Slightly dumb question regarding file placement

  • I’m uploading a new theme, and it requires me to move the contents of a “files to upload” folder over.

    Do I move the actual folder or open it and move whats inside? I was thinking it was like a normal file where you open it THEN move the folder inside, but this one has a “wp-content” file (which contains themes and plugins), but also below it like 10 other files (all PHP).

    Little lost here.

  • To upload a new theme, you normally just need to upload the folder with the same name as the theme to wp-content/themes.

    Yeah I know. That’s why this is confusing me a bit. I noticed 2 of the files are plugins there, so they would technically be located in the same location as the wp-config file.

    That’s the location the instructions say.

    so they would technically be located in the same location as the wp-config file.

    No. Plugins live in wp-content/plugins whilst wp-config.php lives in the root folder of your install.
