How to download theme from Themeforest

Estimated reading: 3 minutes 32 views

Purchasing a premium theme is only the first step. To start building your website with a Themepul theme, you will need to download the theme files directly from your ThemeForest account. ThemeForest provides a simple process to access all of your purchased items, including WordPress themes, plugins, and other assets. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you successfully download your purchased theme.

Step 1: Log in to ThemeForest

Go to ThemeForest.net and log in with the Envato account you used to make the purchase. If you have multiple Envato accounts, ensure that you are signed in with the correct one to access your purchased theme.

Step 2: Navigate to Your Downloads Page

Once logged in, click on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the page. From the dropdown menu, select Downloads. This will take you to a page that contains a list of all the items you’ve purchased from ThemeForest.

Step 3: Locate Your Purchased Theme

In the Downloads list, find the Themepul theme you want to install. Each item will have a corresponding Download button on the right-hand side.

Step 4: Choose the Download Option

When you click on the Download button, ThemeForest will present you with multiple file options:

  • All Files & Documentation
    This package includes everything related to your theme: the theme .zip file, child theme (if provided), demo content, and full documentation. This option is recommended if you are installing the theme for the first time.
  • Installable WordPress File Only
    This option provides only the main theme .zip file. You can directly upload this file into WordPress. Choose this if you don’t need demo content or documentation.
  • License Certificate & Purchase Code
    This file includes your purchase code and license information. Keep this safe, as it may be required for theme activation, future updates, or support requests.
  • PDF Documentation (if available)
    Some themes include a separate PDF guide that you can download here.

Step 5: Save and Extract the Files

Once you select an option, your browser will download the .zip file to your computer. If you chose All Files & Documentation, unzip the package. Inside, you will find:

  • The installable theme file (usually named like themename.zip)
  • The child theme (if provided)
  • A Documentation folder with instructions and setup guides
  • Optional demo content, images, or plugins that may be required for setup

Important Notes

  • If you attempt to upload the entire All Files & Documentation .zip directly into WordPress, you will get an error. You must first unzip the package and then upload only the installable theme file.
  • Keep a copy of your purchase code/license certificate — it may be needed to register your theme for updates and premium support.
  • Always download the latest version of your theme to ensure compatibility with the newest version of WordPress.

By following these steps, you’ll have the complete Themepul theme package ready for installation. Once downloaded, you can move on to the next step: installing the theme in WordPress.
