Videozoom — Getting Started: Installation & Demo Content

This article refers to Videozoom

This guide walks you through installing the Videozoom theme, activating your license, and importing the demo content so your site looks like the theme demo from the start.

  5. Updating the theme

Installing the theme

  1. Download the theme ZIP file from your WPZOOM Members Area.
  2. In your WordPress Dashboard, go to Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme.
  3. Click Upload Theme, select the videozoom.zip file you downloaded, and click Install Now.
  4. Once installed, click Activate.

For more details, see the general guide on installing WPZOOM themes.

Activating your license key

After activating the theme you’ll be prompted to enter your license key, which unlocks one-click demo import, theme updates, and premium features like the video trimming service used by Video Background on Hover.

  1. Find your license key in the Licenses section of your WPZOOM account.
  2. In your Dashboard, go to the WPZOOM menu and open the License Key tab.
  3. Paste the key and click Activate License.

Importing the demo content

Videozoom 5.0 supports the new WPZOOM Demo Importer, so you can set up your site exactly like the theme demo in one click:

  1. Go to the WPZOOM menu in your Dashboard.
  2. Open the Demo Importer tab and choose the Videozoom demo design.
  3. Click Import and wait for the process to finish — it imports sample video posts, the homepage setup, menus, and widgets.

The importer requires an active license key. See the full Demo Content Importer guide for more details and troubleshooting.

Tip: the demo posts are regular WordPress posts with video URLs added in the Post Options metabox — open a few of them in the editor to see how everything is configured, then replace them with your own videos.

Videozoom works with any well-coded plugin, but these pair especially well:

  • Social Icons Widget by WPZOOM — add your social profiles to the Header Social Icons widget area.
  • WPZOOM Forms — a lightweight form builder for your Contact page.
  • WooCommerce — supported out of the box, with an optional cart button in the header (Theme Options → General).

Updating the theme

With an active license, theme updates appear in Dashboard → Updates and under Appearance → Themes, just like for plugins.

Updating from Videozoom 4.x to 5.0? Your current Theme Style is preserved — the new Editorial design is the default only for new installs. After updating, clear the cache in any caching/optimization plugins. If you relied on the Top Menu appearing inside the mobile menu, add those items to your Main Menu or assign a dedicated Mobile Menu.
