WordPress - How To Install Themes Without Using FTP!

[TheCurrentRobloxNews]

"add new themes" isn't there.

[uslambo182]

I don't have an 'install theme' tab or 'add new themes'. I just signed up for WP so it's the newest version and it's already making me hate it after 3hrs of trying to figure out how to install those damn themes. Any suggestions?

Hi all, please note that the Add new theme link has moved in more recent versions of Wordpress. To complete the steps in the video in Wordpress 3 onwards, go to Appearance > Themes and then select the Install Themes tab at the top of the page. In the resulting screen, you'll then see the small Upload link - click that and voila! Hope that helps :)........... PS - you'll need to make a new zip folder first - containing only the theme, no psd / documentation they generally include in download

@francomussocom I can't find the Install Themes tab. :(

I dont have the "add new themes" button! how do i get that?

[sadistiquemind]

Wordpress doesn't have the "Add New Themes" option anymore. So how can I make my own theme or upload a new theme?

@immyguy100 - are you using WordPress 2.8 or newer? If you are using WordPress 2.8 or later it will automatically show up.

[immyguy100]

@expand2web im using the newer just made it this monday!

so wht am i to do?

[expand2web]

@immyguy100 - I don't understand your question. Can you explain it to me in a little more detail?

[expand2web]

@Rebecker89, kim4y2k - no you don't have to pay anything, but that functionality only shows up if you are using WordPress 2.8 or later.

Hi expand2web,

thx 4 the nice tutorial..i don't see any Add New Themes on my part.

please help!

[Rebecker89]

I liked the video, but I - like the others - don't get that when I expand the menu. Does that functionality show up after you pay for addtional functionality from Wordpress? Thanks for any info.

Very good! Thanks!

[expand2web]

You're welcome dafarce - thanks for your comment!

[MettePeleikis]

is this wordpress 2.8.6 ? or is it just called 2.8 ?

[expand2web]

This feature is available starting with WordPress 2.8. 2.8.6 is a later version so it should be in there too.

[expand2web]

@MettePeleikis - Any version after 2.8 this will work with.

[hajrulaswad]

Thanks for this video. It seems super easy but th eproblem is there is no Add New Themes button! I expanded it and still nothing. I have the right version too.

[expand2web]

Are you on WordPress 2.8 or higher?

[deux17]

In my dashbord don't appear Add new themes : /

[expand2web]

Hi - thanks for your note!

If you expand the Appearance menu on the left hand side of the screen while logged into WordPress, then you will see the "Themes" and "Add New Themes" items below it.

I hope this helps.

[FixExpo]

It still doesn't appear.

Hi, I am new to WordPress. Thank you for your video. It is really great to download without having to deal with FTP. As you said, it is rather confusing for a new blogger. I do have a question, where did you get "add theme" or "install themes" under your Apperance?

Thank you.
