Unable to locate one .zip file that has the whole theme. only some .zip files. Does anyone have experience with this? do I need to get a different file from the one I got fro

Maybe this will help:
https://theme-fusion.com/avada-doc/install-update/ftp-installation/

and this:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/zuuiXBptMHM
I use Avada from Theme-Forest

The file you download from ThemeForest is a zip file. That is what you upload to your website. Do not unzip the file ever.

Safari does an auto unzipping.. tried other things and still not working (please see below)

Can't you turn off that feature? Try a different browser (Chrome) and if that doesn't work then zip them all up again so you can upload a zip file with all the other files and folders inside it.

I tried multiple times with both browsers with no luck. I compressed the file on Safari back to a .zip, and tried again on Chrome where the original download is a .zip. I keep getting the same error message on Wordpress, and it won't accept the upload.

One more option to try, use FTP to upload the theme. You'll need to create a folder with the theme's name inside httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/themes/theme-name (you'll see how the other themes are named in that area) then upload all the loose files and folders (after the unzip).
I haven't actually done this myself but I know the theory.
Here's the instructions for connecting via FTP Then go to Appearance > Themes and it should be there waiting for you to activate.

What do you do with it then? I am not very computer savvy, can u help me on this one?

You should download the theme (zip) to your computer. It will contain all the files you need for the theme. You don't unzip the file.

In your site's admin panel, hover over Appearance in the left sidebar and then click on "Themes". At the top of the page, you should see an "Add New" button. Click on that and then click on "Upload Theme". Click the "Browse" button and locate the zip file you downloaded to your computer. Now click on the "Install Now" button.

You should now see "Unpacking the package… Installing the theme… Theme installed successfully." Clicking "Live Preview" will show you what your site will look like with that theme. Click "Activate" to use it for your site.

thanks Tonia for your response, but the problem is not with downloading the theme to my computer or uploading the theme itself to wordpress. the problem is that the download does not contain a .zip file for the theme i'm trying to upload. the image i'm including shows the contents of my downloaded theme folder. I use a mac so anyone that uses a mac would be especially helpful.

Just to be sure I understand...

The theme's folder that you downloaded after purchase contains the above items shown in the screenshot, correct?

And the theme's folder... is it a zipped folder or regular folder?

Yes-- screenshot is showing the contains of folder. I found out Safari automatically unzips the download. I recompressed the file and tried to upload-- no dice. I also tried 'download contents as' and redownloaded the file, which does create a .zip file. Wordpress still won't take it as an upload

Interesting. Not sure what the issue is. I agree with Marion. Use ftp to upload.

I would like opinions on what small business accounting software everyone is using and what you like and dislike about it-- I started with Freshbooks, and thinking about switch

Hi - I used to use QuickBooks - but it stopped doing a version supported by my OS - so as a programmer, I wrote my own.

Send invoices, reminders, statements etc etc.

However if you're looking for a commercial one, FreeAgent I believe is pretty comprehensive.

All the best, Mark

have to tried quick books?

I haven't yet, but I think its either that or Xero

I am having trouble with the BackWPup plug in, and haven't been able to get that question answered, but under the Websites and Hosting section it says there was a backup perform

Yes
John

Try asking the question on live chat, they should definitely answer your issue quickly.

Yes I've tried that/ thank you for your suggestion, Floridajf

Yes they back-up your site as a premium member, why a plugin? You can go to tools, export and save your website on your computer or in the cloud

Thanks for your response, Loes. I still don't understand if WA does a backup *automatically*, that is-- under the Websites and Hosting section it says 'last backup Feb. 6th' which was not a backup I did on my own.

I watched Kyle's training on backing up within WP (Tools --> Export), and did it that way/ I suppose I'll do this on a monthly basis

You better do this on a daily base, at least everytime you have changed something on your site, and allthough WA has a back-up service, every 2-3 days, your really do not want to lose 3 days work:) I think it is our own responsibility as site owner to do it too.

I dont understand the Yoast Google Analytics settings within Wordpress as related to the settings on Google Analytics---

Do I still need to paste in the UA code into the 'Yo

See that you solved problem.Good luck...

Thanks Lela :)

Glad you asked the question and got the answer: The W.A. Way!

Yes, I've gotten better answers this way vs. trying in chat/ seems to work a little better
Cheers :)

Hi James! -

How are you?

I use 'All in One SEO pack' - as Kyle showed us!

Cool/ thank you David--
I pasted the UA code into 'Yoast Google Analytics: Settings' and I think everything is good :)
I'm glad I did not f this part up as Kyle described in:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/manually-adding-google-analytics-to-your-website

--went through both of these to the T

Sorry James, I don't use Yoast...I know that I was directed to add the code into the page under heading according to Google...that was without having Yoast, but I didn't need to, I just had to enter the tracking ID in the SEO settings. Hope you figure it out.

Cheers Kim, thank you, and I very much appreciate your timely response---
I don't use Yoast either, but as to the examples defined by Jay, may consider it-- looks like a good option.
I have pasted the UA code into the SEO settings already

Hi i have yoast but i never put any code in and it seems to work fine. And going 'Appearance -->Editor--> ' gives me the theme stylesheet on my site.

Thanks for replying Kays, but I'm looking into why I need to add the UA tracking code in two different spots==
