Tailor is a main theme, which always needs to be installed if you want your website to work correctly. Styles such as Dentist and Yoga are child themes, which can be installed additionally (once Tailor is installed) if you want to use Dentist or Yoga style on your website.

Child Theme installation is analogous process to Main Theme installation. Every child theme has its own zip package with installation files, which you will find in downloaded package.

Example:

You downloaded .zip package with theme files from ThemeForest and want to use on you website Yoga version of YOU.

STEP BY STEP

• STEP 1: Unarchive downloaded package from ThemeForest
• STEP 2: Install tailor.zip file via Administration Panel or FTP
• STEP 3: install Yoga.zip package via Administration Panel or FTP
• STEP 4: go to Appearance > Themes and activate  Yoga
• STEP 5: Import demo content for Yoga Theme

And it’s ready to customize! In analogous way you can install every child theme.

The fastest and easiest way to import our demo content is to use Theme Options 1-click Demo Importer. It will import all pages and posts, several sample sliders, widgets, theme options, assigned pages, and more. We recommend this approach on a newly installed WordPress. It will not replace content such as posts, pages, portfolio, etc. and delete current menus, but configure them and replace theme options. By that, if you have created some posts, pages or portfolio content before an import, you won’t loose them.

To import our demo content, please follow the steps below:

• Step 1 – install and activate plugins listed in Recommended Plugins message {warning}
  

  Recommended plugins

• Step 3 – navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > General – 1-click Demo Import
• Step 4 – click the Import demo content button with multipage or onepager version.

Widgets are small blocks of content, which you can find in theme footer or sidebar. They were originally designed to provide a simple and easy-to-use way of giving design and structure control of the WordPress Theme to the user, which is now available on WordPress Themes to include the header, footer, and elsewhere in the WordPress design and structure. Widgets require no code experience or expertise. They can be added, removed, and rearranged on the WordPress Administration Appearance > Widgets panel.

Just drag and drop the widgets you want, into the right hand side where your sidebars and footer widgets are listed. Simply drag your widgets over to the sidebar or footer column, and then populate the content.
There are various fields and settings you can choose for each individual widget and all are self explanatory. You can also use multiple widgets per footer column, just drag and drop them into place. And you can put as many widgets as you want inside sidebar. Once you have finished populating the widgets, always make sure to hit the Save button to save the settings.
