Installation

Installing Tabule Theme takes just a few minutes. Follow the steps below to get started.

Upload via WordPress admin

This is the recommended method for most users.

  1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Go to Appearance → Themes.
  3. Click Add New Theme, then click Upload Theme.
  4. Click Choose File and select the tabule-theme.zip file you downloaded.
  5. Click Install Now.
  6. After installation, click Activate.

Upload via FTP / cPanel

Use this method if the WordPress uploader times out (common on large shared hosting plans).

  1. Unzip tabule-theme.zip on your computer. You should have a folder called tabule-theme.
  2. Connect to your server via FTP or open the cPanel File Manager.
  3. Upload the tabule-theme folder to /wp-content/themes/.
  4. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance → Themes and click Activate on Tabule Theme.
💡

In cPanel File Manager, you can upload the .zip directly and use the Extract button — no need to unzip locally first.

After activation

Once the theme is active:

  • Go to Appearance → Tabule → License and enter your license key to unlock all features.
  • Go to Appearance → Customize to configure fonts, colors, layout, and other visual settings.
  • Go to Appearance → Menus to assign a menu to the Main Menu location.
  • Go to Appearance → Tabule → Settings to configure performance options.

Installing the child theme (optional)

If you plan to make custom code changes, install the Tabule child theme first. The child theme lets you override templates and add CSS/PHP without losing changes on parent theme updates.

  1. Upload and activate tabule-theme-child.zip following the same steps above.
  2. The child theme must be activated instead of the parent theme — not alongside it.
  3. Add your custom CSS to the child theme's style.css and custom PHP to its functions.php.
⚠️

Never edit the parent theme files directly. Updates will overwrite your changes. Always use the child theme for customizations.
