   Hi Everyone,
   Not sure what I am doing but I am trying to figure it out. I bought a theme and I am trying to install it. The instructions say to Uploads and cache folders

   Inside the Documentation folder you will also see an “uploads” folder with a cache folder and some images inside. Take the entire folder and upload it inside the wp-content folder.

   Next make both the uploads and the cache folder inside writable by changing permissions to 777.
   This is before I install it, which I am pretty sure I know how to do. Anyway, the problem I am having is when I try to upload the entire file through Hostgator, in the "Uploads" file, there are many files inside that file. Do I upload one at a time? How do I upload the entire folder. Do I click on each one and upload it until I have uploaded everything in the file. I am sorry if this is a really stupid question or if one can't even answer it because I am not clear enough. I am trying to learn, so please forgive me. Thanks if anyone can point me in the right direction. Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

   If you download a copy of filezilla it will make things easier as you will be able simply to drag the folder and upload all of the files at one time. Then you can right click the folder and change the permissions.

   I bought a theme and I am trying to install it.

   As this is a commercial theme, you need to seek support from the theme's vendors.

   Ok Thank you for replying. I guess I should have known what I was getting myself into before I purchased it. I thought I would be able to do it myself. Thanks again!
