Theme Installation

After purchasing the Simple Grid PRO WordPress Theme, you'll receive a download link via email. Check your email inbox (or spam folder) for the product delivery email. Click the provided download link to download the theme's .zip file to your computer. Follow one of a method given below to install the theme on your website.

Upgrading from the Free Simple Grid Theme?

Simple Grid PRO is a separate theme. Whether or not you're currently using the free Simple Grid theme, you need to install Simple Grid PRO using one of the methods below.

If you're upgrading from the free version, most of your existing WordPress Customizer settings will remain in place. So you don't need to reconfigure everything from scratch. However, you will need to reupload a few images and reapply specific color settings.

After activating Simple Grid PRO, go to Appearance → Customize and reupload the following:

  • Site Logo
  • Site Icon (favicon)
  • Header Image
  • Background Image

If you changed below color options in the free version, reapply them in Appearance → Customize → Theme Options → Colors:

  • Header Text Color
  • Background Color

Tip: You can install PRO without deleting the free theme. Use Live Preview to confirm your layout, then click Activate & Publish.

Method 1: Install Using the WordPress Dashboard (Easiest and Fastest)

This is the easiest and fastest method to install this WordPress theme.

  1. Go to "WordPress Dashboard" → "Appearance" → "Themes" and click on "Add New" button.
  2. Click on "Upload Theme" button and choose the zip file you have downloaded.
  3. Click on "Install Now" button.
  4. Activate the theme.
  5. Now go to "Appearance" → "Customize" to configure theme options.

Method 2: Install using cPanel File Manager

In some cases, you may not be able to install a WordPress theme through the WordPress dashboard—especially if the theme's ZIP file exceeds the maximum upload size limit. When this happens, you can install the theme using cPanel's File Manager, which is often simpler than using FTP. Follow the steps below to install your theme via the File Manager in cPanel.

  1. Log in to your cPanel account. Your cPanel URL will be https://yourdomain.com/cpanel or a similar URL.
  2. Click on the "File Manager" icon. It's usually under the "Files" section.
  3. You are now in the "File Manager". Open the public_html folder, which is your website's root directory.
  4. Locate the wp-content folder inside "public_html," then open the themes folder inside of it.
  5. In the File Manager interface, click the "Upload" button and choose the theme's .zip file from your local drive.
  6. After it has been uploaded, right-click the .zip file and choose "Extract" or "Unzip".
  7. You can now delete the uploaded .zip file, but it's optional.
  8. Log in to your WordPress dashboard through your web browser.
  9. Go to Appearance → Themes. Now you will see the newly extracted theme.
  10. Make it your active theme by clicking the "Activate" button next to it.

Note: If your hosting provider doesn't offer cPanel, look for a File Manager option in your hosting dashboard (like DirectAdmin, Plesk, or CyberPanel). The process is usually very similar—just find the wp-content/themes folder and upload/extract the theme ZIP file there.

Method 3: Install using FTP

Installing a WordPress theme via FTP is straightforward, though it involves a few more steps compared to using the built-in theme uploader. Here's how to install a WordPress theme using FTP:

  1. Unzip the theme's .zip file you have downloaded.
  2. Connect to your hosting account using an FTP client such as "FileZilla" or "Core FTP".
  3. Navigate to the /wp-content/themes folder in the "Remote site" section.
  4. In the "Local site" section, locate the unzipped theme folder.
  5. Drag and drop the unzipped theme folder from the "Local site" section to the "Remote site" section.
  6. Be patient and let the transfer finish.
  7. Once the transfer is complete, log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Appearance > Themes.
  8. Find the theme you just uploaded and click Activate.

Performance & SEO Tips

  • Use a Caching Plugin: Install a caching plugin like WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, or LiteSpeed Cache to speed up your website.
  • Optimize Images: Use plugins like Imagify or EWWW Image Optimizer to compress images without losing quality.
  • Use an SEO Plugin: Install Yoast SEO or All in One SEO for better search engine optimization. Simple Grid PRO supports Yoast SEO breadcrumbs.
  • Minimize Plugins: Only install plugins you actually need. Too many plugins can slow down your site.
  • Use a CDN: Consider using a CDN like Cloudflare to serve static files faster to visitors around the world.
  • Choose Quality Hosting: Good hosting is the foundation of a fast website. Consider managed WordPress hosting for the best performance.
  • Keep WordPress Updated: Always use the latest versions of WordPress, themes, and plugins for security and performance.
  • Disable Unused Image Sizes: Simple Grid PRO allows you to disable certain image sizes in theme options to save disk space and processing time.
  • Use Lazy Loading: WordPress includes native lazy loading for images. Ensure it's not being blocked by other plugins.

Translation & RTL

Simple Grid PRO is fully translation-ready and supports Right-to-Left (RTL) languages like Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian out of the box.

🌐 Translating the Theme

The theme includes a simple-grid-pro.pot file located in the /languages folder inside the theme directory. You can use this file to create translations in your own language using any of the following tools:

After translating, save your files as:

  • simple-grid-pro-[language_code].po
  • simple-grid-pro-[language_code].mo

Place them inside the /languages folder in the theme.

↔️ RTL Language Support

Simple Grid PRO includes built-in RTL support. If your WordPress site language is set to an RTL language, the theme will automatically adjust layout direction, alignment, and spacing accordingly. No extra setup required.

If you're customizing your site with RTL content, make sure your text widgets, menus, and custom styles are also RTL-compatible for best results.

FAQ

Will I lose my settings when updating?

No. All Customizer settings, post/page settings, and widget configurations are stored in the WordPress database and will persist after a theme update.

Does this theme support WooCommerce?

Yes. Simple Grid PRO includes built-in WooCommerce support with product gallery zoom, lightbox, and slider features.

How do I set up a static homepage?

Go to Settings → Reading, select "A static page", choose your homepage and posts page, then save.

Can I use different layouts for different posts/pages?

Yes. Each post and page has its own settings panel where you can override the global layout style, header style, footer columns, and more.

How do I add ads between grid posts?

Use the Simple Grid Grid Ads Widget. Add it to the Grid Ads Widgets widget area and configure the position and display conditions.

How do I enable infinite scroll?

Go to Appearance → Customize → Theme Options → Posts Navigation Options and select the infinite scroll option.

Troubleshooting

Theme looks different from the demo

Make sure you've imported the demo content, widgets, and Customizer settings as described in Section 3. Also regenerate thumbnails as described in Section 4.

Featured images are blurry or cropped incorrectly

Regenerate thumbnails using the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin. Ensure your original images are large enough for the selected thumbnail size.

Widgets not appearing

Check that you've added widgets to the correct widget area. Some widget areas only display on specific pages (e.g., "Default HomePage" areas only show on the default blog homepage). Use the Widget Display Conditions plugin for more control.

News ticker not showing

Ensure the news ticker is enabled in Appearance → Customize → Theme Options → News Ticker Options. Also verify you have published posts available for the selected post type.

Contact form not sending emails

Set the Contact Form Email Address in Appearance → Customize → Theme Options → Page Templates Options. Also ensure your hosting supports PHP mail function.

Grid Ads not displaying

Make sure the Simple Grid Grid Ads Widget is added to the Grid Ads Widgets widget area (not any other area). Check that the ad position and display conditions match your current page.
