Updating your WordPress Theme

4 Nov, 2008  WordPress

Getting and choosing a new wordpress theme is very easy.

Search the web for WordPress Themes. You can also checkout the WordPress Theme Directory.

Once you find one you like, follow these directions.  This only works in FireFox.

  1. Right-Click on the Download Button
  2. Choose Copy Link Location
  3. Now log into your WordPress Admin Section
  4. Click Manage
  5. Click Upload Files
  6. Right-Click in the “From URL” box
  7. Choose Paste
  8. Choose the circle next to Theme
  9. Check the box next to “Remove archive after successful extraction”
  10. Click Upload
  11. Now let’s choose this theme.  Click Design.
  12. Choose the new theme you just uploaded under Available Themes.
  13. When the window appears, if you like it, click Activate “Theme Name” in the upper right hand corner.
  14. If you don’t like it, there is an “x” in the upper left hand corner.

I hope this was easy to follow.  Please ask me if you have any questions.
