FTP<\/strong> Method<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you can not install the theme by following the above method, you can try this method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Download FTP Client to your computer.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To begin this process, you will need to download an FTP Client to your computer. This is a software tool that allows you to access and add or delete files on your website server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Create an FTP account through your hosting provider.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Next, you’ll need to gain access to your hosting provider account through the FTP Client. Usually, you will have to set up your own FTP user account within your hosting dashboard, however, it is a different process for every hosting provider. Typically, the hosting provider gives you a username and password when you make a new account, which you’ll need when creating your FTP Client account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Download your theme and unzip the file.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t already have your theme file downloaded to your computer, download it now. Certain companies provide more in the download folder than you need to upload your theme, so be sure to just download the .zip file. Once you’ve downloaded your files, you’ll need to unzip and compress your file. You can do this by simply right-clicking the .zip file, then selecting Extract<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Upload the theme folder to WordPress to install.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Within the FTP Client, find the root of your WordPress install. Next, go into the wp-content folder, and select Themes<\/em>. Upload the entire folder you unzipped here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should see your new theme as an option under your downloaded themes. Select the new theme and click Activate<\/em> to make the theme live on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
