Getting Started

Welcome to Milano — a multipurpose WooCommerce theme built for speed, flexibility, and ease of use. This section walks you through everything you need to do before customizing your site.

The fast path — use the setup wizard

Section titled “The fast path — use the setup wizard”

The fastest way to a working Milano site is the setup wizard. It opens the moment you activate Milano and walks you through five steps:

  1. Enter your purchase code and accept the ThemeForest license terms.
  2. Install the child theme.
  3. Install required plugins (WooCommerce and Elementor).
  4. Import a demo storefront (or apply Elementor settings only).
  5. Confirmation screen with shortcuts to the dashboard and Customizer.

Total time: about 30 minutes. The wizard is the recommended path for most users. The wizard only opens once — to run it again, use Milano → Dashboard → License → Re-run the Setup Wizard.

The manual path

If you want more control, or the wizard isn’t right for your setup, follow each step by hand:

  1. Before you begin — check your hosting, PHP version, and download.
  2. Install Milano — upload and activate the theme.
  3. Register your purchase code — license, updates, and support.
  4. Install the child theme — keep your customizations safe.
  5. Install required plugins — WooCommerce and Elementor.
  6. Import a demo — start with a pre-built storefront (optional).
