Meridian

Install the theme (WordPress)

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.4 or newer
  • PHP 8.0 or newer
  • The gd extension, if you want the demo importer to generate its images

Most hosts meet all three. If you are unsure, Tools → Site Health → Info in

WordPress tells you your PHP version.

Install

  1. Download meridian-wordpress-theme.zip from your account
  2. In WordPress, go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme
  3. Choose the zip and press Install Now
  4. Press Activate

Do not unzip the file first — WordPress wants the zip as it comes.

If the upload fails

Some hosts cap upload size below the theme's size. Two ways round it:

Ask your host to raise upload_max_filesize to 16 MB. This is a normal

request and takes them a minute.

Or upload over SFTP: unzip the file on your computer, then upload the

resulting meridian folder into wp-content/themes/. Refresh the Themes

screen and it will be there.

Next

Import the demo content so you have something to look at and edit:
