Installation & setup

Install the theme#

Zactonz Lite is published through the WordPress.org theme directory. Once it is listed there, go to Appearance › Themes › Add New Theme, search for Zactonz Lite, then click Install and Activate.

With WP-CLI:

wp theme install zactonz-lite --activate

Requirements#

  • WordPress 6.8 or newer
  • PHP 7.4 or newer

No plugin is required.

After activating#

The theme works as soon as it is active: the home page lists your posts under the site title and tagline.

  1. Add a menu. Open Appearance › Editor › Navigation and add the pages you want in the header.
  2. Pick a style. Open Appearance › Editor › Styles and choose Default, Dark, Editorial or Ink.
  3. Set a logo. The header shows the site logo beside the site title when one is set under Appearance › Editor › Styles or in the header's Site Logo block.

Build a front page#

The screenshot of the theme shows a front page made from two of its patterns. To build the same:

  1. Create a page and open the block inserter.
  2. Under Patterns › Zactonz Lite, insert Hero, then Three columns of features.
  3. Replace the text with your own and publish.
  4. Under Settings › Reading, set the page as your homepage.

For a page that uses the full width, choose the Page, wide template in the page settings.
