In addition, recently there was a powerful update realized for this template – new gorgeous skins, various premade sections, compatibility with different plugins, as well as other premium things. But that’s not what this article is about. Today, I want to tell you how to set up and activate Monstroid2 WordPress theme on your WordPress website in one click. We’ll explore purchasing the theme and installing it on your website, activating the theme, installing the plugins and skins, and getting Monstroid2 ready to work. Remember, to complete the process of purchasing the theme, you will need a TemplateMonster marketplace account.
Well, let’s start!

- Do not close this page, because later you will need some information from it to activate the theme from your WordPress dashboard.
Unzipping the ZIP file with the theme
Once you unzip the folder in which the Monstroid2 theme goes, you will find an info file and three folders: documentation, manual install, and theme wizard. The second folder will help you set up the WordPress theme manually. To install Monstroid2 through WordPress dashboard, you will need to go to the theme wizard folder where you can find the ZIP file.
Installation through WordPress dashboard
Now, head over to your WordPress dashboard. To install Monstroid2 theme wizard, you will not need to go to the Appearance option and then install it like a WordPress theme.
Instead, you need to do these steps:
- Go to “Plugins” section and click “Add New”.
- Press “Upload Plugin”, choose your ZIP file and click “Activate Plugin”.
- The next step is entering your order ID. You can get in on the page where you downloaded the theme or in the email that was sent to you after you completed the order.
- After that, go back to your WordPress dashboard and enter the order ID. Make sure there are no spaces or characters that do not have to be there. Otherwise, this order ID will not work.
Skins and plugins installation
If everything is correct, your theme will now be activated and you will be given a choice to continue with a parent theme or to use the child theme. Developers recommend continuing with a child theme – it is easier to customize later. The theme wizard has downloaded everything for you. So now you can select the skin and start the installation. You will see a wide variety of skins, and you can install them right away or view the demo of the particular skin. In addition, this collection of skins will constantly be updated by developers.
Once you choose a particular skin to install, choose which plugins you’d like to go within the skin. Then all the plugins will be installed automatically. After that, you’ll get three options to choose how the demo content (media library elements, post pages and more) will be appended to your website:
- Append the demo content to your existing content (the sample data will be added to the current content of your theme).
- Replace the demo content to your existing content (your current content will be replaced by the new demo content).
- Skip demo content installation (your current content will stay as it is).
