1. WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE STARTING

- PHP 7.4+
- Latest WordPress version
- Ability to install themes and plugins
2. INSTALL THE THEME AND IMPORT THE DEMO
Before your site will look like the demo, you’ll need to install the theme and import the demo content. This process will prompt you to install necessary plugins and set up all of your pages, menus, and widgets.
Recommended Plugins for Samantha Theme:

Click on the button below to watch the detailed video tutorial on how to install your Samantha Theme.
After this, your site will look like the Samantha theme demo. You can start customizing right away!
3. CUSTOMIZE YOUR SITE
Now that your theme is installed, and you already imported the demo content. You can start customizing your site. You have to replace images, write posts and pages. The demo will just guide you and make the design process easier.
Often times, when your site is not a fresh install, and you already have all your menus set, your website may look off. You just need to set the menu correctly and everything will be fine.
