Installing Flourish
Thank you for purchasing Flourish!
Thanks for purchasing Flourish, a premium multi-purpose child theme for Divi, designed by Carrie Green and developed by Nathan Duvall of GruffyGoat.com.
In this page you will find step-by-step instructions explaining both how to install your new child theme as well as some basic tips on customizing it to your liking.
Flourish was built specifically for use with Divi by Elegant Themes. In order to install this child theme, you must first purchase a membership to Elegant Themes and download the Divi theme package. If you’ve not yet purchased a membership, visit https://elegantthemes.com.
Installing the Theme:
Once you’ve downloaded the Divi theme package, login to your WordPress website and go to Appearance > Themes. Find and upload the Divi parent theme and activate it.
Just like you installed the Divi parent theme, install & activate the Flourish.zip child theme located in your Flourish download package.
Importing the Flourish Sample Content & Library:
From your WordPress admin panel, cick the Tools > Import link in your WordPress Dashboard. This will bring you to a new page with a list of import types. Click the “WordPress” link to download and install the importer.
Once the importer plugin has been installed, click the Tools > Import > WordPress link again to open the importer. You will see an option to upload an XML file. Click the “Choose File” link and locate the flourish-content.xml file from your Flourish download package. Complete the import dialog to finalize the import and add all pages, posts & content.
Before leaving the import page, you’ll want to import the Divi Library. Just as before, click the “Choose File” link and located the flourish-library.xml file and complete the import to add the items to your library.
Visit Pages or Posts to confirm that your sample content has been imported. Also visit the Divi > Divi Library page to confirm that your library items have been imported.
(Optional) Flourish Customizer Settings:
If you would like to match the look of the Flourish demo, you’ll need to import the customizer settings. Located inside the Flourish download package, you’ll find a flourish-export.dat file. This file contains the theme’s live demo Customizer options.
To import these options and set up your Customizer like the demo, first install and activate the Customizer Export/Import WordPress plugin, available as a free download. After installing and activating the plugin, head to your Theme Customizer and look for the Export/Import section – typically located at the bottom of the screen.
Locate the flourish-export.dat file and add that file into the uploader within the Export/Import section of the Theme Customizer and press the “Import” button.
