Install on WordPress

Lumen, Fieldnote and Quay need WordPress 6.4 or newer and PHP 8.0 or newer.

  1. Download the theme .zip from the link in your order email. Keep it zipped.
  2. In WordPress, open Appearance → Themes and choose Add New Theme, then Upload Theme.
  3. Select the .zip file and choose Install Now.
  4. Choose Activate. Your existing posts and pages stay as they are.
  5. Open Appearance → Editor → Styles to pick the light or dark variant.

If the upload fails with a file size error, ask your host to raise upload_max_filesize to at least 16 MB, or upload the unzipped folder to wp-content/themes over SFTP.

Install on Shopify

Haldor and Mercer are Online Store 2.0 themes and work on every Shopify plan.

  1. Download the theme .zip from your order email.
  2. In Shopify admin, open Online Store → Themes.
  3. In the theme library, choose Add theme → Upload zip file.
  4. Choose Customize to set colours, fonts and your logo before publishing.
  5. When the preview looks right, choose Publish.

Updates

We send an email when a new version is out, with a short list of what changed. On WordPress, upload the new .zip the same way; WordPress offers to replace the current version and keeps your settings. On Shopify, upload the new version as a second theme, copy your customisations across, then publish it.

Child themes

If you change template files, use a child theme so updates don't overwrite your work. Every WordPress download includes an empty child theme in the extras folder.
