Requirements for FoxThemes

The Theme can only be used with WordPress and we assume that you already have WordPress installed. If not, you can get more information regarding WordPress installation following these links:

Below is a list of items which are required for successful theme installation: 

  • You are running WordPress 4.6 or higher
  • Your PHP version should be 5.6 or higher
  • PHP configuration limits:  max_execution_time 300

                                                      memory_limit 128M

                                                      post_max_size 32M 

                                                     upload_max_filesize 32M

You can verify your PHP configuration limits by installing a simple plugin found here or you can contact your hosting service and ask about your current settings and have them changed in case it is necessary.

Unpacking the theme

After you have downloaded the .zip file from ThemeForest and unzipped it, the following folders will be revealed:

  • Theme package
  • Documentation
  • Licensing

The package folder includes parent and child themes:

After downloading the Theme installation files from ThemeForest, extract it and in the extracted folder locate the QuestRoom.zip and QuestRoom-child-theme files. You can then install your theme using one of two methods described below.

It really doesn’t matter at all which one of these techniques you want to use, so choose the one which seems to make more sense to you.

1. FTP upload: 

 If you would like to install the theme via FTP, please follow these steps:

  1. Extract the wp.zip file you previously located. You should now see a folder named QuestRoom.zip
  2. Using an FTP client, login to the server where your WordPress website is hosted
  3. Using an FTP client, navigate to the /wp-content/themes/ directory under your WordPress website’s root directory
  4. Using an FTP client, upload the previously extracted theme wp folder to the themes directory on your remote server

For most users, this is probably the simplest installation method. To install the theme using this method, please follow these steps:

  1. Login to your WordPress admin panel
