Installation

Install and activate Epiktetos from a theme ZIP or local theme folder.

Install Epiktetos like a standard WordPress theme. The package should contain the epiktetos theme directory with style.css, functions.php, theme.json, templates/, parts/, inc/, and assets/.

Install from WordPress admin

  1. Open WordPress admin.
  2. Go to Appearance > Themes.
  3. Select Add New Theme.
  4. Select Upload Theme.
  5. Upload the Epiktetos ZIP file.
  6. Select Install Now.
  7. Activate the theme.

After activation, Epiktetos registers theme supports, menu locations, shortcodes, admin screens, and the saved-articles rewrite route.

Install from the filesystem

For local development, place the extracted theme directory at:

Code
wp-content/themes/epiktetos/

Then activate Epiktetos from Appearance > Themes.

Activation behavior

On activation, the theme:

  • Registers the Primary Navigation and Footer Navigation menu locations.
  • Seeds default primary and footer menus only when those locations are empty.
  • Shows a setup wizard notice in the admin area.
  • Makes Appearance > Epiktetos available for theme-specific settings.

Permalink refresh

The theme includes a /saved/ reader route. If that route does not load after activation, visit Settings > Permalinks and save once to refresh rewrite rules.

Verify the installation

After activation, check:

  • Appearance > Themes shows Epiktetos as the active theme.
  • Appearance > Editor opens the block theme editor.
  • Appearance > Menus shows Primary Navigation and Footer Navigation locations.
  • Appearance > Epiktetos opens the theme settings area.
  • The front page loads without PHP errors.
