Installation
Before you start your installation make sure you have all the files you need, which you should find in your https://my.wpextend.com/ account.
Once purchased, you can browse into Services and then click the OverStrap:Masonry service and then in the sidebar a link for 'Downloads' will lead you to a page with the main ZIP file that contains everything you need.
Inside your downloaded ZIP file for the Masonry theme you will find another ZIP file and an XML file for the dummy content.
Start by installing the OverStrap: Masonry theme (theme ZIP file will be called something like: 'understrap-masonry-1-1') in the normal way and activating it, see this official guide: https://support.wordpress.com/themes/uploading-setting-up-custom-themes/
Lastly, all of our OverStrap themes use the Kirki framework to extend the Customizer system to make editing the theme easier. Go to your WordPress websites Plugins section and click Add New then search for 'Kirki' and then install and activate the result: Kirki Customizer Framework
