How To Upload a WordPress Theme Using an FTP Client Program

http://www.expand2web.com/blog/ - This video shows you how to use an FTP client to upload your WordPress Theme from your computer to your hosting account. In this video, we upload to a BlueHost account, but the steps will work for any hosting account that uses the CPanel interface.

@VonKaNon - that's good to know. Thanks for clarifying.

Hi - you need to make sure the "chiro" folder is in the /wp-content/themes folder and then it will show up in the WordPress Admin automatically for you.

mzmookiebby - you need to make sure to upload it to the wp-content/themes folder in your WordPress install directory.

OMG! thank you, thank you! using filezilla, I have been trying to figure out for the longest why I kept getting a connection error to bluehost.

I want to thank you so much for this video...I literally struggled for 2 days before I found this. After watching it I was up and running is less than an hour!

Thank you!!! :)

That was great! I didn't know where or how to just simply upload a theme and you simplified the process ten-fold! I use Godaddy hosting, but much of what you mentioned with Bluehost's setup is identical to Godaddy's.
