Setting up the Hybrid News theme should be easy. Before you do any of the below, you need to download and install (not activate) the Hybrid theme.
Here are the instructions for getting the theme to work:
Installing the Hybrid News theme
- Download the Hybrid News theme (I’m assuming you’ve done this already).
- Unzip the folder you downloaded.
- Upload the
hybrid-newsfolder to your/wp-content/themesdirectory.
Your directory structure should look like this:
/wp-content
/themes
/hybrid-newsActivating the Hybrid News theme
Since you’re installing a child theme, don’t activate Hybrid. You need to activate the Hybrid News theme.
- Login into WordPress dashboard (administration).
- Click on the Appearance link (may be Themes or Design in some WP versions).
- Click on the screenshot for Hybrid News.
- Cick on “Activate Hybrid News” (WP 2.6+).
