Total novice! What do I do after I download Atahualpa?
I downloaded it from Wordpress, and now there is a nice zip folder on my desktop. I have no idea how to apply it to my site. I am completely new to this. What do I do next?
Thanks for any help! |
This is actually wordpress help, because it works the same on all themes:
1. Unpack the zip in its own folder (ex: desktop\Atahualpa\) 2. I assume you have a web hosting account where you already installed wordpress (if you didn't install wordpress, see this site: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress ) - open your ftp client and connect to the web hosting - Browse for wp themes folder: site-root/wp-content/themes/ - upload the theme folder from desktop into themes folder of your wordpress installation 3. Login into your Wordpress installation with the admin account and activate theme - to do that, access yoursite.com/wp-admin/ - look in the left sidebar for Appearance/Themes - In the theme list, you should see Atahualpa now: click on it, then in the right-up corner of the preview click the "activate theme" link. That's it ;) Also, check WP Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes for detailed info. |
That was a huge help. THANK YOU!!!!

And for what you do NEXT...
I'd strongly suggest you got to Amazon.com and search under books for "Wordpress" - there's some great stuff out there. (A good book on CSS is handy as well... "CSS The Missing Manual" is a great one.) |
I tried uploading the Atahualpa files several times but the theme does not appear on the WP admin page. I read the directions provided by Ciolo and I see that I could not browse for the themes directoy; I had to create it. I have tried to create it in 2 locations.
