Installing Luminescence Lite

There are at least two popular methods of installing a theme into WordPress:

1. Using the built-in Installer
2. Manually uploading the theme

Using the Installer

If you downloaded this theme, you will need to log into your site’s admin area (dashboard as WordPress calls it).

1. Go to Appearance >> Themes
   
2. When on the themes page, clickon the “Install Themes” tab
   
3. Click on Search and type in “Luminescence Lite” then install. However, if you downloaded the theme first, then Click on the text link “Upload“, browse for the luminescence-lite.zip and then click “Install Now“
   
4. Once uploaded and it’s installed, click “Activate” and then you’re done!

Manual Install

For most people, you won’t be using this method but is available as an alternative.

1. Unzip the luminescence-lite.zip file to your desktop
2. Open your FTP program
3. Find the unzipped folder “luminescence-lite” and make sure the theme files are inside that and not a double folder named the same. If there is, then upload the folder that has the theme files showing in it.
4. Go to your WordPress dashboard >> Appearance >> Themes >> Manage Themes tab
5. Find the Luminescence Lite theme and click “Activate“
