Quick Installation & Demo Import

Step 1: Upload and Activate the Theme #

Option A — Install via WordPress Dashboard #

  • You need to login to the dashboard first then Download the theme installation file from the download section of the dashboard page
  • Log in to your WordPress admin panel.
  • Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme.
  • Choose your downloaded ZIP file (e.g., onelisting-pro.zip).
  • Click Install Now, then Activate.

Option B — Install via FTP/SFTP #

  1. Extract the ZIP file on your computer.
  2. Upload the folder (e.g., /onelisting-pro/) to:
    /wp-content/themes/
  3. Log in to your WordPress dashboard and activate the theme under Appearance → Themes.

Step 2: Install Required and Recommended Plugins #

After activating the theme, you will see a notice at the top of your Themes page like this:

“This theme recommends the following plugins: Elementor Page Builder, OneListing Toolkit and WpWax Demo Importer.”

To proceed:

  1. Click Begin installing plugins.
  2. The plugin installer will open, showing all required and recommended plugins.
  3. Select all items and choose Install → Apply.
  4. Once installation is complete, click Activate for each plugin.

Optional Directorist Extensions: Please navigate to Directory listings > Themes & Extensions > Required Extensions and install/activate Business Hours, Listings with Map, Social Login, Pricing Plans, Booking, Claim Listing, PayPal Gateway, Stripe Gateway and other required extensions.

Step 3: Import Demo Content (One-Click Import) #

The demo import will instantly recreate the look of our live demo. Ensure all required/recommended plugins are active.

  • Go to Tools → Demo Content Install
    (or Plugins → WpWax Demo Importer → Install Demo Contents)
  • Click Install Demo and wait until the process completes.

  • Go to Settings → Permalinks → Post name → Save Changes to refresh URLs.

Note: Importing demo content will overwrite your existing pages and settings. Perform it on a new or staging site.

Step 4: Final Setup #

  • Assign menus under Appearance → Menus → Manage Locations
  • Add footer widgets under Appearance → Widgets
  • Revisit Directory Listings → Directory Builder to confirm your directory layout (Add Listing, All Listings, Single Listing, Search Form)

Troubleshooting Import Issues #

If the import stops or fails:

  • Increase PHP limits (memory_limit, max_execution_time, etc.)
  • Clear your browser/server cache and retry
  • Use a fresh WordPress installation
  • Try manual import using the One Click Demo Import plugin (import .xml, .wie, and .dat files manually)
