There are two ways to install a WordPress Theme:

• Quickstart Installation: Suitable if you have your first installation and want to get a whole new fresh site as our Demo.

When you are ready to install a theme, you must first upload the theme files and then activate the theme itself. The theme files can be uploaded in two ways:

• • • FTP Upload
    • WordPress Upload

Note: If the theme files’ size is larger than 8M, please upload via FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

To add the new Theme to your WordPress installation, follow these basic steps:

• • • Download the Theme archive and extract the file named themename_version.zip, for example here: sw_paco_theme_v1.0.0.zip. You may need to preserve the directory structure in the archive when extracting these files.
    • Load your FTP client, such as FileZilla.
    • Use your FTP program to access your host web server, create a directory to save your Theme in the wp-content/themes directory provided by WordPress.For example, the theme named SW Paco Version 1.0.0 should be in wp-content/themes/sw_paco_theme_v1.0.0. The theme may provide this directory as part of the archive.
    • Upload the Theme files to the new directory on your host server

To select the Theme for your site:

• • • Log in to the WordPress Administration Panels
    • Select the Appearance panel, then Themes to find the new theme uploaded.
    • From the Themes panel, roll over the Theme thumbnail image for the Theme you are interested in to see options for that theme.
    • You can view more information about any theme by clicking Theme Details.
    • A live preview of any Theme (using your blog’s content) can be seen by clicking Live Preview.
    • To activate the Theme click the Activate button.

Your selection will immediately become active.

Note: If the Theme preview is blank, do not activate the new Theme without investigating further. Your site may not be displayed correctly, otherwise.
