1. Download the **theme ZIP file** from [the marketplace](https://themeforest.net/item/ncmaz-blog-magazine-wordpress-theme/34122841).
2. Log into your WordPress admin.
3. In the WordPress dashboard navigate to **Appearance → Themes** and click the **Add New** button next to "Themes" page title.
4. On the "Add Themes" screen click the **Upload Theme** button next to the page title.
5. On the next screen choose the theme ZIP file you've downloaded in step 1 above and click the Install Now button.
6. When the theme is installed, activate it by clicking the **"Activate"** link.
7. Now please **pay special attention to installing and activating the required plugins:&#x20;*****Appearance → Install plugins***
8. Install each required plugin from the list then activate them

#### **Tip:** I**nstalling and activating the required plugins**

Since there are many plugins in the list, if you do a bulk install it may give you a "timed out" error so in that case you should install them one by one, then you can bulk activate all of them

#### **Tip:** Get info about updates

Get fast information about new theme updates by subscribing to WebMan Design on **Facebook** and [**X** (Twitter)](https://x.com/BooliiT62007).

#### **Important:** Envato Market

If you've obtained the theme from [ThemeForest (Envato Market)](https://1.envato.market/ileana), please make sure to unpack the downloaded ZIP package on your computer first and check if you are uploading the correct theme ZIP file (or the whole theme folder).

Basically, the theme installation ZIP file or folder is named with your theme slug only, so only `ncmaz-fse`.

Do not install a whole ZIP package that contains other files such as documentation, child theme, licencing and others. Install only the file in `Ncmaz_Fse_Wp` folder. Otherwise you might experience [a common installation error](https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821510).
