First, download the theme files to your computer.
- Go to the Downloads section in your Envato account
- Then click the green Download button to grab the theme and make sure you’re getting the “Installable WordPress file only”.
Now that you have downloaded the theme installation file, which is in zip format, it needs to be unpacked (unzipped). You can do this by downloading and installing a program like 7-Zip, WinZip, WinRar or similar. (Macs have a built-in Archive Utility that allows you to unzip files).
Next, you will need to access your web server by downloading and installing an FTP Client. There are many free choices for this such as FileZilla or Cyberduck.
Now you will need to log into your server using the FTP client. Your FTP login details can be obtained from your hosting provider. Navigate to wp-content → themes and add the unpacked/unzipped theme folder in there. Wait until the upload is complete before closing your FTP program.
After successfully uploading the theme via FTP, you will now see the theme displayed with the other standard themes in Appearance → Themes. You can now activate InVogue by clicking on the Activate Button.
