Open Grandstand manual (PDF)

Follow installation, editorial curation, homepage editions, article details, media, footer controls, campaigns, integrations and paired-update guidance. The manual opens in a new tab and is included in the customer package.

Read the two-page quick-start guide for the shorter first-publication route.

Install or update

Extract the complete package first, then install the inner theme and plugin ZIPs separately. WordPress 6.6+ and PHP 8.0+ are the declared minimums; use supported hosting software. Back up existing sites and update both components as a matching pair. Demo import is optional and is not an update step.

Find your editorial controls

Open Grandstand > Editorial Desk for Homepage, Collections & Recommendations, Publication Text, Footer and Review. Use Homepage Editions for named curation drafts and history; Settings and Tools contain occasional configuration and maintenance tasks.

Your product files

The customer package also includes offline HTML and Markdown documentation, troubleshooting, support templates, a publication checklist, release notes, license/credit records and checksums.

Go to your account downloads to find files available with your purchase.

Support and maintenance

Use ThemeScorpion Support and include the exact steps, versions and a redacted screenshot. An administrator can deliberately download a redacted support snapshot in Grandstand > Tools > Maintenance & Diagnostics. Do not send passwords, tokens, customer databases or site configuration files.
