WordPress - Theme Seller Support



Overview

There are two main benefits to buying a theme support subscription; Seller Support and Auto Installation.

Seller Support

When you purchase a theme subscription, you get access to Seller Support, the Theme Seller’s support forum. From there, you can contact the theme developer for help with the following:

  • The features and functionality included with the theme
  • How the theme is designed
  • How to get the most functionality out of the theme
  • Third-party assets or plugins that may be included with the theme

Auto Installation

We will help you install your theme to as many Bluehost sites as you need. Without a support subscription, you can install your theme manually—it just takes a little more time.
You can find our auto-installer by following the steps below:

  1. Navigate to My Sites in the side navigation menu to the left.
  2. Hover over the site, and click the Manage Site button.
  3. In the first box on the left, click the Manage button under Themes.
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page to the Purchased Premium Themes section.
  5. Click the Install Theme button.

How to contact a theme seller for support

You can access Seller Support (a theme seller support forum) as part of your theme subscription. Here, you can ask the seller about the following:

  • The features and functionality of the theme
  • How the theme is designed
  • How to get the most functionality out of the theme
  • Third-party assets included with the theme, such as plugins that may be bundled with the theme

  2. Select the site you want help with.
  3. In the first box on the left, click on the Manage button under Themes.
  4. Under the Purchased Premium Themes section, click the ellipses icon to the far left of the theme card, then click Seller Support.

  1. Click on Marketplace in the side navigation menu to the left of your homepage.
  2. Click on the Website Themes link in the left-side navigation within the Marketplace tab.

Beyond theme seller support

Consider a WP Live subscription if you need help manually installing a theme or have custom configurations you'd like to use. With WP Live, you get on-demand WordPress support via chat or phone. WP Live agents can walk you through setting up your WordPress theme so that your site looks and feels exactly how you want it to.
