Theme Help

Installation

Download Skrollex .zip file from ThemeForest and unzip that file to your desktop. The skrollex.zip is used to install via WordPress. It is located inside downloaded .zip file.

You can install and activate Skrollex just like any WordPress theme, but Layers must be installed first. Layers is a free WordPress site builder. You must have Layers already installed, but it does not need to be activated.

We recommended to install the theme via FTP. If you get message while trying to upload the theme via Administration Panel: "Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again", it means that theme zip file is larger than max upload file size allowed in configuration of your server. Please either increase that limit or upload the theme via FTP.

Please make sure that your system meets minimal requirements:

  • PHP 5.4 or newer
  • Mysql 5.x
  • WordPress 4.4.2 or newer
  • Layers 1.5.5.
