About HappyThemes Starter Pro 1.7
Starter Pro is a product from HappyThemes. The store lists it with a plugin type, but its categories are premium theme, blog, multi-purpose and news magazine, so treat it as a WordPress theme and install it from the Appearance screen. The listing gives no feature list or demo details.
The file on record is version 1.7 from October 2019. Test it with your current WordPress and PHP versions on a staging site first, and read the documentation in the package for what it includes.
Key features
- Multi-purpose category
- Filed under multi-purpose and blog categories, so it is not tied to one niche.
- Blog and news layouts
- Also filed under news and magazine themes.
- Part of a HappyThemes range
- HappyThemes sells several Pro themes, so you can compare designs from one developer.
- Details not listed
- The listing doesn't state layouts, widgets or demos; the package documentation is the reference.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Small sites that want a simple blog or business theme as a starting point
- Developers maintaining a site that already uses a HappyThemes Pro theme
Look elsewhere if
- Buyers who need a documented feature list first
- Sites that need a built-in shop, booking or membership feature
How to install HappyThemes Starter Pro 1.7
- 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.
- 2
Find the installable theme zip
Theme packages often bundle the theme, a child theme, plugins and docs. The installable theme is the zip that has style.css at its top level.
- 3
Upload it to WordPress
Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme → Upload Theme, choose the theme zip, then Install Now and Activate.
- 4
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
- Some themes of this kind are child themes that need a parent framework installed first. The listing doesn't say, so check the package documentation before activating.
Getting started: using HappyThemes Starter Pro 1.7
- Check the documentation for a parent theme. Install any parent theme or required plugin it names.
- Activate the theme on a staging site. The file is from 2019, so try it on a copy first.
- Set menus, logo and widgets. Assign menus and fill the widget areas the theme provides.
- Publish test content. Create a page and a few posts, and check them on a phone.
Common problems and fixes
“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.
Frequently asked questions
Is it a plugin or a theme?

Will it work with current WordPress?
