Terrifico is a complete theme on its own. Terrifico Pro is an optional plugin that adds to it. You need WordPress 6.6 or newer and PHP 8.1 or newer.<\/p>\n

Install the free theme<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. In your dashboard go to Appearance \u2192 Themes \u2192 Add New<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  2. Search for Terrifico<\/strong>, click Install<\/em>, then Activate<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  3. Open Appearance \u2192 Customize<\/em>. On a brand-new site the Customizer previews a starter site (front page, About, Services, Projects, Blog and Contact pages, sample posts, a menu and footer widgets). Nothing is saved until you click Publish<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The theme updates from WordPress.org like any other theme, under Dashboard \u2192 Updates<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    Add Terrifico Pro<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Buy a license in the store<\/a>. You get a download link for terrifico-pro-<version>.zip<\/code> and a license key that starts with TFPRO-<\/code>.<\/li>\n
    2. Go to Plugins \u2192 Add New \u2192 Upload Plugin<\/em>, choose the zip, click Install Now<\/em>, then Activate<\/em>.<\/li>\n
    3. The setup wizard opens once: License \u2192 Demo \u2192 Basics \u2192 Done<\/em>. Every step can be skipped and done later.<\/li>\n
    4. Terrifico Pro adds a Terrifico<\/strong> menu to the dashboard: Dashboard, Theme Options, Header & Footer, Demos, Elementor, License, Settings and Theme Builder.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Pro needs the free theme to be installed and active. If it is missing, inactive or too old, a notice with a one-click Install<\/em>, Activate<\/em> or Update<\/em> button appears and Pro waits until it is fixed.<\/p>\n

      Coming from Terrifico 1.x?<\/h2>\n

      Update as usual. Your 1.x colors, footer text, social links, menu and widgets are moved to the new options automatically, and a notice confirms it. The 1.x home page sections (slider, services, call to action) were retired; rebuild them with the front page sections or the block patterns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
