Hi,

I've tried 3ce to install a couple of premium word press themes I downloaded from templatesold.com after joining yesterday. After several long minutes of autoinstall uploads via my WP dashboard (the files are somewhat heavy at 13 - 24 MB), I get this error message...

"Are you sure you want to do this?

Please try again."

What could be going wrong?

Any help?

Cheers,

Kunle

    When you download a premium theme, you should NOT upload the main zip file because in most case they contain unnecessary files like PSD, etc.

    Unzip that big file and find the actual theme folder (that contain files like header.php, style.css, etc). Upload ONLY that folder with any FTP program to your /wp-content/themes/ folder, or if you want to use WP themes install interface, zip up that folder first.

      Yeah. I actually found that out via google a few minutes after posting my OP and already used that exact solution. Thanks a mil anyways. Very much appreciated.
