If you&#8217;re using the free Kadence theme, you can search for it under <strong>Appearance &gt; Themes<\/strong>, as you would with <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.theeventscalendar.com\/knowledgebase\/k\/install-a-wordpress-theme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">any other theme<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1953333\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-22-at-8.37.42-AM.png\" alt=\"Kadence theme\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-add-kadence-starter-templates\">Add Kadence starter templates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you install the Kadence theme, you&#8217;ll be prompted to install the Kadence starter templates, so go ahead and click that button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1953337\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-22-at-12.03.48-PM.png\" alt=\"Install Kadence starter templates\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you&#8217;ll be able to see all the Kadence starter template options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1953338\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-22-at-12.11.12-PM.png\" alt=\"Kadence starter template options\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose the template that best describes your events website. You can host events on a museum website, conference website, kids camp website, and more! There is also a starter template called Events, which is a great way to showcase your website with The Events Calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-customize-your-starter-template\">Customize your starter template<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you can select your color scheme and font styles. Don&#8217;t worry, you can always change these later if you&#8217;d like. You&#8217;ll also see any other required plugins for your chosen starter templates. These will be installed automatically when your starter template is imported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, you can choose whether to import your starter template as a single page or as a full site. We recommend the full site option if you&#8217;d like to have the styles applied to your entire events website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1953341\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-22-at-1.04.24-PM.png\" alt=\"Kadence starter template for events\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose the import option that you&#8217;d like and follow the prompts to begin importing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1953342\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-22-at-1.13.15-PM.png\" alt=\"Import starter template\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you&#8217;re ready to view your site!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1953343\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-22-at-1.15.28-PM.png\" alt=\"View your site created with Kadence starter templates\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-next\">What&#8217;s next<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that your event website is all ready to go with Kadence starter templates, you can customize the display with other Kadence tools, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kadencewp.com\/kadence-blocks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kadence Blocks<\/a>.
