Installing a theme via FTP

If uploading the theme from the dashboard fails (for example, because of the upload size limit), install it via FTP.

1. Download the theme from your Gumroad Library (or ThemeForest → Downloads) and unzip the installable theme archive.
2. Connect to your server with an FTP client such as FileZilla. Your host provides the FTP host, username and password.
3. Go to wp-content/themes/ and upload the unzipped theme folder.
4. In the WordPress dashboard go to Appearance → Themes and activate the theme.

Updating an existing theme the same way? Replace the old theme folder completely — see How to update a theme.
