Once WordPress is set up, head to your ThemeForest Downloads page and download the “All Files & Documentation” package.

🧒 Installing the Child Theme (Recommended)

To safely customize your theme’s code without losing changes during updates, it’s strongly recommended to use the child theme.

To install:

1. Go to Dashboard → Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme
2. Upload inspiry-tourpress-child.zip just like the parent theme
3. Click Activate once uploaded

🔒 Using a child theme allows you to: - Add custom CSS or PHP changes safely - Preserve changes during parent theme updates
