• READ ME file with important links, information, and notices
• Resource Zip File (this contains any Photoshop files or separate resources related to your design)

If you would like to maintain the layout and linking that was provided in the demo, ProPhoto 7 will build the demo pages, assign the proper layouts, and even link them in the menus. This will make customizing your new design simple and easy!

3. Drag and drop your PP7 Zip Design File (‘design_yourdesignname’) into the Import a design section. 
4. ProPhoto will automatically install your design

6. Navigate to the design you just uploaded and click “Create New Design“
7. ProPhoto will make an exact copy of the original design and ask you to title your new design
8. An “Import Content” popup will display asking you if you would like to create the demo WordPress pages and content. ***This feature will automatically create all the demo pages, assign the proper layouts, and even link pages to menus. Click “Continue” to enable this feature  
9. Add any title and select the blue CUSTOMIZE button to activate this design.
10. Once loaded, you can access your design from the WordPress sidebar to open the ProPhoto Visual Builder 

• Missing Stylesheet: A missing stylesheet error message indicates that you uploaded the zip file as a WordPress Theme and not as a ProPhoto Design zip. Please see the ProPhoto Create and Manage Designs tutorial for assistance on correcting this error.
• If you experience any other errors please read the ProPhoto Create and Manage Designs tutorial. If you continue to experience upload errors please contact the ProPhoto support team for additional assistance.
