Animo – Modern & Clean Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme

Introduction

Animo is clean, minimal and professional multipurpose wordpress theme. This theme is suitable for anyone who wants to showcase his/her works in a beautiful style.

Animo is developed by Redux Framework which is well known framework on themeforest and  top hot trend plugins such as Visual Composer for building layout from frontend.

Installation

1) First Steps

Before you can start playing around with your new theme, let's first check what the theme package includes. After you have downloaded the .zip file from Themeforest and unzipped it, its should reveal the following folders:

2) Upload the Theme

You have two options how to upload themes in Wordpress and I will cover them both now. You can either upload all theme files via FTP or you can use Wordpress Theme Uploader. It really doesn't matter at all which one of these techniques you want to use, so choose the one which seems to make more sense to you.

Theme Uploader:

  1. So of course first you need to login into Wordpress backend.
  2. Find Appearance from left sidebar, open it and click Themes.
  3. Now you click link called Install Themes.
  4. In the next page, just under Install Themes link, there is an another link called Upload, click that.
  5. Now you just need to find the Animo WP folder, which you just unzipped, and in there go to "Animo" folder and select animo.zip file.
  6. Then just click Install now and Wordpress will handle the rest!

FTP:

So I assume you do know how to use your FTP client of choice (like Filezilla), but if you don't, then try Theme Uploader technique.

  1. First login o your FTP account and navigate to your Wordpress installation directory and in there go to wp-content\themes folder.
  2. Now put FTP client to side for a while and head back to Animo Theme folder, which you just unzipped animo.zip.
  3. There should be only one folder, called Animo. To make sure you are in the right place, check that folder contains files like index.php, functions.php and style.css.
  4. If everything looks good you are ready to upload this Animo folder to wp-content\themes, which you found earlier.

WordPress:

Navigate to Appearance -> Themes -> Add New -> Upload page. Select animo.zip file. Press the Install Now button to upload and install the theme.

3) Activate the Theme

After theme is successfully uploaded, head on to Appearance » Themes, in Wordpress backend. There should be now one new theme called . Find it and just click Activate.

4) Install & Setup Plugins (optional)

These steps are totally optional, so if you don't need any plugin, you can easily just Dismiss the Notice and skip to the next step.

So at this stage you have probably noticed a warning sign, asking you to install recommended plugins. Now it's time for that! And this is extremely simple, since you just need to click Begin installing plugins and you will be redirected to plugin installation page where you can install the plugins you want.

5) Settings theme

- Setting Main Navigation

Go to Setting Reading - > Select Static pages for Frontpage and blog
