If you’re an existing member and new to Photocrati Pro, Photocrati Pro would be installed not as a regular update, but as a new theme following the instructions below. Please rest assured that your current theme design will remain intact (for peace of mind save your design as a custom preset), and your existing Photocrati galleries will remain intact until you convert them to NextGEN Pro galleries.
INSTALL PHOTOCRATI PRO
1) Login and download Photocrati Pro from your members account. We recommend downloading the .zip file from your Google Chrome or Firefox browser to avoid the .zip file from automatically unpacking/unzipping. You need to upload the original .zip file. Save to your computer desktop.
2) Log in to your website’s dashboard.
3) Go to Appearance >> Themes > Add New , click ‘upload’ up at the top of the page and then browse to find the Photocrati Pro zip file on your computer. Click Install Now.
*Please be sure NOT to unzip or open the theme file prior to installation – WordPress requires the file to be in zip form in order to install correctly.
4) Once your theme has completed installing, click “Activate.”
Your theme is now installed! 🙂
Our Theme Options can be found under the ‘Appearance’ tab in the WordPress dashboard navigation menu:
