# Typer documentation

> Set up Typer, the WordPress theme for publishing communities: install it, register it in the Typer Panel, import a demo, then customize layouts, posts and user profiles.

Typer is a WordPress theme for magazines and publishing communities where members publish articles and have their own profiles. It uses Elementor and the Customizer, with front-end profiles and posting from Typer's own plugins. See it live on the [Typer demo](https://typer.seventhqueen.com/).

## Get started in 5 steps

1. [Install Typer and the Typer child theme](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/typer/install-the-theme/) from **Appearance > Themes > Add New Theme > Upload Theme**, then activate **Typer Child**. Check the [requirements](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/typer/theme-requirements/) of your hosting first.
2. The **Typer Panel** opens. You find it any time under **Appearance > Typer Panel**.
3. [Register Typer](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/typer/register-your-theme/) with your ThemeForest purchase code on the **Dashboard** tab.
4. [Import a demo](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/typer/import-demo-content-typer/) (Publisher, Tutorials Hub or Travel Agency) on the **Demo Data** tab. The import installs and activates the plugins that demo needs.
5. Make it yours in **Appearance > Customize > Typer Options** ([Customizer overview](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/typer/customizer-for-typer/), [header and footer](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/typer/how-to-customize-header-and-footer-sections-in-typer/)).

Later: add or update plugins on the **Plugins** tab ([Typer plugins](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/typer/bundled-plugins-typer/)) and keep Typer up to date ([updates](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/typer/theme-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: `typer.zip` (the theme) and `typer-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: The premium plugins that come with Typer, for manual installs. Normally you install and update them from the **Plugins** tab of the Typer Panel.
- **Licensing** folder: the license files. Your purchase code is in the separate **License certificate & purchase code** download.
