Typer documentation

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.

Get started in 5 steps

Install Typer and the Typer child theme from Appearance > Themes > Add New Theme > Upload Theme, then activate Typer Child. Check the requirements of your hosting first.
The Typer Panel opens. You find it any time under Appearance > Typer Panel.
Register Typer with your ThemeForest purchase code on the Dashboard tab.
Import a demo (Publisher, Tutorials Hub or Travel Agency) on the Demo Data tab. The import installs and activates the plugins that demo needs.
Make it yours in Appearance > Customize > Typer Options (Customizer overview, header and footer).

Later: add or update plugins on the Plugins tab (Typer plugins) and keep Typer 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: 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.
