    Hello,

    The theme will not load to server.

    Have tried zipped, unzipped, (assume it should be unzipped but entire folder)
    – nothing works.

  • Have you tried uploading it through WordPress. It will need to be a compressed file.

    Hello,

    My site is joelgoodmn.us

    I used the FTP because that was recommended. (I do FTP’s all day long for my sites – filezilla)

    I clicked the download button on wordpress and it landed o my personal machine in two seconds.

    When you suggest “through” wordpress and compressing the file – exactly what procedures are you referring to?

    Sorry for the confusion.

    I am wondering – my wordpress came with the 2010 theme already installed.

    I was hesitant to remove it until I had another theme present.

    Do I need to remove the existing theme prior to the upload?

    Also, my current theme is installed in the root directory directly to “wp-contents/themes”. It does not have an intervening folder called “public_html”

    “….if WordPress is installed in your web-root folder you would navigate to “public_html/wp-content/themes”.

    Respectfully,

    Dorian

    Hello,

    Here is a follow up using the FTP through my wordpress site.

    This is the error message I get when I tried to do it through wordpress.

    “GreenPoint Milanda 1.4

    Downloading install package from https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/download/greenpoint-milanda.1.4.zip…

    Unpacking the package…

    Could not create directory. /joelgoodman.us/wp-content/upgrade”

    Hope this clarifies the problem.
