INSTALLING THE THEME

So you’ve purchased Charisma and you’re ready to get started – great!

After you’ve purchased the theme or have downloaded free version of the theme, you will receive a zipped folder titled “charisma theme.zip“.
Unzip this file first using Winzip or any zip extracting software.

Within the unzipped theme package, you will find a number of folders such as demo content, instruction files, etc. There is also 1 additional zipped folder within, titled “charisma.zip“.

Important: DO NOT unzip this “charisma.zip” folder! This particular .zip folder should remain zipped. This is your theme file. You have to upload it directly onto your wordpress.
