Orchid Store Pro Documentation

Orchid Store Pro is a plugin and not a theme. Orchid Store Pro plugin extends the functionalities and features of Orchid Store, a WordPress theme. The main advantage of the plugin over a theme is that when switching between themes i.e. from free to pro versions, theme settings will change and have to re-configure all the settings. But by installing the plugin you’ll get extra features and functionalities without having a headache to re-configure every theme setting.

For most of the cases, you can look into Orchid Store documentation.

Since Orchid Store Pro is a plugin, we’ll follow steps that are different from installing a theme.

VIA WORDPRESS DASHBOARD:

You can install Orchid Store Pro via the WordPress admin dashboard. This will be the first process of installing Orchid Store Pro on your WordPress website. The instructions are as follows:

• Navigate to WordPress installation folder.
• Navigate to ../wp-content/plugins/ folder.
