About Zephyr Material Design Theme 8.4.0

Zephyr is a WordPress theme built on Google's Material Design look, with parallax backgrounds, retina-ready graphics and a responsive layout. It is filed under creative, corporate, blog, multipurpose and agency. The old description lists a built-in Visual Composer page builder and bundled Slider Revolution with two pre-built slider import files.

The file on record is version 8.4.0, released in December 2021, and the package is about 27 megabytes. Check the version in the package. Test with your current WordPress and PHP on a staging site before using it live.

Key features

Material Design look: Built on the Material Design style, with motion effects and parallax backgrounds.
Bundled page builder and slider: Lists Visual Composer and Slider Revolution as included.
Portfolio and blog options: Portfolio grids with category filters, plus three blog layout types.
Content elements: Includes accordions, tabs, counters, galleries, testimonials, team members, maps and more.
Translation and child theme: Listed as WPML-optimised, with a basic child theme included.
Contact Form 7 and icons: Works with Contact Form 7 and includes 1273 icons.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

Corporate, agency and portfolio sites that like the Material Design style
Developers who want a theme with a page builder and slider already bundled

Look elsewhere if

Stores that need a WooCommerce-focused theme, since the listing doesn't mention it
Sites that want a plain, lightweight theme without a page builder

How to install Zephyr Material Design Theme 8.4.0

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

Visual Composer and Slider Revolution are listed as bundled. Install them from the theme's plugin notice instead of adding separate copies.

Getting started: using Zephyr Material Design Theme 8.4.0

Install and activate the theme. Upload it in Appearance, Themes and activate it on a staging copy.
Install the bundled plugins. Accept the notice that offers Visual Composer and Slider Revolution.
Import demo content if included. Use the quick install and demo import described in the old description.
Set theme options. Choose colours, typography and blog or portfolio layouts, then edit pages.

Common problems and fixes

Page content shows raw shortcodes

Why it happens: The bundled Visual Composer plugin isn't active, so its shortcodes aren't processed.
How to fix it: Activate the bundled Visual Composer from the required-plugins notice.

The imported sliders are missing

Why it happens: Slider Revolution isn't active or its import files were not run.
How to fix it: Activate the bundled Slider Revolution and import the included slider files.

“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.
