Theme Installation

After purchasing the TidyMag 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 TidyMag Theme?

TidyMag PRO is a separate theme. Whether or not you're currently using the free TidyMag theme, you need to install TidyMag 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 TidyMag 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.

Go to "WordPress Dashboard" → "Appearance" → "Themes" and click on "Add New" button.
Click on "Upload Theme" button and choose the zip file you have downloaded.
Click on "Install Now" button.
Activate the theme.
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.

Log in to your cPanel account. Your cPanel URL will be https://yourdomain.com/cpanel or a similar URL.
Click on the "File Manager" icon. It's usually under the "Files" section.

You are now in the "File Manager". Open the public_html folder, which is your website's root directory.
Locate the wp-content folder inside "public_html," then open the themes folder inside of it.
In the File Manager interface, click the "Upload" button and choose the theme's .zip file from your local drive.
After it has been uploaded, right-click the .zip file and choose "Extract" or "Unzip".
You can now delete the uploaded .zip file, but it's optional.
Log in to your WordPress dashboard through your web browser.
Go to Appearance → Themes. Now you will see the newly extracted theme.
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:

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

You can import the demo content, widgets, and Customizer settings shown in the TidyMag PRO theme demo.

Regenerate Thumbnails

If your website already has existing posts with featured images, it's highly recommended to regenerate thumbnails after activating the TidyMag PRO theme. This ensures that all images match the new theme's layout and display sizes.

Regenerating thumbnails is optional if your site is completely new and doesn't have any uploaded images yet.

However, if you imported the demo content, regenerating thumbnails is essential to display images correctly across the site.

Install and activate the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin.
Go to Tools → Regenerate Thumbnails.
Click the "Regenerate Thumbnails for All x Attachments" button to start the process.
Wait until all images are regenerated. This may take a few minutes depending on your media library size.
If you want, you can deactivate and delete the plugin once the process is complete.

This step ensures clean image alignment and sharp visuals throughout your website using the TidyMag PRO theme.

Header Image

TidyMag PRO supports a site-wide custom header image that displays at the top of your site.

How to Add a Header Image?

Go to Appearance → Customize → Header Image.
Click Add new image and select or upload your header image.
Crop the image if needed and publish.

Navigation Menus

This theme includes one Display Location for menus: Primary Menu.

Right after installing the theme, WordPress may display your existing pages as the default menu items in these locations. You can replace them with your own custom menus containing links, categories, pages, and more by following the steps below:

Go to Appearance → Menus and click the create a new menu link.
Enter a name for your menu in the Menu Name field.

Once you've added your links, click the Save Menu button.

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 site.
Optimize images — Use plugins like ShortPixel, Imagify, or Smush to compress images without losing quality.
Use a CDN — A Content Delivery Network like Cloudflare can significantly improve loading times for visitors worldwide.
Minimize plugins — Only use plugins you truly need. Each plugin adds overhead to your site.
Keep WordPress updated — Always run the latest version of WordPress, themes, and plugins for security and performance.
Install an SEO plugin — Use Yoast SEO or Rank Math to optimize your content for search engines.
Use quality hosting — Choose a reliable hosting provider with good server performance (e.g., SiteGround, Cloudways, A2 Hosting).
Enable GZIP compression — Most caching plugins can enable this, or add it manually via .htaccess.
Lazy load images — WordPress 5.5+ includes native lazy loading. Ensure it's not disabled.

Translation & RTL

TidyMag 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 tidymag-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:

Poedit – Desktop translation editor (view tutorial)
Loco Translate – Translate the theme directly from your WordPress dashboard (view tutorial)

After translating, save your files as:

tidymag-pro-[language_code].po
tidymag-pro-[language_code].mo

Place them inside the /languages folder in the theme.

↔️ RTL Language Support

TidyMag 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

How do I update the theme?

Download the latest version from your purchase account, then either upload it via Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme or replace the files via FTP. Your customizer settings will be preserved.

How do I change the sidebar layout?

Go to Appearance → Customize → Theme Options → Layout Options to change the default layout. You can also use page/post templates for individual content.

How do I add social media icons?

Go to Appearance → Customize → Theme Options → Social Links and add your social profile URLs. Icons will appear automatically in the header (and optionally in the footer).

How do I hide the header banner area?

Enable the Full Width Header option under Theme Options → Header Options, which will hide the header banner widget area and make the logo area full-width.

Can I use a custom logo instead of the site title?

Yes, go to Appearance → Customize → Site Identity and upload your logo image. It will replace the text site title.

Troubleshooting

Theme looks different from the demo

Make sure you've imported the demo content, widgets, and customizer settings as described in the Import Demo Content section. Also run the Regenerate Thumbnails process.

Sidebar is not showing

Ensure you have widgets added to the sidebar widget areas in Appearance → Widgets. Also check that your page/post template is not set to "Full Width".

Menu is not displaying correctly

Go to Appearance → Menus and make sure you have assigned a menu to the correct display location. See the Navigation Menus section.

Images are cropped or the wrong size

Run the Regenerate Thumbnails process after installing the theme or importing demo content.

White screen or PHP errors

This usually indicates a PHP version incompatibility or plugin conflict. Try deactivating all plugins and switching to a default WordPress theme to isolate the issue. Ensure your server runs PHP 7.4 or higher.
