WildNest is a WordPress theme designed specifically for RV resorts, campgrounds, caravan parks, cabins, car camping sites, camper van retreats, tent camping areas and outdoor retreats. With WildNest, you can effortlessly showcase your camping sites and resorts while providing a seamless, real-time booking experience. Guests can quickly check if your facilities are booked or available, making their reservation process simple and efficient.
1. Download and unzip the WordPress package if you haven't already.
2. Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL (or MariaDB) user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
3. (Optional) Find and rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php, then edit the file (see Editing wp-config.php) and add your database information.
4. Upload the WordPress files to the desired location on your web server:
If you want to integrate WordPress into the root of your domain (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress directory (excluding the WordPress directory itself) into the root directory of your web server.
If you want to have your WordPress installation in its own subdirectory on your website (e.g. http://example.com/blog/), create the blog directory on your server and upload the contents of the unzipped WordPress package to the directory via FTP.
Note: If your FTP client has an option to convert file names to lower case, make sure it's disabled.
5. Run the WordPress installation script by accessing the URL in a web browser. This should be the URL where you uploaded the WordPress files.
If you installed WordPress in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/
If you installed WordPress in its own subdirectory called blog, for example, you should visit: http://example.com/blog/
That's it! WordPress should now be installed.
Theme Installation WordPress
The first option on how to install this Theme would be to directly upload the wildnest.zip file via WordPress Theme Uploader.

Theme Installation via FTP
The second option on how to install our Theme would be the upload via FTP manager. It really doesn't matter which of the two ways you choose, just choose the one you feel more comfortable with.
Login to your FTP account and navigate to your WordPress Installation directory
Navigate to the folder /wp-content/themes/
Upload the "wildnest" folder (not the .zip-file). This is the folder located inside the "Upload" folder in the zip-file you've downloaded from Themeforest.
Now log into your WordPress backend
Navigate to Appearance > Themes
Find the Theme and click Activate

Installing that is very simple, you just need to click Begin installing plugins and you will be redirected to the plugin installation page where you can install any Plugin you want or you need.
