VORTEX Basic Installation

VORTEX Simple Installation & Activation
Localbiz Vortex is a WordPress theme just like any other theme, except for the fact that its file size is quite large and thus it can take 2 to 3 minutes to upload whereas many themes upload in well under 30 seconds.

No Plugins To Load Separately: There are no separate plugins required for VORTEX to make it work, and so you need not be concerned with anything other than a straightforward zip file upload using the WP themes uploader in your WP site dashboad (Appearance/Themes/Add New/)

Steps for installation:

1. Firstly you need to have WordPress installed. You can use something like "Softaculous" script installer via cPanel to make it easy.
2. Next you need to upload the VORTEX theme files (a zip file just as downloaded)
3. Finally, once installed you'll need to activate the VORTEX theme inside the activation panel using the 20-digit activation key and email given to you at purchase. (if for any reason you cannot find your activation key, you can send us an email at admin@localbizvortex.com to request assistance with that).
   
   After the VORTEX theme has been activated and you go to the front end of your site it will look very bland with the typical "Hello World" post there.
   Therefore I recommend that you should use the "Base Site Installation Wizard" in the main (GENERAL) panel of the VORTEX Central Control Panel to create a basic site which you can then edit to suit your needs.
