Install the style and its companion
Where: Admin → Themes, then Add-ons
Steps
- Extract the complete download on your computer so the theme XML and native companion ZIP are separate.
- Export the currently edited style and back up the database/files before replacing it.
- For a fresh style import the matching PurpleZ XML through Themes; activate/allow it as intended.
- Upload only the matching editor addon ZIP through Add-ons; its addon.json must be at the archive root.
- Enable the editor. This companion is free and declares no commercial licence gate.
- Open PurpleZ Settings, review the installed style and save.
Check the result
The theme supplies the appearance; the companion supplies its dedicated editor. Neither the complete outer download nor XML alone is a native addon ZIP.
If it does not work
If the editor says import the style first, confirm the expected style key exists. Check exact starter/core compatibility rather than bypassing a rejected version check.
