I am a complete Newbie so please forgive my lack of know how and technical terms.
I am trying to upload a theme that I purchased at THEMEFOREST. As recommended by Word Press I am using FILEZILLA and have followed all instructions on downloading and uploading as provided in the Codex. Everywhere I look for help to complete this task says to go to APPEARANCE from my admin page ... there is no APPEARANCE on my page. I've even located a picture
http://codex.wordpress.org/File:presentthemes2.7.png
and my Admin page has no dashboard. How do I find this?
Also I need t upgrade to a newer version, 2.9.1. I have followed the instructions for this also and nothing has changed.
I'm really confused and getting frustrated with myself ... will someone please point me in the correct direction?
I am using register.com for my host, if that matters.
Thank you so much,
Barb
can you take a screen shot of your admin area and post it?
Also, I would recommend uploading the 'admin' and 'includes' folders again.
Is the new them you bought uploaded under THEMES in the CONTENT folder?

Hello, thank you so much for replying. I would love to take a screen shot but don't know how, I'm very green, sorry.
I installed word press with the help of my host, register.com, there was a button, so I have no clue how to upload word press at all, especially not select files ... I'd love to learn.
I have nothing on my admin themes page. Look at the picture in the link that I put in my original post and cut off the whole dashboard on the left ... that is what my page looks like, no folders, no options, just the two basic themes and a link to find more themes at word press.
Thank you again for your reply , I really appreciate it ... maybe I need an online guide for Dummies, is there one?? lol
