Before installing your new theme you will need a self-hosted WordPress.org website and a host provider such as ScalaHosting to host your WordPress website. Kadence Pro is recommended for the pro features of your theme, but are not required. Plugins are also a necessity, every theme in the demo and in Glamsy Docs has a recommended section specifically for what plugins to install, install the ones you need to get started. Free plugins can sometimes be limiting, so as your website progresses you may find you might want to purchase a pro version.
If you don’t plan to use the pro pages and blocks then stick with Kadence free version. Although the Kadence Pro version is optional, it offers great value with extra design options, additional blocks, and time-saving features at a relatively low cost.
