How to install free website builder WP Layers Print

  • 192

Note: WordPress must first be installed before Layers can be installed.

WordPress Layers is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) website builder. It is free (and according to the official website, always will be) and responsive (which means the site you create will not only be optimised for desktops but mobile devices as well).  




Note: Responsiveness has become even more important since Google introduced changes to its search algorithm to penalise sites that aren’t responsive or “mobile friendly” in search engine results on mobile devices.

Once you’ve successfully logged into WordPress, highlight your cursor over Appearance in the side menu and click Themes.

Click the Add New button towards the top of the page and then click Upload Theme on the subsequent web page that loads. 

Next, you’ll be asked to browse the zip file you downloaded on your local computer, from the layerswp.com website.  If you haven’t downloaded the zip file yet, go to layerswp.com and follow the links. WordPress will now install the theme for you.  

Once installation is complete, all you have to do is browse the Themes area (click Appearance and then Themes) and activate the theme by highlighting your cursor over it and clicking Activate.
