What does the readme say? There must be instructions somewhere telling you which modules are needed.
 
Yes there is, but for someone who never in my life used WordPress before I am completely lost
 
Hi,

At times when you install themeforest themes you'll notice afterwards at the top it will say required modules. Select all and click install. Alternatively just go to comments on themeforest page and request more information from the developer by posting there. They usually respond quite quickly.

Alternatively search for the required modules found in readme in the plugins section and install one by one manually. Don't forget to activate them after install.

That all sounds good, but I'm lost.

It's nogal one of those "advanced" themes with too much stuff that needs adding and I just don't get it at all.

I want some super human to take my login details and just get the theme to look like the advertised one.

After that I will easily navigate and change stuff accordingly.

Too give an idea this is the theme:

The content used on the demo website is demo content. WP Theme developers use demo content to make their themes look amazing. There will be a lot of configuration required to make the website look like that. Most premium themes give the demo content with the theme but that's because you pay a premium for them. You might want to ask the Theme Creator if they an provide you with the demo content.

Else you'd need to configure the Slider, Menus,backgrounds, etc, yourself or get someone who is proficient in Wordpress to do it for you, i.e. get a Web Designer.
 
I have all the demo content everything.

I just don't know how and what widgets to active and where.
 
I would advise paying a developer or wordpress designer to assist you if you are out of your depth. This is not something that can easily be supported in a forum as there are going to be many unique variables to that theme. Many people do exactly this kinda work for a living and I dont imagine you will get much useful support from people who are not going to be paid to help you.

Valid point I guess.
