How to Install JupiterX on Your WordPress Site
Welcome to the JupiterX family! We’re excited for you to start building your site with our versatile WordPress theme. To help you kick things off, this article will guide you through installing JupiterX via WordPress. Before we get started, remember to download JupiterX from your ThemeForest account.
Downloading The Installation Files From ThemeForest
To begin, you'll need to download the necessary installation files from ThemeForest.
Step 1: Log Into Your ThemeForest Account
Access the ThemeForest website and sign into your account. Once you're logged in, click on your username in the upper right corner of the page to reveal a dropdown menu. Select “Downloads” from this menu.
Step 2: Locate JupiterX in Your Purchases
Scroll through your list of purchases to find JupiterX. It should be easy to spot among the other items you have acquired on ThemeForest.
Step 3: Download the Installation
Next to the JupiterX theme, you’ll see a “Download” button. Click it to initiate the dropdown menu, click the 'Download' button and select 'Installable WordPress file only'.
Alternative Way of Downloading
You can also download the installation files from your MyArtbees dashboard:
- Sign in to your MyArtbees account at my.artbees.net.
- Navigate to the 'Downloads' section.
- Locate the JupiterX theme and download (you can always use this section to download Jupiter X theme and related plugins)
Note About Jupiter X Child Theme
A child theme allows you to implement your customizations without losing them with each theme update. The Jupiter X child theme is available to download via the package you can download from Themeforest and is currently not available via the Artbees portal.
The Installation Process
With your files in hand, it’s time to upload JupiterX to your WordPress website:
Step 1: Go to Themes Section
From your WordPress Dashboard, navigate to Appearance > Themes.
Step 2: Add and Upload Theme
Click the 'Add New' button, then choose 'Upload Theme'.
Step 3: Select the Downloaded File
Click 'Choose File' to locate the JupiterX theme files you've downloaded.
- If you have the Installable WordPress File, upload it directly without unzipping.
- For the Full Theme Package, unzip the master ZIP to find the secondary 'jupiterx-vx.x.zip' file within jupiterx folder and select this for installation.
Step 4: Activate the Theme
After the file finishes uploading, click on the 'Activate' link that appears.
Insufficient server resources may cause installation failure. Read JupiterX Server Requirements for a list of possible server errors you may encounter during installation and how to fix them.
Install Required Plugins
Once you activate JupiterX, you'll see a notice in your WordPress Dashboard prompting you to activate required plugins, such as JupiterX Core and Elementor. Hit 'Install & Activate Required Plugins' to get started. This will redirect you to the JupiterX Dashboard.
Register Your JupiterX Purchase
Here, you’ll be prompted to register your copy of JupiterX with your purchase code. You also have the option to begin the JupiterX Setup Wizard, which will assist you with a step-by-step setup process for your site.
Tip: Registration is important! Not only does it unlock theme functionality but also allows access to theme updates and customer support.
And that's it! You’ve successfully installed and activated the JupiterX theme on your website. If you encounter any difficulties or have additional questions, don’t hesitate to create a support ticket. Now, let the fun begin as you create and customize your website with JupiterX!
