Updated August 3, 20261 min read

Download the Free package from your Artist DRVVYN Engine account before beginning. Use a staging site when you are replacing an established theme so you can review templates and navigation before visitors see the change.

Install the theme

  1. Open Appearance → Themes in WordPress.
  2. Select Add New, then Upload Theme.
  3. Choose the Artist DRVVYN Engine theme ZIP and install it.
  4. Activate the theme when the upload completes.

Install the required core plugin

The theme will prompt you for the Artist DRVVYN Engine core plugin. Install and activate it from the guided setup. The core plugin owns Artist OS, catalog records, forms, and connections so your data is not trapped inside a visual theme.

Before going live

Check the homepage, Music, Videos, Articles, Profile, contact form, privacy controls, and mobile navigation. Clear any host-level cache after changing themes.
