03 / GET STARTED

From download to WordPress.

A few clear steps to set up
your PakPress foundations.

  1. 1

    Start on a test site

    Use a separate WordPress installation for these pre-release packages. If updating an existing site, first back up its files and database.

  2. 2

    Install the foundation plugins

    Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin. Upload each ZIP without extracting it. Install Core first, then Multilingual and Language Center, and activate them.

  3. 3

    Add your theme

    When you have a theme package, go to Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme → Upload Theme. Activate one theme per site.

  4. 4

    Make it yours

    Choose your language editions, set your fonts, configure menus and add your own content. A theme ZIP does not include the live demo's database, articles or uploaded images.

GOOD TO KNOW

A little clarity
before you begin.

What is free, and what is paid?

Core, Multilingual and Language Center are free downloads. The four PakPress themes and additional publishing plugins form the paid collection. Purchases are not open yet.

Are these stable production releases?

Not yet. The available foundation packages are pre-release builds with their original version numbers. Test them on a separate installation before considering them for a live site.

Will installing a theme copy its demo?

No. Theme and plugin ZIPs contain software and bundled assets. They do not transfer the live demo's content, uploaded media, menus or settings. The four public demos let you explore the experience before choosing a theme.

Do I need every PakPress plugin?

No. Install the shared foundation and only the tools required by your setup. Language Center requires Core. Optional AI and video features may need their own provider configuration.

How can I verify a download?

Each free package lists its SHA-256 checksum under “Requirements & file verification.” Compare the checksum of your downloaded ZIP with that value. The checksum list also provides all three values in a text file.

Where will paid downloads be available?

The PakPress store is being prepared. This download center will link to the purchase and customer download experience when it is ready. Paid package files are not publicly hosted here.
