Word Press Help Again =(

rachelle123 · 12-02-2008, 09:11 AM

Hey guys,

Just got a new template done. The individual has given me the following files.

Header.php, footer.php, index.php, and all others..

But I do not know how to get this into wordpress?

My current wp is run off revolution magazine theme. When I am in the wp editor I go into design and really don't know what to do are how to add my new design..

Can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Kim

Hi there, if you have had a new theme done you need to upload it to your wp-content/themes folder and then activate the theme from the Design tab in your wp dashboard.

All the best

Hi Kim

You really need to speak to the "individual" to confirm things but . .

If they have edited those files for YOUR revolution magazine theme then you need to upload (via ftp or your cpanel) the three files to your revolution theme folder (as Leanne says) - overwriting the files that are there (make sure you have a copy of the original three - just in case!) .

Once you have done this your edited theme will be visible to everyone and you will also be able to log in to your wp admin and do whatever as normal.

Hope that helps.

Ensure that it is your revolution theme that has been changed by the person concerned!

Hey jo, this is not the revolution theme.. this is a different one. Although this one does run the magazine theme. which i do not want to use..

Thanks, sweet jane.. I will try that and see if it works.

Hi..

If this is a new theme, then you upload the folder containing all the files to the wp-content/themes folder. you will then find the new theme in your dashboard design tab.

If this is an update to your current theme, then you just need to replace the files in your wp-content/themes/theme-name - please make a backup of your existing files before you do this!

It doesn't matter which theme it is - just make sure those files are from the theme you are going to use. Don't mix and match.

Create a folder for the theme on your hard drive add the files to that folder and then upload the folder to your wp-content --> themes folder.

Then go into wordpress admin and access the theme menu and activate the new theme.

If they edited a certain theme for you, instead of creating one from scratch, you will have to upload the edited theme files to the same folder as the previous theme.

Overwriting the old files, then reactivating the edited theme from your dashboard.
