HELLO ! FIRST OF ALL WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING OUR THEME!

Here are some basics on installing, configuring and customizing the Opal Template If you have any questions that are beyond the scope of this help file, please feel free to contact us via email : [email protected]

If you like this theme please rate it.

To install this theme you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. Make sure your installed Wordpress version is 3.8 or higher. You also need to have PHP 5.2.4 or higher versions (recommended is php 5.3+) and MySQL 5.0 in order for Striking to function correctly. If you need help installing WordPress, follow the instructions in WordPress Codex or you can watch the Instructional Video created by Woo Themes.

1. Download

Purchase Fitshop template from Themeforst then you can download our template from there.

Extract Package that include all files and folders of theme.

2. Installing Theme From the WordPress Dashboard

Installing a WordPress theme is super easy, you’ll see our video guide:

-  Navigate to Appearance → Themes in your WordPress admin dashboard.

- Click the Add New button at the top of the page and go for the Upload option.

- For the file upload, pick Theme Files/ fitshop.zip in the theme package downloaded from ThemeForest and click Install Now.

3. Installing By FTP

Many users are on shared hosting with low upload limits, and in such situations the Striking theme is often too large to install through Wordpress. We suggest you should upload it via FTP.

If you don't know how to use FTP visit this link for information: http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients . You will need to first uncompress the PACKAGE-theme.zip file you have found in the master zip downloaded from Themeforest. This zip uncompresses into a normal folder . This unzipped folder is all you need to transfer via ftp and if you open it, you will see all sorts of folders and css and php files which together contain all the Fitshop theme coding.   

Using the FTP program transfer this folder which contains the above files to the Wordpress installation theme root directory: /wp-content/themes.

Do not upload any of the other files or folders such as licensing or resource or documentation. Uploading any of the other folders may cause problems resulting in the Fitshop theme not working properly. Learn from Wordpress Official Document about installing theme with FTP client or with cPanel: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes

After completing the upload, activate the theme as per activating any other theme.
