Installing Merriment

Requirements

ClassicPress 2.0 or later
PHP 7.4 or later

Download the theme

Merriment is free. Download the latest version from the Merriment releases on GitHub. You’ll get a .zip file. Don’t unzip it, as you’ll upload the zip as-is.

Upload and activate

In your dashboard, go to Appearance → Themes and click Add New.
Click Upload Theme, choose the Merriment .zip file, and click Install Now.
Once it’s installed, click Activate.

That’s it. Merriment is now your active theme. Next, head to Customizing Merriment to make it your own.

Updating

To update, download the newest version and upload it the same way. When asked, choose to replace the current version with the uploaded one.

Any changes you made directly to Merriment’s files will be lost when you update. To keep your customizations safe, use a child theme.
