Installing SportsPress for Cricket
Install SportsPress for Cricket in your WordPress site to apply cricket-specific terminology, the extras row in scorecards, and DNB handling for substitutes. Confirm the following before activating.
Requirements
SportsPress 2.3 or newer (free or Pro)
The
sportspress-for-cricket.zipfile from your ThemeBoy account
Steps
Confirm SportsPress is active.
Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
Upload
sportspress-for-cricket.zip.Click Install Now, then Activate.
The plugin uses TGM Plugin Activation to verify the SportsPress dependency. If SportsPress is missing or below 2.3, you'll see an admin notice prompting installation.
Verification
Go to SportsPress → Configure and confirm cricket-specific result types and performance metrics are loaded (runs, wickets, overs, extras).
Edit an event — confirm the post-type label reads "Match" rather than "Event".
Go to SportsPress → Settings → Events (or the event-logos section) and confirm three new options: Show score status, Results delimiter, Reverse results format.
