Adding a theme (4 posts)

    Hi, I am very new to this so I apologise if this question has been asked before.

    I have just set up wordpress through the one click function on 123 reg. It has installed fine (I think) and the control panel gives me these options:

    * Blog
    * Administrative interface
    * Upload theme
    * Upload plugin

    However, if I click any of them it just leads to http://81.21.76.62/norfolk-wildlife-photography.co.uk/index.html which says "unable to retrieve results".

    Can anyone help me out? It's possible I am doing something very simple wrong. I want to upload a theme which I have just purchased (http://www.pixelthemestudio.ca/wordpress-themes-and-joomla-templates/222-layers-theme) and start getting things set up but I'm stumped at this early starting point!!!

    Thank you!

    Jon

    does the theme seller provide assistance/instructions for installing their themes?

    Hi, they only have intructions for after I've set the theme up.

    I have just set wordpress up through the one click function of my hosting company. Should I also download wordpress software from this site too? I'm confused!

    Cheers,

    Jon

    probably not.

    you may, however, need to use ftp or cpanel to upload the theme manually (possibly unzip it locally first on your computer)
