ok i have managed to upload the theme, apparently its just not compatible with wordpress 3.0.5, maybe you can help me on my next topic how: to downgrade to an older version of wordpress!

thanks for all the help!

because the theme i want isnt in there, its this one: https://themeforest.net/item/cleanr-theme-wordpress-version/102093
and no i still cant upload the file manually

on the server, you have to compress it to a zip version on the server to download it. i still have my copy

i deleted the cleanr folder and the zip version do i have to delete the whole themes folder?

ok uploading the zip file didnt work i got the same error, could i do it via cpanel?

i figured out the problem, had to compress the file before i could download it! ok so now i can change my theme and the settings will be safe?

ok so i have found the file tried to copy and down load it, neither work

AHH wow i look stupid! haha ok so im in cpanel now, how would i navigate to wp-content?

in cpanel:
# Browse wp_commentmeta
# Browse wp_comments
# Browse wp_contact_form_7
# Browse wp_links
# Browse wp_newscategories
# Browse wp_newsletter
# Browse wp_newsletter_profiles
# Browse wp_newsstats
# Browse wp_newstatsclick
# Browse wp_newstatserasers
# Browse wp_newsusers
# Browse wp_options
# Browse wp_postmeta
# Browse wp_posts
# Browse wp_savednewsletters
# Browse wp_terms
# Browse wp_term_relationships
# Browse wp_term_taxonomy
# Browse wp_usermeta
# Browse wp_users

no wp-content

haha i would but i dont know how, oh well.
i have backed up my database, but i dont know how to do the theme, im sorry to keep asking you for more help but i really am stuck!

would FTP available in cpanel?

if i deactivate my theme will it delete all the modifications the previous person made? yes im very new to this!

to Chip Bennett: how do i delete it if its my current theme, there is no delete option?

to isimpledesign and keesiemeijer: no i am not but im just reading though the link sent by keesiemeijer

yes the theme is in zip format but when i try to upload it i get this error:
The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/vpsthesh/public_html/fireguardservices/wp-content/uploads/2011/02.

i have copy and pasted as i wasnt sure what you wanted, removing the non used options

sorry, my question is how do i install a new theme? i have the new version but i cant seem to upload it, and the intructions that come with it are useless to me as i dont understand half of it!

as you can see from the site the main page works but all the others which should contain content now just have a slide 2 page, i have already checked out content is still saved in wordpress it just wont display properly.
