    Hi guys, I’ve been experimenting with dreamweaver and editting themes for my site. I’ve build the theme I want but I don’t know how to upload it. I’m hosting on Dreamhost and using Dreamweaver CS5 to edit the theme. could someone help me out with how to go about uploading my new site?

    Thanks

    Same Here. I edoted a WordPress theme using Expression Web 4 on my my computer (local server) and I want to upload to my hosting server. I am having trouble figuring out which files to actually update.

    You upload the entire theme folder.

    You upload it to

    go inside wp-content
    and inside themes.

    place the folder there and then login to you site admin and activate the theme from in there.

    I uploaded the the theme folder and my home page does not carry it’s theme. I had two home pages on my menu and one had an ‘id’ and one did not have an id’. It appears a home page is included without adding a page. I put an “&eclude=” in the “id_menu” div and it got rid of the of the one with the ‘id’. When I previewed on my local server it looked fine. So why does my local server show what I want and the real server does not??
