Now that you have purchased this amazing Theme, it\u2019s time to Install it in WordPress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Download the Theme &amp; Locate Spices.zip<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already downloaded the Theme after you first purchased Spices, you may have a file called something like \u201c <strong>Spices Responsive Theme.zip<\/strong> \u201c. If that is the case be sure to extract the zip file and inside it browse to Installable-Theme\/Spices.zip. The <strong>Spices.zip<\/strong> file is the one you want to upload to WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you did not download the Theme after purchase, then you will need to log into the Themesvillage account and go to your \u201c<strong>orders<\/strong>\u201d and download the <strong>\u201cSpices Responsive Theme\u201d<\/strong> zip file as shown in the screenshot below. You don\u2019t have to worry about the documentation because that is all online here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/documentation\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/order-2-1024x462.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/documentation\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/order-2-1024x462.png 1024w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/documentation\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/order-2-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/documentation\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/order-2-768x347.png 768w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/documentation\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/order-2-421x190.png 421w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/documentation\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/order-2.png 1316w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:\nMake sure WordPress Is Up To Date!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spices is a flexible and powerful Theme that makes use of all the latest WordPress functionalities. The Theme is highly optimized and ensured to be coded in the best possible manner. To have an amazing Spices experience please make sure the WordPress is fully up to date before installing the Theme!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is highly recommended that you should ALWAYS be running the <strong>latest version of WordPress<\/strong> anyway, because otherwise you put your whole site at risk for potential threats. Never use an outdated version of WordPress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:\nInstall Via WordPress or FTP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\nmade sure WordPress is up to date, you are ready to proceed and install the Theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have 2\nmethods for Theme installation: via WordPress or via FTP.

You\u2019ll need to either fix up permissions on your server or you can always install the plugins manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Activate &amp; Save Permalinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After installing and activating the recommended plugins for Spices Theme, you can also change your permalink structure.

Here are the most common errors and the solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The package could not be installed. The Theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the\nmost common reasons people have issues is because they try uploading the full\nzip mater file that includes sample data, documentation and much more files. This\ndisplay <strong>\u201cThe package could not be installed. The Theme is missing the\nstyle.css stylesheet.\u201d<\/strong> error. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this, please make sure you are uploading only the installable Theme which is called \u201c<strong>Spices.zip<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are you sure you want to do this? Or 500\nInternal Server Errors<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This error\ntypically happens for one of two reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a. Your server\u2019s memory limit to PHP is too\nlow (most common).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; b. You are trying to upload the Full zip\nfile and not just the installable Theme (please refer to the guide on installing\nyour Theme).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; c.&nbsp;\nThe upload limit on your server isn\u2019t large enough and you must update\nyour PHP.INI file to increase the \u2018upload_max_filesize\u2019 value or contact your\nwebhost to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Didn\u2019t\nsend any data (ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This error\nusually means that your server\u2019s upload limit is too small. You should contact\nyour hosting company if you aren\u2019t sure how and get your upload limit increased\nto at least 20MB. Always ensure you are installing the correct file (Giteblog.zip)\nas mentioned in the first section of this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>White\nScreen of Death<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A \u201cWhite Screen of Death\u201d happens when there is a PHP error on the site but WP_Debug isn\u2019t enabled on the server. So, the first thing to do would be to enable WP_Debug so you can read what the actual error is and thus fix the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This usually happens when your WordPress installation isn\u2019t up to date (always keep WordPress up to date) or when a 3rd party plugin is creating a conflict. I would recommend always disabling all plugins and updating WordPress before switching to a new Theme.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Homepage Setup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, the homepage will appear like a blog (this is how WordPress is intended to work). If you want a custom homepage you can create it using the Page builder, then go to <strong>Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Reading <\/strong>and you can define your homepage here. Make sure you have created and published your homepage page prior. If you don\u2019t have any pages or all your pages are currently as drafts, then you won\u2019t be able to see the settings as shown in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"471\" src=\"https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/documentation\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/theme-13-1024x471.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/documentation\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/theme-13-1024x471.png 1024w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/documentation\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/theme-13-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/documentation\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/theme-13-768x354.png 768w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/documentation\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/theme-13-1536x707.png 1536w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/documentation\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/theme-13-413x190.png 413w, https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/documentation\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/theme-13.png 1918w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>How To Request Support or Report A Bug<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are having any difficulties with the Theme or have some questions concerning how to use the Spices Theme you can contact us for help via <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/themesvillage.freshdesk.com\/support\/home\" target=\"_blank\">support<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Important: Do NOT send us a private message via the Themesvillage author profile page.
