There are two methods to upload a theme to a WordPress site: via the Admin Panel and through FTP. The most recommended approach is using the Admin Panel, as it’s simpler and more user-friendly. However, in some cases, file size limitations may prevent direct uploads. For this reason, this guide covers both methods.

Note: Unzip the downloaded Carrapackage from ThemeForest, locate the “Carrafiles” folder, and use the Carra.zip file inside it for installation via WordPress or FTP.

Method 1: Installing the Theme via WordPress

Method 2: Installing the Theme via FTP

1. Download & Extract – Download the theme .zip file and extract it on your computer. You should see a folder containing the theme files.
2. Connect to Your Server – Use an FTP client (like FileZilla) to connect to your WordPress site.
3. Navigate to the Themes Directory – Go to /wp-content/themes/ in your WordPress installation directory.
4. Upload the Theme – Upload the extracted theme folder to the themes directory.
5. Activate the Theme – Log in to your WordPress Admin Panel, go to Appearance → Themes, find the uploaded theme, and click Activate.

Theme is now successfully installed via FTP!

Next, click the “Plugins” button, which will take you to the Install Required & Recommended Plugins page.

Click “Activate All Plugins”, and it will automatically install and activate the required plugins.

The necessary plugins to ensure the proper functionality of Carra theme:

Required Plugins:
