How can I install a new theme for my wordpress blog?
Hey guys... I have a problem and my problem is that i dont like the themes in wordpress... so i downloaded a few extra ones and i want to install them on my wordpress blog... and i dont know how to install them... i have searched on google about this and i found a few solutions but non of them worked for me. fo example: http://www.templatemonster.com/help/7/90 if you take a look at this website... it says: "Using an FTP client to access your host web server, create a directory to contain your theme in the wp-content/themes directory provided by WordPress. For example, a theme named "th_theme" should be in wp-content/themes/th_theme." I did exactly the same thing... but my questions is that WHERE SHOULD I UPLOAD THEM? I have a free ftp account ... and i uloaded them there.... but how is it possible to upload something in other ftps and then u can select it in ur WORDPRESS settings? lol I NEEEEED HELP :P thanks

- This is how I do it: If your new theme came as a zip file, then unzip it first. Using your FTP software, log into your website. Double click on the 'public_html' folder to open it. Open your 'blog' folder (if you have one) by double clicking. Find a folder called 'wp-content' and double click to open it. Find a folder called 'themes' and double click to open it. Now this is where you upload your new theme to. Just drag your new theme folder across from your desktop or wherever it is into this 'theme' folder. Close your FTP. Now log into your wordpress admin and from the dashboard select 'presentation'. Click on the first option 'themes'. You should see all the available themes there including the one you have uploaded. Click on it to activate. Hope that helps, Regards, Zyfert http://spyware.cybersprout.com
