Guide on How to Install a WordPress Theme

The pre-requisite to installing a wordpress theme is that WordPress has already been setup on the website.The wordpress installation sets up a default theme, and this can be switched away and a theme of our choice can be installed

Following are the about three main steps to arrange a theme of our choice on our site.

There are a few automated approaches to do this, but let us focus on setting up a theme by manually inatallation. The assumption is always that we are installing any "normal" theme, i.elizabeth. no advanced functionality that would require extra plugins or setup.

Step 1: First we need to Download a theme of our choice Unfortunately WordPress can't read minds, so we'll have to pick out the theme we want to use. There are a number of places where we can find WordPress themes.The WordPress website itself has a wide range of themes and we can chose whatever is essential for our need http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ . Let us choose a randomly downloaded theme called Blue Green theme. We need to click the download link, and save the .zip file to our hard drive.

Let us extract the particular /blue-green/ folder only. All we need to do with Readme.txt can be read it (which is why it's called a readme file) and isn't needed for the next step - posting the theme to be able to WordPress.

Step 2: Publish the theme directory to WordPress The first task is really simple, almost all we need to know is where to upload this. Let us use an File transfer protocol client such as FileZilla in order to connect to our hosting accounts. Then navigate to where WordPress can be installed and find the /wp-content/themes/ directory. Upload the /blue-green/ directory this.

The hard part is now out of the way. The next and final step is to activate the theme within our WordPress admin panel.

Step 3: Trigger the theme inside the WordPress admin screen First we need to login to our WordPress management panel, and then see a Presentation tab.

As we have observed the Style installation process isn't very difficult. WordPress makes it simple. We can easily also browse through a lot of themes intended for free download on the live journal website and also look for a variety of good paid out and free themes online.
