How to add a new theme to your WordPress Installation?
Today I changed WordPress Default Theme for Agregado Lifestream Theme by Darren Hoyt and Matt Dawson. After researching several weeks I could not find a better theme than this one to be the Uber Designer’s home. In fact I fell in love with this theme since the first time I saw it. Thank you guys for your generosity!
How to add a new theme to your WordPress installation?
- Download the theme archive to your local machine and extract the files it contains. Preserve the directory structure in the archive when extracting these files. Follow the guidelines provided by your theme author.
- Using an FTP client to access your host web server, create a directory to contain your theme in the wp-content/themes directory provided by WordPress. For example, a theme named Test should be in wp-content/themes/test. Your theme may provide this directory as part of the archive.
- Upload the theme files to the new directory on your host server.
- Follow the instructions below for selecting the new theme.
Selecting the Active Theme
To select the active theme for your site:
- Log in to the WordPress Administration Panels.
- Select the Appearance.
- From the Available Themes section, click on theme title (or theme screenshot) for the theme you wish to activate.
- A preview of the theme will be shown to activate theme click the Activate “Theme Name” link in the top right.
Your selection should immediately become active.
