# Step 3 - Install Plugins

After installing the Zurix theme, you'll see a notification in the top of the page that says the theme needs some plugins to function properly.

## Required Plugins

Required plugins are very important and must be installed and activated at all times for **Zurix** to work properly. The **Zurix** theme **requires** following plugins

* [Woocommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/): it is a powerful, extendable eCommerce plugin that helps you sell anything.
* [Elementor](https://elementor.com/): The World's Leading WordPress Page Builder.
* **Kitify by Novaworks**: A perfect plugin for Elementor.
* **Zurix Core**: The plugin for Neotek Woocommerce WordPress Theme.
* [Envato Market](https://envato.com/market-plugin/): WordPress Theme & Plugin management for the Envato Market.

## Recommended Plugins

Recommended plugins which are plugins that we use in our demos and are fully integrated with **Zurix**. You can choose not to install these plugins if you’re not going to use them. The **Zurix** theme **recommends** following plugins:

* [Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/): plugin for creating contact forms. It is free and available on WordPress.org
* [Variation Swatches for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/variation-swatches-for-woocommerce/): this plugin provides a much nicer way to display variations of variable products, such as Color swatches, Size lable...
* [WCBoost - Wishlist](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wcboost-wishlist/): *WCBoost - Wishlist* lets shoppers create wishlists for later purchases, reminding them of desired items, driving repeat visits and boost sales.

**Zurix** is working perfectly with these plugins. It automatically adds more styles to them to make the design match the theme.

## Install These Plugins

**Step 1** - From the WordPress admin, navigate to the **Appearance > Install Plugins**. Here you'll find **Zurix's** required and recommended plugins.

**Step 2** - Just click on **Install** below each plugin's name.

**Step 3** - After installing, if it's required to activate the plugin, just activate them.

## Troubleshooting

1. **Failed to install/activate some plugins.**

   Sometimes, the download process failed on some hostings and some files are not downloaded. Therefore, you can't active it. Please navigate to **Plugins > Installed Plugins** and delete those plugins. Then install them again.
