Each WordPress theme can be installed in two ways: via ftp client or through the admin panel:
Installing WordPress Theme via FTP client (as example we will use Bober):
- unzip the bober.zip package (the ZIP package can be downloaded from https://hub.mpcthemes.net/bober-download/),
- connect to your server,
- navigate to the folder where your WordPress is installed,
- upload the bober folder into the wp-content/themes directory (the path will look like this: wp-content/themes/bober ),
- open the wp-admin panel (navigate through web browser to the folder where you have installed the WordPress e.g www.your_domain.com/wp-admin/),
- login to your wp-admin panel then from the sidebar on the left choose Appearance ,
- find the Bober and click the Activate button next to it.
Installing Theme via WordPress Admin Panel (as example we will use Bober):
- open the wp-admin panel (navigate through web browser to the folder where you have installed the WordPress e.g www.your_domain.com/wp-admin/),
- login to your wp-admin panel then from the sidebar on the left choose Appearance ,
