First of all, Thank you so much for purchasing this template and for being our loyal customer. You are awesome!

This documentation is to help you regarding each step of customization. Please go through the documentation carefully to understand how this template is made and how to edit this properly.

WordPress Requirements

Before you can use the Mokify theme, you need a working installation of WordPress.org on your hosting environment. If you're just starting out, you can follow the official guide on how to install WordPress here:


Having a basic understanding of how WordPress works (posts, pages, menus, media, etc.) will help you get the most out of your new theme.

Theme Installation

To use Mokify WordPress Theme, you must be running WordPress 6.0 or higher, PHP 7.4 and mysql 5 or higher version. Below is a checklist of items your host needs to comply with to ensure proper Mokify operation:

  • Ensure your web host has the minimum requirements to run WordPress.
  • Make sure the latest version of WordPress is up and running.
  • If necessary, you can download the latest release of WordPress from the official WordPress website.

Note: To successfully install the theme, please unzip the downloaded file (main.zip) after purchasing. Inside the extracted folder, locate the theme file: mokify.zip.

There are two methods to install the theme. If the normal installation method [a] is not supported by your web host, you can use the alternate option [b].

a) Normal Installation

  1. Log in to your WordPress Admin dashboard and navigate to Appearance > Themes.
  2. Click on Add New Theme (or the "Install Themes" tab for older versions) and then click Upload.
  3. Browse your computer to select mokify.zip (found in the extracted main.zip folder) and click the Install Now button.
  4. Once uploaded, click the Activate link to activate your theme.

b) FTP Installation (Alternate Method)

  1. Use FTP software to browse to the wp-content/themes folder on your web server.
  2. Upload the extracted mokify folder (from mokify.zip).
  3. Once the upload is complete, log in to your WordPress Admin dashboard and navigate to Appearance > Themes.
  4. Click the Activate link to activate your theme.

Important:   After activation, you will be presented with mokify-core plugin that you should activate. Do not forget to activate it or not all of the theme features will be available.
Note:   If you are migration from a theme which used the native featured images functionality of WordPress. Please use the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to resize all the thumbnails. Click the link above and download the free plugin, and read through the steps it contains, it has all the information you need. Run it from Tools > Regenerate Thumbnails.

Demo Content Import

Before we start to import a demo content we have do following instructions:

  1. Set up PHP Configuration limits

    Issues you may encounter, such as demo content fails when importing and similar issues, are generally related to excessively low PHP configuration limit settings. You can either increase these limits on your own, or contact your web host and ask to have the limits increased to the following minimums:

    • memory_limit - 96M
    • max_input_vars - 3000
    • max_execution_time - 600
    • post_max_size - 32M
    • upload_max_filesize - 32M
    • allow_url_fopen - ON

  2. Verify your PHP limits

    You can check them by installing the WordPress phpinfo() plugin and checking Settings. The first column refers to your installation value, and the second column refers to the limits of your host. The latter values are often lower if you have selected a cheaper hosting package.


Now we are ready to import a demo content

Important:   Please do not import content on a WordPress installation that already has a lot of content. Or the very least, make a backup first. A catastrophic mess can be created.
Note:  In some cases you would like to remove demo content. You can remove all posts, pages, etc using WordPress Reset plugin. Be aware that this plugin resets the WordPress database back to it's defaults. Deletes all customizations and content. It does not modify files only resets the database.

There are two methods to import a demo content. If you have SSL Certificate on your website you can use method [1] One Click Demo Importer (auto), but if you have not installed SSL Certificate or you couldn't import a demo content via method [1] you can use method [2] with XML File (manually).

Let's take a look at both methods.

How to? (FAQ)

#1 Theme installation issue: The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet

The issue occurred because you attempted to install the main.zip file into your themes. This file contains additional resources such as plugins, documentation, XML files, and the child theme. To install the theme correctly, unzip the downloaded file, locate the mokify.zip file, and upload it to your themes.

#2 Mokify Core plugin installation issue: An error occurred while installing Mokify Core

The wpmain.zip file you downloaded from the ThemeForest downloads page contains the Mokify Core plugin locally. To access it, unzip the wpmain.zip file, and inside, you will find a folder named plugins. Within this folder, you’ll locate the mokify-core.zip file. Manually install this file through your WordPress dashboard by navigating to Plugins >> Add New.
