Installation
Install CouponSeek, its required plugins, and optional demo content.
Before you start - the three things that cause almost every install problem:
- Upload the right zip. The file you install is the
couponseek.zipinside the downloaded ThemeForest package, not the package itself. Uploading the outer zip produces a "style.css not found" error. - Demo import needs server headroom. Most demo-import 404s and timeouts come from firewalls / mod_security blocking cURL, or from tight PHP limits. Deactivate third-party plugins, install the Disable BIG Image Threshold plugin first, and raise PHP limits to
memory_limit=256M,upload_max_filesize=60M,post_max_size=60M,max_execution_time=360. - Bluehost and Hostinger need extra care. Bluehost's bundled plugin can auto-deactivate during import (409 error) - disable it first. Hostinger occasionally returns 503 errors mid-import; retry with all third-party plugins off.
Full troubleshooting lives in the FAQ → Installation & Demo Import.
Unzip the downloaded package. You can install the Theme in one of the following ways:
- FTP - copy the non-zipped folder in the /wp-content/themes/ directory in the WordPress installation of your server.
- Upload - Go to Appearance > Themes in the Admin Dashboard, click the Add New button, then Upload Theme and choose the zipped file with the theme.
If you get a style.css not found error, make sure you are uploading the correct file. It's important to know that the file you have to install is the one inside the downloaded package.
After that go to Appearance > Themes and click Activate on the Theme. After the activation a warning about the plugins that are required will be shown at the top:
Click on Begin Installing Plugins. After that, make sure you also Activate the plugins.
Notice: After you install and activate the SkyTower Functionalities and Advanced Custom Fields PRO plugins, you can go to Appearance > Theme Settings and click the Save Changes button so that the initial options and styles are saved and applied.
SkyTower Content Shortcodes are powered by the awesome Elementor Page Builder. It gives you the option to arrange and create the Pages in your website just as you like. You can check their website on how to Get Started or you can also watch this video which shows how to arrange a Page:

The coupons and deals in the theme are handled by the WooCommerce Plugin. Upon installing and activating the plugin, you will be asked to set it up.
The offers inside the Theme are created as WooCommerce Products.
Note: If you are new to WooCommerce you can follow their detailed guide on how to set it up here.
1 Click Demo Install
You can install the initial dummy content so you get your site up and running faster than ever. After doing the steps above, click on Appearance > Install Demo Data and install the dummy data.
Warning! All of your existing content will need to be replaced with the demo content and thus it will be deleted.
It will create some sample blog posts, placeholder images, navigation menu and pages built the way it is shown in the online demo.
Notice: If you receive a timeout error or it takes way too much time to install check your server timeout settings. Please configure it and increase the server execution time. If you don't know how, contacting your hosting provider is strongly encouraged. Thanks for the understanding.
If you receive a Page Not Found error when navigating the site, make sure the permalinks are correct. Go to Settings > Permalinks and select the Post Name option and click Save Changes.
