Automatic Plugin Installation
Delightful Pro comes pre-packaged with the recommended plugins listed above (outside of the ecommerce plugins). If you already have a Genesis theme installed on your site, this part might not apply to you, but if you don't have any of the required plugins installed, you'll see them at the top of your screen like this.
To begin activating these plugins, click on the BEGIN INSTALLING PLUGINS option.
You will then be redirected to a page with each plugin listed. If you already have these plugins installed, they will show as active.
Check the box for each plugin you wish to install and then select INSTALL from the dropdown box.
Once you do that, you’ll be directed to the successful install back. At the bottom, click on the RETURN TO PLUGINS option. Once there, you’ll need to again select each of the plugins that you just installed to activate them.
Click ACTIVATE and then follow the setup instructions throughout the rest of the tutorials to configure them like the demo.
