There are two ways to install a WordPress theme: with the built-in installer, or by uploading it via FTP.

Installing with the WordPress theme installer

From the dashboard, go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme.
Click Choose File and select royaltickets.zip.
Click Install Now.

The Themes screen in the WordPress admin with the Add New button highlighted

The Add Themes screen with the Upload Theme button highlighted

The theme upload form with the Choose File button highlighted

Installing via FTP

This is a more advanced way to install your theme. To install RoyalTickets via FTP:

Download the theme archive and extract the files it contains.
Use an FTP client to access your hosting server.
Unzip the royaltickets.zip archive and put its contents (a folder called royaltickets) in the /wp-content/themes directory provided by WordPress.
Go to Appearance → Themes, find RoyalTickets and activate it.

Important: After activation, go to Settings → Permalinks in your admin area and save the permalinks. This helps to get the slugs of the new custom post types right.

Installing required plugins

The RoyalTickets theme requires a set of core and additional plugins to function correctly. A plugin is an additional component that offers functionality and features beyond a typical WordPress installation. Without these plugins, most of the theme’s functionality is not available.

After you install the theme, a prompt at the top of your dashboard asks you to install the required plugins. Alternatively, you can do the following:

From the dashboard, go to Appearance → Install Plugins.
Select all the required plugins and choose Install.
As the last step, activate the plugins.

The Themes screen after activation, with the required plugins notice and the Install Plugins menu item highlighted

The Install Required Plugins screen with all plugins selected and the Install bulk action chosen

Bundled plugins

The RoyalTickets theme comes bundled with some premium plugins from CodeCanyon, such as WPBakery Page Builder (formerly Visual Composer), Slider Revolution and LayerSlider. They add features to your website beyond a typical WordPress installation.

Bundled plugins offer the same core features and functionality as the standalone version of the item on CodeCanyon.

Bundled plugins may ask for a purchase code for registration or activation once installed. You can simply ignore these messages, as bundled plugins do not require activation or registration. The plugins still work as intended with the theme once the theme has been activated or registered.

Importing demo content

From the dashboard, go to Appearance → FT: Import Demo.
Choose the demo you want to install and click the Import Demo button below it.
