UPLOAD FILES
============

Upload files "installer.php" and "demo_data_XXXXX_archive.zip" to your web host. You can use FTP or File Manager (in browser), depending of your hosting.


INSTALLER
=========

1. Run installer by entering https://www.yoursite.com/installer.php in your browser (change yoursite.com with your actual website name). Make sure that Setup and Validation are marked with green "pass". Otherwise, check what causes the problem and consult your web host for solution. Accept Terms and click Next. Wait until theme files are extracted.

2. Enter your database parameters (host, database, user and password). You can usually find these in your hosting control panel when you are creating a database. If you are unsure, consult your web host for database parameters. Click "Test Database" and make sure that Requirements tab is marked with green "pass". Click Next. Click OK. Wait until database is copied.

WORDPRESS FINALIZATION
======================

Use username "admin" and password "admin" to log in to WordPress.

You should immediately change the password. In WordPress, go to Users > admin. Under "Contact Info" enter your email address. Under "Account Management" generate or enter a new password. Click "Update Profile" button. After that, you should receive an email with link that confirms your new email address (check "junk" folder if you didn't receive it).

You should also change the "Administration Email Address" in Settings > General. Enter your email address and click "Save Changes" button (again, you will receive an email with confirmation link that you must click).

You can go to Plugins and deactivate and delete the Duplicator plugin (if you don't need it). Also, make sure that all other plugins are activated.


DONE!

Enjoy your new WordPress installation with our theme and copied all demo data!
