When you purchase our Joomla! template, you'll then be taken to the Downloads page. Click on the template file name to download or you can check back anytime by going to Customer Area page.
Package file name: template_name_VERSION.zip
Install the Joomla Template package file by navigating to System → Extensions → Install. Locate the downloaded ZIP and click Upload & Install to begin the installation process.
Make sure you have not installed a Joomla Quickstart package. It's a full Joomla installation and cannot be installed into an existing Joomla site.
After installing the template package, go to System → Site Template Styles, select the template (ie: Enterprise) and and click Default in the button toolbar.
The Quickstart package is a Joomla demo package which is a full Joomla installation including Joomla Template from WarpTheme, 3rd extensions and the corresponding theme demo content. This is great if you don't want to start from scratch or if you would like to have a peek at how everything is put together.
Package file name: template_name_quickstart_j4.zip
The template_name_quickstart_j4.zip contains the Joomla backup archive (.jpa) and kickstart.php file (to extract your JPA archive directly on your server.)
Quick start package is a full Joomla installation package, It's strictly for use with a new Joomla installation to provide you with a duplicate of our demo for that particular template. It's cannot be installed into an existing Joomla site.
We are using Akeeba component to generate a Joomla Quickstart package. You have to install the quick start package just like a typical Joomla installation process.
Browse the Account Dashboard and download one of the Joomla quick start packages NAME_demo_package_j4.zip. Unzip it to your web server directory.

Now just follow the regular Akeeba Kickstart installation instructions for the extraction.

Most Joomla demo packages make additional use of third-party plugins. They are free and already preinstalled and configured in the demo package. Here is the list of all components.
Component
Description
Drag & Drop Joomla Page Builder by Joomshaper
Free Joomla! newsletter plugin.
Joomla Page Builder by ThemeXpert
Quickstart built with SP Pagebuilder already included 50+ WarpTheme Extra Add-ons for free. These extra add-ons working fine with both Sp Pagebuilder free/pro version.
Once this is done, navigate to System → Site Template Styles → select the template you wish to configure then click the Template Options button.
This should take you to the overview of setting panels for that template.
This is an extra step if you start with a fresh installation (with only the template package) or use the template for an existing Joomla website. Installing the Uikit assets plugin for extra add-ons so you can get the full functionality for all extra add-ons while working with SP Page Builder component.
All Pro template installation packages include 50+ extra add-ons, but the Uikit Assets plugin is not included or installed. This plugin loads the CSS/js libraries to add the functionality for Extra add-ons like Number counter, particlesjs, headline or light gallery add-on.
The installation process is exactly the same as installing a template package. You can do so by clicking the buttons below, or download via product page.
Install the Plugin assets (named similarly to plg_uikitassets.zip) by navigating to System → Extensions → Select the "Browse for file" button. Locate the downloaded ZIP, select the plugin to begin the installation process.
Enable the Uikit assets plugin:
After install the Uikit assets plugin, go to Extensions -> Plugins -> search for extra then enable the System - Extra Addon Assets.
Note: The System - Extra Addon Assets plugin needs to be enabled to perform the Extra Add-on functionality. By default, the Enable Uikit Framework option is set to NO, if you are using Warptheme templates, just leave this option to NO because the template already included the Uikit framework.
