Installing Your Listify Theme

To install the Listify theme, you must have a working version of WordPress already installed. For information on installing the WordPress platform, please refer to the
WordPress Codex article on installation.

Theme Installation Methods

The Listify theme can be installed using one of the following methods:

  • 1. WordPress Dashboard Upload (Recommended)
    This is the most straightforward method:

    1. Log into your WordPress admin area.
    2. Navigate to Appearance > Themes, then click Add New.
    3. Click the Upload Theme button at the top.
    4. Choose the listify.zip file (downloaded from ThemeForest under Installable WordPress file only), then click Install Now.
    5. After installation, click Activate.
  • 2. FTP Upload
    If you prefer manual installation or encounter errors with the WordPress uploader:

    1. Unzip the listify.zip file to reveal the listify theme folder.
    2. Using an FTP client (e.g., FileZilla), connect to your server.
    3. Upload the unzipped listify folder to your server at: /wp-content/themes/.
    4. Once uploaded, log into your WordPress admin area and go to Appearance > Themes, then click Activate under the Listify theme.
  • 3. Hosting Provider or cPanel File Manager
    If you have cPanel or a hosting file manager:

    1. Log into your hosting control panel.
    2. Navigate to public_html/wp-content/themes/.
    3. Upload the listify.zip file directly here.
    4. Extract the ZIP file using the file manager’s extraction tool.
    5. Log into WordPress and activate the theme from Appearance > Themes.

Important: Upload Theme Files Only

When downloading the theme from ThemeForest, ensure you choose the “Installable WordPress file only” option. If you download the full package, unzip it first and upload only the listify.zip inside.
