INSTALLING THE X THEME
This is our first in our “WordPress Theme Tutorial Series” about the “X-Theme” by ThemeCo.
If you’re building a new website using WordPress, one of the first steps will be to choose or install the theme you want to use. I HIGHLY recommend X for just about any project because it is both powerful and flexible and the Cornerstone page editor makes building a site fast and easy.
If you haven’t gotten a copy of X for yourself yet, you can check it out at Themeforest.net here: http://bit.ly/XThemeWordpress
If you already own a copy of the theme, I highly recommend that you check out all of the resources available in the Members section at https://community.theme.co/.
You should also join the user-run community on Facebook because there’s a few thousand great users there who love to help each other with challenges they may have. https://www.facebook.com/groups/xthem…

Can I download the theme and use it on two websites ? with the same zipped file?
I feel like I’m getting scammed, does anyone know why you have to pay $29?
Great video!!!! Thanks!!! I do have one question? What WordPress hosting plan do you need to be on at least to be able to install X Theme or any other them on WordPress? I see that the 4 dollar one doesn't allow outside themes.
Thanks for the great tutorial.
**Annotated instructions from video**
WP Dashboard/Appearance>>Themes>> Add New>> Upload Theme
Browse and find x.zip and x.child.zip
Click Chose File
Upload x.zip
Install now
– Go back to Main (do not activate yet)
– Return to Themes page
Install child theme (exists so you can make update to html and php without fear of updating parent theme, overriding changes)
Click Add new
Upload theme
Choose x.child.zip
Activate x.child theme
I was able to install the x.zip from the unzipped folder but i can't find the x child theme to upload. Help me please.
Thanks for the great tutorial. My download doesn't have x-child.zip. Is this an error?
Hey there! It tells me the size of the file is too big. Any suggestions on how to get around that?
You are awesome!
The add new button is not there? Any idea what's going on? Has WordPress changed their layout or something?
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you!
In the video you uploaded the x.zip file and you said not to activate it right now but to go back and upload the x-child.zip and you activated it right after you uploaded it are we also supposed to go and activate the x.zip or do we leave it alone because I feel like I'm supposed to activate all of them. Thank you so much for all the advice and hard work you're putting into teaching this stuff so the regular Joe's like me can do really amazing stuff like this.
Great tutorial Mark. Looking forward to the next video in the WordPress series. I am in the process of setting up a site with modules with video content, any advice you could share with people that are creating a site built for video content?
Mark -THANK YOU so much for this tutorial! I am a tech idiot and a newbie to web design and WP. I had the same issue with not immediately having Xchild available to me. Your answer below works! Though the wordage caused me to have to look carefully for it. Onward!
Very good video from a like and subscriber. What if you unzip the main file and don't have a child theme? Do I just install the x.zip file and work from that or ???
Help me please, there aren`t any "add new" button……
Thanks Mark for the video. I would really like to see more X Theme videos.
Thank you, Mark. Is X "newbie" friendly for a non-techie to build a website on his own?
