KLEO documentation

KLEO is a WordPress theme for online communities: member profiles and activity with BuddyPress, forums with bbPress, events, paid memberships with Paid Memberships Pro, a shop with WooCommerce, and more than 20 ready-made demos built with Elementor or WPBakery Page Builder. See it live on the KLEO demo site.

Get started in 5 steps

Install KLEO from Appearance > Themes > Add New Theme > Upload Theme and activate it. Check the requirements of your hosting first.
The KLEO Panel opens. You find it any time under Appearance > KLEO Panel. On its Plugins tab, click Install & activate child theme to keep your own changes safe (child theme).
Register KLEO with your ThemeForest purchase code on the Dashboard tab.
Import a demo on the Demo Data tab: choose Elementor or WPBakery, pick a demo and click Import. The import installs and activates the plugins that demo needs.
Make it yours: logo, colors, fonts and layout on the Theme Options tab (overview), menus and header in Header and menus.

Later: add or update plugins on the Plugins tab (KLEO plugins) and keep KLEO up to date (updates).

What is in the ThemeForest download

In your ThemeForest Downloads, choose All files & documentation. You get the main files zip; unzip it on your computer. Inside:

WordPress folder: kleo.zip (the theme) and kleo-child.zip (the child theme). These two zips are the ones you upload in Appearance > Themes > Add New Theme > Upload Theme. Do not upload the main files zip itself.
Plugins folder: K Elements, WPBakery Page Builder, Slider Revolution and the other premium plugins that come with KLEO, for manual installs. Normally you install and update them from the Plugins tab of the KLEO Panel.
Licensing folder: the license files. Your purchase code is in the separate License certificate & purchase code download.
