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.zip file from your ThemeBoy account

Steps

  1. Confirm SportsPress is active.

  2. Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.

  3. Upload sportspress-for-cricket.zip.

  4. 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

  1. Go to SportsPress → Configure and confirm cricket-specific result types and performance metrics are loaded (runs, wickets, overs, extras).

  2. Edit an event — confirm the post-type label reads "Match" rather than "Event".

  3. Go to SportsPress → Settings → Events (or the event-logos section) and confirm three new options: Show score status, Results delimiter, Reverse results format.
