Theme Wizard Installation

When you first install the theme you'll see the Wizard guide installation.It will help you to install theme easy.Please follow these steps:

Theme License Activation

If you skip the Wizard setup or after the demo content installation your theme is deactivated - you need to activate your theme license.
Please go to the Medina Dashboard and insert your purchase code in the field and click "Activate". Your purchase code you can find HERE

Problems with the Theme License Activation

In some reasons you can have problems with the Theme activation:
1) "Purchase code is wrong" - check that you activate the main theme (not the child). After go Theme Options->License, insert you purchase code (check that it hasn't spaces after (you can mistake copy it with)), click "Save" and wait 5-7 sec. After that, click "Register the code". Some servers have delay and waiting 5-7 sec. solve this problem.
2) "Something wrong, please try later" - that's mean that you need to try to activate your license later because Envato license system is not active at the moment. It happens very seldom, but if after 1 hour you'll have the same notice, please contact our support team via support form from your ThemeForest account.

Installing Theme Plugins

When you first install the theme you'll see a popup on your dashboard from the theme asking you to install a number of plugins.

Allow the theme to install these for you. The plugins which are installed are dependent of the theme, the images below are for illustrative purposes only.

TIP - You can install all plugins at the same time by checking the box at the top of the this list, see below for an example.

Once done (the process should take no more than a few minutes) You will see a confirmation notice similar to the image below.
