This guide covers how to install, activate, and update any WPlook WordPress theme.
Download the Theme
- Log in to your account at wplook.com/my-account.
- Go to the Downloads tab.
- Download the theme zip file (e.g. theme-name-wpl.zip).
Install the Theme
Using the WordPress Admin Panel
- Log in to your WordPress admin panel.
- Go to Appearance → Themes.
- Click Add New at the top of the page.
- Click Upload Theme.
- Select the theme zip file you downloaded and click Install Now.
- Once installed, click Activate.
Using FTP
- Extract the theme zip file on your computer.
- Using an FTP client, upload the extracted theme folder to
wp-content/themes/on your server. - Go to Appearance → Themes in your WordPress admin panel.
- Find your theme and click Activate.
After Activation
After activating the theme:
- Follow the notification to install recommended plugins (see Required Plugins).
- Import the demo content via Appearance → Import Demo Data (see Demo Content Import).
- Go to Appearance → Customize to configure the theme settings.
Update the Theme
- Download the latest version from your account.
- Go to Appearance → Themes.
- Activate a different theme temporarily (e.g. a default WordPress theme).
- Delete the old version of the WPlook theme.

Using a child theme? Only update the parent theme. Never delete or update the child theme — your customizations live there.
Troubleshooting
Missing Stylesheet Error
This error means the wrong zip file was uploaded. Make sure you are uploading the theme zip file (e.g. theme-name-wpl.zip), not the full download package. If you downloaded a package containing multiple files, look for the zip file inside it.
