You purchased a premium theme from ThemeForest
You want full design control
You prefer importing a pre-built demo from a third-party theme

Purchased and downloaded a WordPress theme from ThemeForest
Have access to the theme ZIP file (do not unzip it)
If you haven't downloaded your theme yet, see:
ThemeForest is part of the Envato marketplace, where users can buy premium WordPress themes.
