Installation
Downloading the Theme Files
To install the theme, you need two files:-
- Ximenia Theme (rt_ximenia_wp.zip) - This file is the standalone theme package you will use to install your theme into WordPress.
- Gantry Plugin (gantry_wordpress_framework.zip) - This file contains the Gantry Framework Plugin and it's required in order to have our themes working.
There are other files that you may wish to download that accompany the release, but are not required for the theme to work.

Please note that the Gantry plugin needs to be installed first and activated (doesn't apply to RocketLauncher).
