Install Child Theme ( Highly Recommended )

It is highly recommended to use child theme, So that you can easily update parent theme whenever a new update becomes available. A pre-built ready to use child theme is included in the main theme pack that you have downloaded from themeforest.

To install child theme, You need to upload the healthpress-child.zip and activate it in the same way as you have uploaded and activated parent theme's healthpress.zip.

You can follow one of these approaches.

Step 1

Go to Settings > Permalinks and choose Post name from Common Settings and save the changes, As displayed in screen shot below.

Step 2

Note: It is important to complete Step 1 as import script is programmed to work with pretty permalinks. Otherwise you will have configuration issues after importing demo data contents.

Step 3

Step 1

At 1st time you need to install WordPress importer plugin

Once installed you need to activate the plugin and run the importer.

After importing XML file.

  1. Assign posts to an existing author.
  2. Mark the checkbox to download and import file attachments
  3. Click 'Submit' button

Import process can take few minutes. So wait for it and try to keep the focus on current tab in your browser.

After that is done, you will have bunch of posts, pages, properties and other contents as on the theme demo.

Navigate to Appearance > Menus and use the Already Imported Menu from XML and assign it to theme location "Main Menu" from Menu Settings section below menu. After that save the menu. As pointed in screenshot below.

Step 4

Navigate to Appearance > Menus and use the Already Imported Menu from XML and assign it to theme location "Main Menu" from Menu Settings section below menu. After that save the menu. As pointed in screenshot below.


Next Step is to Configure Reading Settings

Create Home Page

In case of Demo Contents Import the home page is already created and you do not need to follow this section.

To set up the Home page you need to create a new page, Go to Pages > Add New. You can give this page a title "Home" yet you do not need to include any contents for now. Select the “Home” template from the Page Attributes section, as displayed in screen shot below and click “Publish”.

Configure Reading Settings

In case you followed Demo Contents Import, The reading settings should already be configured and you do not need to follow this section.
