate the Theme – Log in to your WordPress Admin Panel, go to Appearance → Themes, find the uploaded theme, and click Activate.

Theme is now successfully installed via FTP!

After activating Vixa, it will redirect to Theme Welcome page.

Next, click the “Plugins” button, which will take you to the Install Required & Recommended Plugins page.

Click “Activate All Plugins”, and it will automatically install and activate the required plugins.

The necessary plugins to ensure the proper functionality of Vixa theme:

Required Plugins:

• Vixa Toolkit – Core plugin for Vixa-specific features and functionalities.
• Elementor Page Builder – Drag-and-drop website builder for easy customization.

Recommended Plugins:

• Contact Form 7 – Enables easy form creation and management.

Note: After completing the demo import, you can deactivate the Hibo Demo Importer plugin.

Method 2: Alternative Import
