Installing Rockbase

Rockbase can be installed like any other theme that you have downloaded!

Pre-requisites

Before installing Rockbase, let’s make sure we are ready.

1. A WordPress Install: You will need a website with WordPress installed. If you need to get WordPress up and running, you can review the documentation from WordPress.org.

2. Basic WordPress knowledge: You should know your way around the WordPress dashboard. The majority of Rockbase is leveraging WordPress core functionality, so having a base level of knowledge will only help.

3. Latest Version of WordPress: Rockbase is made to run on the latest and greatest version of WordPress. So before installing, make sure you are on the latest version. You can find the latest version of WordPress here.

4. The Latest Version of Rockbase: You will need the zip file from your Rockbase Dashboard. If you still need to download the theme file you can click here and login to your dashboard. Keep the file in Zip format!

If you meet all of these requirements, then you are ready to go!
