Getting started

Install Reign, activate your licence, import a demo, make the first pass.

• Install Reign What your server needs, how to upload and activate the theme, and where Reign's settings live once it is running.
• Activate your licence Where the licence key goes, what activating unlocks, and what to check when a key is refused.
• A tour of Reign Settings What each of the seven Reign Settings screens does, and which settings live there rather than in the Customizer.
• The Brand your site checklist The eight items on the Reign Settings Home checklist, what each one changes for a visitor, and where it takes you.
• Import a demo What the 32 Reign demos give you, what importing one does to an existing site, and how to run an import from the admin or WP-CLI.
• Update Reign safely How updates arrive, what to do before one, and why a child theme is the difference between a safe update and a lost afternoon.
• First configuration An ordered pass through the settings that matter on a new site, from logo to footer, using the palette-first route rather than the legacy one.
