Take that file to your WordPress dashboard, then → AppearanceThemes Add NewUpload Theme, then select the file, install it, and activate it.

Installing a new WordPress theme

The moment you activate the theme, WordPress maps your existing pages and content into the new design. 

If you already have a services page, an about page, or any job listings set up, they will appear in the new layout without any manual work.

Tip: When you want to update the look later, go back to Telex, make your changes, download a new ZIP, and upload it. When you upload the new ZIP, WordPress keeps your existing content exactly as it is and only applies the new design.

Bonus step: Test your theme on a staging site first

Before activating any theme on a live site, test it in a safe environment first. 

For example, WordPress Playground lets you test your theme directly in the browser without installing anything.
