After you install WordPress and are logged in, you will be in the admin area. If you are not sure, just type https://YOUR_WEBSITE_DOMAIN/wp-admin

You may get some issues

If you encounter an issue in installing the theme properly because the installation takes too long. I recommend you pre-install the WooCommerce plugins separately. To pre-install WooCommerce plugin, follow this steps:

Go to Plugins > Add New. Search for Getwid. Install and Activate the plugin.
