    I have a theme forest theme (Tomas and Daisy) that recently came out with an update. I have downloaded the theme and “unzipped” it, gone to my WPmenu/ appearance/ theme/upload/choose file/ and installed now..but every time it says this..

    Unpacking the package…
    Installing the theme…
    Destination folder already exists. /home2/okaybutf/public_html/wp-content/themes/tomasdaisy/
    Theme install failed.

    How can I update my current theme?

  • you need to delete the theme through cpanel first.

    1. switch to some other theme in wordpress
    2. login into your webhosting cpanel
    3. Find yourdomain.com/wp-admin/themes folder
    (home2/okaybutf/public_html/wp-content/themes/tomasdaisy/)
    Delete only the tomasdaisy folder and not wordpress “themes folder” which contains many other wordpress themes files
    4. delete it
    5. reinstall latest updated theme either by uploading to themes folder or from wordpress themes panel
