    1. I’ve unzipped jevelin theme zip file which I’ve downloaded from the ThemeForest.

     

    Now I have two different zip files: jevelin.zip and jevelin-child.zip which one should I upload to my WordPress site?

     

    If jevelin.zip is the main theme, what is the purpose of the jevelin-child.zip? I’ve tried to find any documentation regarding this file but it seems I can’t find it anyway.

    2.  Another question regarding woocommerce is it possible not to install it at all, I mean will it break anything if I don’t install it at all?

    Hi @Konrud,

     

    I hope you are well today and thank you for your questions.

     

    Now I have two different zip files: jevelin.zip and jevelin-child.zip which one should I upload to my WordPress site?

    Both. First install jevelin.zip and then jevelin-child.zip

     

    If jevelin.zip is the main theme, what is the purpose of the jevelin-child.zip?

    The jevelin-child.zip is a child theme of main jevelin.zip theme.

     

    You can get information about WordPress child theme on the following pages.

    2.  Another question regarding woocommerce is it possible not to install it at all, I mean will it break anything if I don’t install it at all?

    WooCommerce is a free eCommerce plugin that allows you to sell anything on your site so if you don’t want to sell anything on your site then just don’t use it.

    1.When I install the jevelin-child theme, should I apply it or only install it?

    2.If I do need to apply it will it change my settings/colors/css?

    3.If I need to change something (for example 404 page) what I need to do in that case?

    You should activate it.

     

    2.If I do need to apply it will it change my settings/colors/css?

    No

     

    3.If I need to change something (for example 404 page) what I need to do in that case?

    You need to develop custom code in the child theme as described on this page https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
