PROBLEM INSTALLING MICROTHEMER FOR WORDPRESS FOR THE FIRST TIME

Author Posts

Heads up! this post was created when Microthemer was at version 5. The current version is 7. Some references to the interface may be out of date.

I just subscribed and download my file. However, when trying to follow the installation instructions, I run into a problem. My file came unzipped and the upload only accepts zipped files. Any suggestions on how to install?

Hi, @Lizzybelle,

You can Add Plugin through your WordPress admin – just search for Microthemer Lite.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/microthemer/

Once installed use your purchase email to unlock the full program.

Hey,

Sorry to hear you’ve had trouble setting up. And for the delay in replying, I think out time zones might be a little out of sync.

It sounds like your computer may have automatically unzipped the microthemer.zip file. You have a couple of options:

1. Re-zip the folder and then upload the zip file via (WordPress admin area) > Plugins > Add New > Upload. Here is some info on how to zip folders:

MAC: https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-zip-and-unzip-files-and-folders-on-a-mac-2260188
Windows: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028088/windows-zip-and-unzip-files

2. Use an FTP program like Filezilla (for Windows/Mac) to upload the unzipped folder to the following directory on your site:

/wp-content/plugins/

The the new directory would be:

/wp-content/plugins/microthemer/

Actually, there’s a 3rd option that might be even more convenient. From the WordPress admin area, go to Plugins > Add New. The search for Microthemer Lite. Install it, then unlock the full plugin using the credentials shown in My Downloads.

I hope that helps. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks,
Sebastian

Ha! Didn’t see your reply there @Abland, it took me a little longer to think of the best solution you started with 🙂
