Template Installation

There’s 2 steps which relate to the use of the code inside the download folder :

Step 1 : Upload the template to your child themes root directory and named the file according to the WordPress Template Hierarchy so the template loads on the archive page according to the template file name.

Step 2 : Copy & paste the CSS from the style.css file to the end of your child themes style sheet and clear caching.
