Installation Guide

Once you have installed WordPress successfully, installing Swift Theme is no different from any other WordPress theme.

Before proceeding

Before proceeding with installing Swift Themes make sure that following plugins are not installed or deactivated:

• Any Caching plugin like WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache
• Disable CDN
• You might also want to disable your browser cache.

You can download the latest version of the Swift Themes from Swift Themes Members Area.

Install Theme Via WordPress Dashboard

1. Go to 'Appearance > Themes' section
2. Click 'Add New' and select the 'Upload Theme' option
3. Choose the swift-v7.2.2.zip file and press 'Install Now'
4. Once the theme is uploaded you need to activate it.

Install Theme Via FTP

1. Access your hosting server using an ftp client like FileZilla
2. Go to the wp-content/themes folder of your WordPress installation
3. Extract the swift-v7.2.2.zip file and put the swift folder in wp-content/themes/ folder
4. Go to WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Themes section to activate the theme

Adding New Themes using cPanel

If your host offers the cPanel control panel then

1. Download the Swift zip file to your local machine.
2. In cPanel File Manager, navigate to your Themes folder. If you have WordPress installed in its own folder called wordpress, you would navigate to public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes and if WordPress is installed in your web-root folder you would navigate to public_html/wp-content/themes.
3. Once you’ve navigated to the Themes folder in cPanel File Manager, click on Upload file(s) and upload that zip file you saved in Step 1.
4. Once the zip file is uploaded, click on the zip file name in cPanel, then in the panel to the right, click on Extract File Contents, and that zip file will be uncompressed.
5. Now login to WordPress and goto appearance/themes and activate Swift.
