Who is this theme for? The Default theme is ideal for freelancers, agencies, small businesses, and anyone who wants a clean, trustworthy online presence. Its neutral design adapts to any industry through simple color and font changes.

Getting Started

Activate the Default theme and start building your site in minutes.

  1. Log in to your Admin Panel

    Navigate to your site's admin area (typically /admin) and sign in with your administrator credentials.

  2. Go to Appearance → Themes

    In the admin sidebar, click Appearance then Themes. You will see a list of all installed themes.

  3. Activate “Default”

    Find the Default theme card and click the Activate button. The theme will immediately become your site's active front-end theme.

  4. Customize to your liking

    Head to Appearance → Theme Settings to change colors, fonts, header and footer options, and more. Changes apply instantly.

  5. Add content

    Create pages using the Pages section in the admin panel. Use the sectioned page template to mix and match from 42 different content sections.

Purchase Code (License Key)

The Default theme is free and ships with the application, so activating it never asks for a purchase code of its own. The purchase code you need is the one of the product you actually bought: the main application, or a paid add-on or theme. This block explains where to find that code.

Our products are sold on three platforms, and the way you receive a purchase code depends on where you bought the product.

Platform / Marketplace How you get the purchase code Where to find it again
bedigit.com Store
In-site purchase (Shop)
Generated automatically when the order is paid, then sent by email, either in its own license email, or inside the order confirmation email. My Account → My Licenses on bedigit.com
Gumroad Created as soon as Gumroad notifies us of the sale, then sent in a separate email, in addition to the Gumroad receipt. The license email, your Gumroad Library, and My Account → My Licenses on bedigit.com
Envato Market
CodeCanyon
Issued by Envato, not by us, and never sent by email: you download it yourself from your Envato account. Envato account → Downloads → License certificate & purchase code

Check your spam folder. For bedigit.com Store and Gumroad purchases the purchase code is delivered by email, and automated license emails are very often filtered. If the message is not in your inbox, look in your spam / junk folder before contacting support, and add our sender address to your contacts or allow list.

1. bedigit.com Store (in-site purchase)

As soon as your order is marked Paid, a license key is generated automatically for every licensed item in the order (one key per purchased unit) and emailed to the address used on the order, either in a dedicated license email or inside the order confirmation email. The key also stays available under My Account → My Licenses, where you can reveal it, copy it, see the domains it is activated on, and deactivate a domain to free an activation slot. The matching invoice is under My Account → My Orders.

2. Gumroad

A Gumroad purchase produces two separate emails: the Gumroad receipt (sent by Gumroad, giving access to the files) and a license key email (sent by bedigit.com) that contains your purchase code. The second one is generated as soon as Gumroad notifies us of the sale, so it normally arrives within seconds of the payment. When the product uses Gumroad’s own license-key feature, the same key is also shown in the Gumroad receipt and under Library → your purchase on gumroad.com. Use the same email address on bedigit.com as on Gumroad and your keys are linked to your account automatically, under My Account → My Licenses; you can also add a Gumroad key manually from My Account → My Gumroad Licenses.

3. Envato Market (CodeCanyon)

Envato issues and delivers the purchase code itself: we never email it, so there is nothing to look for in your spam folder. Log in to your Envato / CodeCanyon account, open Downloads, find the item, and choose License certificate & purchase code from the Download dropdown; the code is written in that certificate. It looks like 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890abcdef and never changes, even when you renew item support. See the official article: Where Is My Purchase Code?

Lost your purchase code? Search your mailbox (spam folder included) for “license” or “purchase code”, then check My Account → My Licenses on bedigit.com for Store and Gumroad purchases, or Downloads → License certificate on Envato. If it is still missing, open a ticket on our Help Center with your order number (Store), Gumroad sale ID or buyer email (Gumroad), or Envato username and item name (Envato).
