But here’s the thing — installing the Influista Kadence Child Theme is genuinely, honestly, hand-on-heart easier than you think. If you can follow a recipe, you can absolutely do this!!
You Don’t Need to Be a Techie — Promise!!
Let me paint you a picture of what the installation process actually looks like:

What’s Actually Involved?
The Influista installation has just four simple steps — and each one has its own video so you’re never left guessing!
Step 1 — Install the Free Kadence Theme
Kadence is the parent theme that Influista sits on top of — think of it as the foundation. You find it in your WordPress theme library, click Install and then Activate. Simple as that! Watch the video and you’ll have it done in minutes!
Step 2 — Install the Free Plugins
Two free plugins — Kadence Blocks and Kadence Starter Templates — give your site the extra functionality it needs. Find them in your WordPress plugin library, install both and activate them. Again — a few clicks and you’re done!
Step 3 — Upload Your Influista Zip File
After purchase you’ll receive a link to download your Influista zip file — please don’t unzip it, WordPress needs it exactly as it is! Then it’s just Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme → Choose File → Install Now → Activate. Done!!
Step 4 — Import Your Content
This is the magical bit!! Go to Plugins → Starter Templates by Kadence WP → View Templates Library → find the Graffinx Ltd logo → click the theme → click Finish and Launch. Then sit back and watch while Influista builds your beautiful new website for you!! 😊
Still Not Feeling It? That’s Absolutely Fine!!
Look — I know that even with videos, written guides and screenshots, some people just really don’t want to deal with the technical side of things. And that is completely, totally, 100% fine!!
That’s exactly why I offer a professional installation service — and honestly, it’s the most stress-free option of all!!
Here’s how it works: you purchase the Installation Service, send me your WordPress login details and I do everything for you. I install Kadence, set up the plugins, upload and activate Influista and import all the content — while you make yourself a cup of tea and get on with your day!!
By the time you come back, your beautiful new Influista website is ready and waiting for you!! 😊
What Do I Need Before I Start?
Before you install Influista you’ll need:
- A self-hosted WordPress website at wordpress.org — this is different from wordpress.com, so make sure you have the right one!
- Access to your WordPress dashboard — your login details for your site’s admin area
- Your Influista zip file downloaded from the link in your purchase PDF
- About an hour of uninterrupted time — though most people find it takes less!
That’s genuinely everything. If you have all four of those things you are completely ready to go!!
A Little Note About WordPress.org
One thing worth mentioning — Influista runs on WordPress.org which is the self-hosted version of WordPress. This is different from WordPress.com — they’re two separate platforms with two very different levels of flexibility!
WordPress.org is the version used by the majority of the world’s websites — it gives you complete control, complete flexibility and the ability to install themes like Influista. You’ll need a hosting provider to use it — SiteGround and Hostinger are both excellent options!
If you’re not sure which version you have, it’s worth checking before you purchase — and if you’re not sure, just drop me a message and I’ll help you work it out! 😊
Ready to Get Started?
Influista is coming very soon — and when it does, your beautiful new website is just four simple steps away!!
Keep an eye on this blog and follow Graffinx on Facebook — the moment Influista is available you’ll be the first to know!!
And remember — whether you install it yourself or hand it over to me — getting YOUR website live and YOUR voice heard is absolutely worth it!!
Because a life well-lived deserves a website that shows it.
