You have two options how to upload themes in Wordpress and I will cover them both now. You can either upload all theme files via FTP or you can use Wordpress Theme Uploader. It really doesn't matter at all which one of these techniques you want to use, so choose the one which seems to make more sense to you.
So I assume you do know how to use your FTP client of choice (like Filezilla), but if you don't, then try Theme Uploader method.
wp-content hemes
folder.Antica Theme
folder, which you just unzipped antica.zip.wp-content/themes
, which you found earlier.Navigate to Appearance -> Themes -> Add New -> Upload Theme. Select antica.zip file. Press the Install Now button to upload and install the theme.
After theme is successfully uploaded, head on to Appearance -> Themes, in Wordpress backend. There should be now one new theme called . Find it and just click Activate (if theme was uploaded via FTP)
Or click Activate right after theme was installed (if it was installed with Theme Uploader)

Here you will see suggestion to use child theme for any theme customization. Using it you will save all your changes, even if main theme will be updated.
That's all. In a few minutes your all plugins were installed, demo data imported and website looks now same as on demo!
A WordPress child theme takes the functionality of another theme, named parent theme. It gives you the possibility to customize an existing theme. Instead of modifying the theme files directly, you can activate the child theme and work within it. All customizations are stored in the child theme and anything in the child takes priority over the parent. So if the same file exist in both child and parent, the file from the child will control that aspect of the theme.
Working with child themes, your customizations are safeguarded from future upgrades because you only upgrade the parent theme, which you never edit, while the customizations are protected in your child theme which you don’t upgrade.
Safe Updates. You can easily modify your website using child themes without ever changing the parent theme. When a new version of the parent theme appears, you can safely update it as all your modifications are saved in the child theme.
Easy to Extend. A child theme has a great flexibility. It does not require writing a lot of code. You can modify only those template files and functions that you need.
While you should never edit files in your Parent theme, if you really must, the safest way to do it is to download a copy of the file you want to modify on your computer, make the changes, and then upload it into your child theme folder.
This way of modifying the files can be used for any files from the parent theme — note that you must re-create the same folder structure in your child theme that exist in the parent theme in order for the modifications to take effect.

Antica is translation-ready theme. We will show you how to translate our theme.
There are three file types and they contain:
There are a lot of translation editors. The most popular is Poedit. It is very easy to use and we will show you how theme could be translated.
Click the “Create new translation" in Poedit and browse .pot file for our theme. You should be able to find it in the folder titled “languages” in the theme folder.
Select language.
Poedit saves your translation according to the language and an associated country (for localization).
The resulting .po file will be titled according to abbreviations for the language and associated country. In our case, we’re using German, so our file will be de_DE.po.
Poedit creates these extensions automatically, but here’s a list of country and language codes
The .pot file has already compiled everything you need to translate. Here you can see how this text lines look:
When you save your new .po file from Poedit, the application automatically generates an additional .mo file and saves it in the same directory on your hard drive.
After saving the files to your hard drive, add a the antica prefix to them, so for example
de_DE.po becomes antica-de_DE.po
de_DE.mo becomes antica-de_DE.mo
After renaming the files, use an FTP client to upload both files to the wp-content/languages/themes folder in your theme’s directory. Now you just have to tell WordPress to use the translation you created.
