Theme Installation

Because AlonePro is a WordPress child theme, the installation process requires installing two theme packages: the Nextora parent theme and the AlonePro child theme.

Method 1: WordPress Admin Upload (Recommended)

Step 1: Install Nextora (Free Parent Theme)

1. Download the nextora.zip archive for free from the official Nextora Product Page (opens in a new tab). (Nextora is completely free and open-source under GPLv2+).
2. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
3. Navigate to Appearance → Themes.
4. Click Add New (or Add New Theme) at the top of the page.
5. Click Upload Theme.
6. Choose the nextora.zip file from your computer and click Install Now.
7. Once installed, click Activate temporarily, or leave it installed and proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Install AlonePro (Child Theme)

1. Download the alonepro.zip archive from your purchase or Freemius account.
2. Navigate to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme.
3. Choose the alonepro.zip file and click Install Now.
4. After successful installation, click Activate.

Verification: Confirm that AlonePro is shown as the Active theme under Appearance → Themes. Nextora should appear as an installed parent theme.

Method 2: Manual FTP / SFTP Installation

If you prefer uploading files via FTP, SFTP, or your hosting control panel file manager:

1. Download nextora.zip for free (from the Nextora Product Page (opens in a new tab)) and alonepro.zip on your local computer, then unzip both archives.
2. Connect to your server using an FTP client (e.g., FileZilla, Cyberduck).
3. Navigate to the WordPress theme directory: /wp-content/themes/.
4. Upload the unzipped nextora/ folder to /wp-content/themes/nextora/.
5. Upload the unzipped alonepro/ folder to /wp-content/themes/alonepro/.
6. Log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Appearance → Themes, locate AlonePro, and click Activate.

Important Notice: Active Theme Selection

Warning: Do not leave Nextora set as the active theme. If Nextora is active directly instead of AlonePro, AlonePro's custom Gutenberg blocks (alonepro/*), 13 style variations, and 38 charity block patterns will not be registered or displayed in the editor.
