Dear WA community!

This training is about how to install a new WordPress Theme from the Wordpress.org website! You can download more themes from it and upload them to your WordPress theme library for further use!

I am showing how easy is to that! In less than five minutes!

Basically, there are few simple steps to take.

  1. Go to Wordpress,orgđ
  2. Search for the desired theme! There are many categories available and all kind of great designed themes. Choose the one which fits best to your niche!
  3. Download the chosen theme in a zip file, I recommend to your desktop where is easy to find. After uploading the .zip file of your chosen theme to your WordPress theem library, you may also relocate your downloaded .zip file of your theme to another location on your PC or LapTop!
  4. Go to your WordPress dashboard!
  5. Next, go to Appearance
  6. Further, go to Themes.
  7. Click on Add New button
  8. Afterwards, click choose file button and find your .zip file on your desktop.
  9. Finally, click on Install Now button to install your new theme

If you like the training, please leave a comment below it, and if you have any further questions about WordPress, please don't hesitate to ask me!

I would be more than happy to help you out!

I changed my theme and now it's a big mess. Please help me. It asked for a password to view each page. How can I go back to the original theme I started with?

Suggest you approach site support. If there is a back up than you can restore. Marc.

Go to Appearance => Themes, select the previous theme you had and finally click on Activate.

Hi Igor, I have followed these steps, but have had no luck at all. I have purchased a wordpress file from ThemeForest - is this where i have gone wrong? I did not purchase it directly from Wordpress. It is a Wordpress website theme. Can you offer some advise on this? Thanks

Hi Apple!

Sure, I can! A theme is a "bunch of files" stored in a folder. If you buy somewhere else the theme, and you don't host it on their server, you need to get your ZIP folder of that theme, with all the files of your theme in it. Then, download that folder on your Desktop (best). Afterward, go to your WordPress admin area here at WA and upload that folder to your theme library here at WA.

Done that, you activate the theme you purchased. All will go automatically. Just follow the steps above.

Let me know if this helps!

Best regards!
