Step 2
in Installing a WordPress Template:
Next you will need
to load your FTP client. A FTP client
is used to transfer files from your computer to your website hosting
space. If you do not have a FTP client, some popular choices include:
AceFTP
Freeware
WS_FTP
FileZilla
After your FTP software is
downloaded and installed, you will need to contact your website host
for specific details on how to connect to your website space.
Once you have
connected to your website space, you will need to
FTP to your website, load the directory of your website where WordPress
is
installed, and navigate to the "wp-content/themes"
directory in the right window pane.
In the left window
pane, you will need browse to the location where the
template was downloaded, which again, will have an extracted folder
name similar to:
TS-WORDPRESS-TemplateName
You will then enter a
directory further to:
TS-WORDPRESS-TemplateName\WordPressTemplate\
Once you have entered
into the above directory, it is time to transfer
your WordPress Skin files to your server. This is done by selecting the
folder that is stored within the "WordpressTemplate" directory and
dragging it to the right hand window pane. The folder name that you are
uploading to your "themes" directory will be the same as title of the
template. In the example below the template name is "TS-HeavenlyDating".
After the template has
been uploaded to your "themes" directory of WordPress it will appear on
both the left and right window panes of your
FTP client as shown below: |
