Instructions

1. Install a fresh WordPress site.
2. Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme, upload tastevia.zip, then activate Tastevia.
3. Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, upload Plugins/tastevia-core.zip, then activate Tastevia Core.
4. Open Tastevia → Install Plugins.
5. Install and activate Elementor (free) and One Click Demo Import.
6. Open Tastevia → Demo Import, then open One Click Demo Import.
7. Import Tastevia Default and wait until it finishes.
8. Tastevia Core will assign menus, Elementor homepage, blog page, settings, URL remap, and permalinks automatically.
9. If pretty URLs show 404, go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes.

Manual fallback (only if OCDI fails): Tools → Import → WordPress → import Demo-Content/tastevia-demo-content.xml, then set the front page, menus, and Elementor home manually. Important: Do not upload the full-package zip as a theme. Unzip first, then upload tastevia.zip only.
