Installation

To use StartUp, you must be running WordPress 3.9 or higher, PHP5.4 or higher, and MySQL 5 or higher. We have tested it with Mac, Windows and Linux. Below is a list of items you should ensure your host can comply with.

Recommended PHP Configuration Limits

Many issues that you may run into such as: white screen, demo content fails when importing, empty page content and other similar issues are all related to low PHP configuration limits. The solution is to increase the PHP limits. You can do this on your own, or contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:

• max_input_vars = 3000
• memory_limit = 128M
• max_execution_time = 300
• max_input_time = 300
• upload_max_filesize = 64M
• post_max_size = 64M

Get the StartUp Theme installation package from your account (after login on Themeforest.net) at downloads page and save it to your computer.

Step 1 - Login to your Wordpress Dashboard

Step 2 - Go to Appearance > Themes. Click the Add New button or Add new theme link. (check screenshot below)
