To install Berry Theme, first you need a working WordPress site. Click the link below to find out how to install WordPress: https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/how-to-install-wordpress\/<\/a><\/p>\n

We assume that you already have a running WordPress site. Now let’s install Berry.<\/p>\n

You need to download the theme zip file from ThemeForest first. Go to Downloads<\/strong> on ThemeForest, and find Berry<\/strong>. Download the files and find berry.zip<\/strong> – that’s what you need for installation.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. On your website dashboard, go to Appearance<\/strong> > Themes<\/strong> > Add New<\/strong> > Upload Theme<\/strong>.
    \n\"installation-1\"\"upload-theme\"<\/li>\n
  2. Choose berry.zip<\/strong> you just downloaded.
    \n\"upload-berry-zip\"<\/li>\n
  3. Install and activate it.<\/li>\n
  4. You will see the notice \u201cThis theme requires\/recommends the following plugins\u2026<\/strong>\u201d, please click on those links and follow instructions to install those plugins.<\/li>\n
  5. Done.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please note:<\/strong> If you are going to write custom code for the theme, then please also upload the berry-child.zip file (you will find it in the folder “WordPress Child Theme” in your download package), then install and activate the child theme. Then you can change code or write your own custom styles for the theme in the child theme files. Later when you need to update the theme, just update berry.zip (the parent theme), so your custom code changes will not be overwritten (because they are all in the child theme).<\/p>\n

    \n
    Install Required Plugin<\/h5>\n

    As mentioned above, when installing & activating Berry theme, you will see the notice \u201cThis theme requires the following plugin: Berry Extension<\/strong>\u201d. It is the Berry Theme function extensions – including these features: post like, post sharing, gallery slider and Instagram feed.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. After Installing Berry theme, activate it, then you will see a note box, it says: \u201cThis theme requires the following plugin: Berry Extension.\u201d Click on \u201cBegin installing plugin<\/strong>\u201d to install it.\n

      \n\"install-berry-extension\"\n<\/li>\n
    3. Then don’t forget to activate “Berry Extension<\/strong>“.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If you need to find “Berry Extension” zip file, please go to “berry<\/strong>” theme folder > inc<\/strong> > plugins<\/strong> > then there is “berry-extension.zip<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

      As mentioned above, when installing & activating Berry theme, you will see the notice “This theme recommends the following plugins\u2026<\/strong>“. Those plugins are not required to use the theme, but will extend the theme basic functionality.<\/p>\n

      All those plugins are hosted on the official WordPress repository and are made by other authors. You don’t need to install and activate all of them, just choose those you will use on your site.<\/p>\n

      1. After Installing Berry theme, activate it, then you will see a note box, it says: “This theme recommends the following plugin:\u2026” Click on “Begin installing plugin<\/strong>” to install it.
