DynamicPress is a two-part system: a Bricks Builder child theme that provides the core build layer, and a companion plugin that adds demo importing and WooCommerce extensions. Everything starts with the child theme.
Requirements #

| PHP | 7.4 minimum, 8.0+ recommended |

Child Theme Installation #
The child theme is your foundation. It must be active before anything else.
- Log in to WordPress Admin.
- Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme.
- Upload dynamicpress-bricks.zip and click Install Now.
- Click Activate.
- A DynamicPress item will appear in your admin sidebar – this is your control panel.
| ⚠️ Important: Bricks Builder must be installed and activated with a valid Bricks license key BEFORE you activate the DynamicPress plugin. The plugin checks for Bricks on every page load and will not initialise if Bricks is missing or unlicensed. |
Plugin Installation & Licensing #
The DynamicPress plugin is installed directly from inside the child theme’s admin panel (no manual upload is required.)
- Open DynamicPress from the admin sidebar.
- If the plugin is not installed, a notice banner will be displayed. Click Install Plugin – it downloads automatically from getdynamicpress.com.
- Once installed, click Activate Plugin.
- You will be redirected to DynamicPress → License Settings. Enter your license key and click Activate.
- The full menu will expand: Import Theme, Utilities, and License Settings will now become available.
| 📝 Note: If the one-click install fails (due to file permission issue on your server), download the plugin manually from getdynamicpress.com and upload it via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. |
