Publisher runs on the base of 2 main plugins Tevolution and DigitalDownloads. So you must go through their guides as well to use publisher well.

Installing Publisher

• Connect to member area and expand the Publisher section under My Downloads. Download all available files. It will have four folders Supreme, Publisher (Theme), Tevolution and Digital Downloads (Plugins).

• Once the install process is done click on Activate Plugin
• Navigate again to Plugins -> Add New -> Upload and repeat the steps for tevolution-digitaldownloads.zip. Activate the plugin once the install is completed.
  • On activating this plugin, A module named Digital Downloads will appear in wp-admin -> Tevolution -> Dashboard, activate it from there too.
• With the plugins installed navigate to Appearance -> Themes. Click on the Install Themes tab and then on Upload. Use the Browse option to locate the supreme zip file on your hard drive – then click on Install Now. After the installation process is finished do not activate supreme.
• Navigate again to Appearance -> Themes -> Install Themes -> Upload but this time load/install the Publisher zip file. Once it’s installed activate the theme.

In case WordPress rejects the .zip files use FTP to install the theme

• Once uploading is done connect to the WordPress dashboard and activate them in this order:

Other Plugin’s Support:

We have also provided compatibility with some other plugins:
WooCommerce:

• You can click here to download wooCommerce.
• See the “Getting Started” Tutorial for installation and setting up WooCommerce plugin.
• WooCommerce’s Documentation/guide is available here.

bbPress:
Let’s see how this plugin works.

• First, download, install and activate bbPress just like you activate any other plugin. You can get it from here.
• When we activate the plugin, three taxonomies are added – Forums, Topics, and Replies. Replied depends on its Topic. Topic depends on its forum.
• For Example, In Templatic Forums, there are different forums: Catalog theme forums, GeoPlaces Theme Forums, etc… This Catalog theme forum is a “Forum” in bbPress.
• Now, under Catalog theme forums there will be many forums. These are treated as “Topics”.
• And a Topic can have many replies. Each of them is known as “Replies” in bbPress.
• Forums can only be added from backend. Topics & Replies can be added from Front-end & back-end.
• If you are adding a Topic from back-end, then you must select Forum for that topic from WP-admin -> Forums -> New Forum -> Forum Attributes -> Type field.
• If you are adding a Reply from back-end, then you must select its respective forum and topic from WP-admin -> Replies -> New Reply -> Reply Attributes section.
• bbPress’s other settings are placed in WP-admin -> Settings -> Forums.
