The following instructions will teach you how to correctly install and activate the theme using the child theme, which will make your life much easier down the line:<\/p>\n<h1 id=\"automatic-theme-installation-from-the-wordpress-admin\" >Automatic theme installation from the WordPress Admin<\/h1>\n<ol>\n<li>Login to your WordPress admin panel this will usually be your wordpress site\/domain name followed by \u00a0\u00a0<strong>\/wp-admin<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Go to\u00a0<strong>Appearance &gt; Themes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Click\u00a0<strong>Install Themes<\/strong>\u00a0and then\u00a0<strong>Upload<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Click on the\u00a0<strong>\u201cBrowse\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0button and select the zipped folder of the theme from your computer.<\/li>\n<li>Upload the theme called <strong>sonik.zip but <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">DO NOT ACTIVATE IT<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Once done click on <strong>\u201cReturn to themes\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Also upload\u00a0the theme <strong>sonik-child.zip<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>ACTIVATE\u00a0<strong>sonik<\/strong>-child.zip<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>Make\u00a0sure you upload the\u00a0<strong>theme<\/strong>\u00a0zip file and\u00a0<strong>not<\/strong>\u00a0the product zip file.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>An alert at the top of the page will ask you to install the plugins required to use all the functions of the theme.\u00a0Select them all and select \u201cinstall\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Wait until the process has finished.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 id=\"troubleshooting\" >Troubleshooting:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Error: The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you see this error, it means that you are trying to upload the entire product package instead of the correct theme zip file.
