Documentation

Everything you need to install Doku, write or import your docs, and make the theme your own.

Get started
Import your Markdown

Start here

Install Doku
Upload the theme, activate Doku Core and, if you like, import the demo.
Write your first doc
Add a doc, give it a category and publish. The navigation builds itself.
Import your Markdown
One file or a .zip of a whole docs folder, GitBook syntax included.
Make it yours
Colors, logo, widths and which page elements appear, in the Customizer.

Up and running in three steps

  1. Install the theme. Under Appearance > Themes > Add New, upload doku.zip and activate it.

  2. Activate Doku Core. Follow the notice at the top of the admin. The plugin ships inside the theme, so it installs in one step.

  3. Add your docs. Import the demo, upload your Markdown, or write one under Documentation > Add New.

💡 TIP

Press Ctrl K (⌘ K on a Mac) on any page to search all of the documentation.
