About Academia – Education Center WordPress Theme 3.1
Academia is a ThemeForest WordPress theme for education centres, universities, academies, online courses and events. Its course system is described as WooCommerce-ready, with paid and free courses, PayPal purchasing, course ratings, and grid, list and schedule layouts. The listing also says it can serve other kinds of business sites.
The file on record is version 3.1, released in February 2018. Bundled plugins include Visual Composer and Revolution Slider, and the options panel runs on Redux. A theme this old should be tested with your current WordPress, PHP and WooCommerce on a staging site first, and bundled plugins may need updating or replacing.
Requirements
- WooCommerce, if you sell courses
- Visual Composer and Revolution Slider, bundled with the theme
Key features
- Courses system
- Course listings with ratings, in grid, list and schedule layouts, ready for WooCommerce.
- Header and footer options
- Three header options and three footer options, with per-page header settings through a mega header setup.
- Bundled page builder and slider
- Visual Composer and Revolution Slider are included with the theme.
- Demo content
- Three home page demos with one-click demo data import.
- Admin options and extras
- Redux options panel, unlimited sidebars and colours, a mega menu, Mailchimp subscription, WPML readiness and a child theme.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Training centres, academies and course providers who want a ready education layout
- Small universities or event organisers happy to build with Visual Composer
Look elsewhere if
- Sites that want Elementor or the block editor; the page builder here is Visual Composer
- Full learning management with quizzes and progress tracking, which the listing doesn't mention
How to install Academia – Education Center WordPress Theme 3.1
- 1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.

Install the recommended plugins
Most premium themes show a notice listing their required plugins. Install those before importing any demo content.
Notes for this product
- Activate the theme first, then install the bundled plugins from its notice before importing demo data. Use the included child theme if you plan to edit templates.
Getting started: using Academia – Education Center WordPress Theme 3.1
- Activate and install bundled plugins. Accept the plugin prompts for Visual Composer, Revolution Slider and the other required plugins.
- Import demo data. Run the one-click demo import to see the intended layout, then replace the sample content.
- Set header, footer and colours. Choose a header and footer option in the theme options panel.
- Add courses. Create course entries, set prices if you sell them through WooCommerce, and review the course pages.
- Test checkout. If you sell courses, place a test order, including the PayPal step, before launch.
Common problems and fixes
Visual Composer or Revolution Slider shows an update or compatibility notice
- Why it happens
- The bundled copies date from 2018 and may not match your current WordPress version.
- How to fix it
- Test on staging first. Update the plugins from their own source if an update is available, or rebuild the affected pages.
“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”
- Why it happens
- The full download package was uploaded instead of the theme zip inside it.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the package and upload the zip that contains style.css at its top level.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/themes with your host's file manager or SFTP.
Demo import stops part-way or times out
- Why it happens
- The server hits its execution-time or memory limit during the import.
- How to fix it
- Raise max_execution_time and memory_limit with your host, then re-run the importer; importing content, widgets and settings separately also helps.
Pages look broken right after activating
- Why it happens
- The theme's required plugins (page builder, theme core plugin) aren't installed yet.
- How to fix it
- Install and activate everything in the theme's required-plugins notice, then reload.
