Once there, select Add New from the top menu of the themes tab.

When asked, select the zip file that you previously downloaded. Choose the download, then choose Install Now.


Once your theme has been installed, a success message and a link to activate and sample the theme will appear.


Your WordPress theme has now been installed and enabled after clicking the activate button. Depending on the theme, it might introduce extra configuration options that you might need to set up using either the theme customizer or a different options panel.

Connect to your server using FTP after installing and configuring your FTP programme. You must navigate to the (/wp-content/themes/) route. Simply transfer your themme's folder there once you arrive.
