Installing Builder Addons

Installing Builder Addons is exactly the same as installing WordPress plugins.

To install the addon:

• Firstly, download the addon zip file from the link provided in your Themify Member Area.
  • NOTE: some browsers (eg. Safari) auto extract zip files automatically. Right-click on the download link and select "Save Linked File As" and it will allow you to download as a zip file.
• Login to your site's admin area.
• Navigate to WP Admin > Plugins > Add New.
• Now, click the "Upload Plugin" link.
• Select "Browse" and navigate to the plugin zip file which you downloaded in the first step and then select the "Install Now" button.
• This will initiate the plugin installation process, and once finished, you can then activate the plugin.

Importing the addon demo layout

Each addon zip file contains a sample Builder data file which you can import to your site. It helps you to understand how the addon demo is created.

To import the addon demo data:

• First, extract addon zip file to your local computer
• You should have a folder of the addon. Inside there is a folder named "sample", and inside that folder there is a Builder data file in a zip format (eg. "addon_name_sample-builder-layout.zip").
• To import the Builder layout, login to admin and then go to the page frontend where you want to import the Builder layout. From the top admin bar > select Themify Builder > Import / Export > Import, upload the sample zip file.
