    Next, navigate to the Appearance section of your WordPress dashboard. Once there, click on Add New, then Upload.

Once you have installed the CherryFramework.zip file, continues with the theme zip file also located in that same directory. Be sure to activate the theme once the installation has completed.

  1. Import sample data xml file

    First, navigate to the Cherry Options menu item, then click on Import. Once on the upload screen, click Browse, then navigate to the the folder that you previously extracted.

    Now that you have imported your sample data, you will need to then assign an author to that sample data. In this example, I only have one admin user so I will assign the data to that user.

    As the theme is greatly controlled by widgets to make customization a lot easier, you will need to import your widget data. Do do so, click the Browse button and locate your widgets.json file. This file is located in the same location as the sample data. Once this file is selected, click Next.

  4. Disable unneeded widgets

    After importing your widgets file, you will need to select what widgets you want to import. Most users will just leave each box checked here. Click the Next button when finished.

  5. Permalink Settings

    The final step will bring you to your permalinks settings. By default, it set you up with the category, then postname. Of course, you can adjust this to suit your needs but the default will work well for the majority of users.
