Support » Fixing WordPress » Uploading themes and plugins

  • I’m VERY new to blogs. I’ve dowloaded wordpress through by e-mail and webpage host provider. I’ve been playing with the format and becoming familiar with how to use it. However, I don’t know how to dowload useful additions. Given that wordpress is not downloaded on my PC but the host, i don’t know how i can download files into it (i.e. new themes, plugins etc.)

  • With wordpress 2.8.4 you can add plugins and themes right from wordpress. In your backend, click “appearance” or “plugins” and look for “add new”.

    In addition, you can download themes and plugins from http://wordpress.org/extend and check out the plugins or themes directory. You will download a .zip file and upload it via FTP to your themes or plugins directory on your web server. If you have no idea what I just said, I would recommend reading the Getting Started with WordPress guide: http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress and looking through the codex a few times.

    Good luck.
