I go into my cpanel and into the file manager (with Bluehost). How do I transfer a folder into my wp-content folder?

I see the Themeforest zip file in my directory, I’ve tried unpacking it.

I’ve also tried to upload the Zip file in my wordpress “add a theme” section under appearance … It loads to 100% but the I get a failure notice.

Anyone? Need a bit of help with this.

Nope… I don’t even know where to go for step 1?

arggg..

When I go into dashboard – Appearance – Editor
I can’t see the child theme in the upper right drop down box.

how do I add this – in order to get the child theme active. Appreciate you helping with these basic question… Karma will come back some how..

/*
Theme Name: Blaskan Child
Theme URI: https://blaskan.net
Description: Child theme for the Blaskan theme
Author: Per Sandstr??m
Author URI: https://www.helloper.com/
Template: blaskan
Version: 1.0

Me thinks I’m going to have to sit down with someone…

If you’re using a theme, you’ll want to avoid editing the theme’s files.

Modifications can still be made, but made through a Child Theme. Basically you copy the file you want and paste it into your Child Theme directory and then you can modify it.
I downloaded the child theme Zip from the Blaskan creator but don’t know how to activate it.

I can’t find any instructions for it after you install it, perhaps it magically works automatically. Are your tab titles now hidden?

Nope.. the titles are still there.

I want to be able to remove and change specific aspects of my site layout. I did download that plugin and have activated it but can’t find out how to use it? Where does it show up in the wpress dashboard?

haha.. thanks andrew… I am on the plugin page… trying to figure out if this works.

Where do I go to access the Html etc? I got into the Bluehost cpanel and once I started getting into FTP sites, cyberducks, etc I started getting lost…

Can anyone help me out with this stuff?

How do I access the HTML of my site? Where do I go to make changes? Is that with my “host – Bluehost” or do I do that through my wordpress dashboard?

If someone can help out that would be great. I know its a simple change that I want to do but I can’t even find where to start.
Thanks.

Thanks Esmi,

I am almost at that stage where I do want to “farm” it out but I also value the process of digging my teeth in and learning something new. If I ever have to fix something at least I will know the basics.

So I need to dig into my Bluehost page then.

Thanks for the links as well. More digging and investigating I guess.

Are you familiar with the Blaskan theme by any chance? My website is https://www.the365effect.com

Ok.. thanks esmi BUT…
I have no clue how to do that. I have ZERO experience in CODE etc. I don’t even know where to look for that or where to go to add it?

Sorry.. newbie here.

Ok.. So I have re-installed Word Press 3.5.1 and that didn’t fix it.

I have deactivated all my plug ins and tried to make the link button work from inside a new post and that didn’t work.

I tried a different theme (twenty-twelve) and that didn’t work.

Can anyone offer another any other suggestions? It is a bit frustrating.

Thanks.

Hi Ron,

Thanks,

I checked the global setting and those are confirmed with what you suggested. I then started digging into the individual posts and no where can I find the “Allow Comments” box? I don’t see this anywhere in my options to “Check”. I go into my dashboard…I click posts…. I click on the post I want to edit with Edit Post… and then nowhere do I see this “Allow Comments” box to be checked/unchecked?

Am I looking in the correct place?
