# How to Quick Start with Dineora

Thank you for choosing the** Dineora** – Restaurant WordPress Theme. This guide will help you get started quickly and set up your site in a safe and organized way.

Watch the full installation & setup video below for a complete step-by-step guide

### **Step 1: Prepare Your WordPress Setup**

Before installing the theme, make sure everything is ready.

• Confirm that WordPress is installed properly
• Download the **Dineora**  theme package from ThemeForest
• Check the minimum server requirements:

- max_execution_time = 600
- upload_max_filesize = 32M
- post_max_size = 48M
- memory_limit = 700M
- max_input_time = 300
- max_input_vars = 10000

• Make sure file and folder permissions are correct: Files: 644, Folders: 755
• Keep your WordPress, PHP, and hosting updated

This ensures a smooth installation and prevents common errors.

### **Step 2: Install the **Dineora**  Theme**

You can upload the theme either through the WordPress Dashboard or via FTP.

**WordPress Dashboard Upload**

• Log in to your WordPress admin panel
• Go to Appearance > Themes
• Click **Add New** and then **Upload Theme**
• Select the ****dineora** .zip** file and click **Install Now**
• After installation, click **Activate** to enable the theme

**FTP Upload**

• Unzip the ****dineora** .zip** file
• Connect to your hosting using an FTP client
• Navigate to **wp-content/themes**
• Upload the ****Dineora**** folder
• Log in to WordPress and activate the theme from Appearance > Themes

**Note: **Always activate the ****Dineora**  Child Theme** instead of the parent theme to ensure your customizations are safe during updates. The child theme is included in your theme bundle. Install it following the standard theme installation process.

### **Step 4: Import Demo Data**

You can set up your site like the demo in two ways.

**One-Click Demo Import**

Use this option only on a fresh website without existing content.
The importer will automatically load all pages, menus, settings, and widgets.

Navigate to **Appearance > Import Demo Data**, then select and install the demo content option that best fits your site setup.

### **Manual Demo Import**

If you already have content on your site, use manual XML import instead. This avoids overwriting your existing data.

Navigate to **Tools > Import** in your WordPress dashboard and import the XML file provided with your theme bundle following the standard process.
