   Hi There,

   When I click the install button for a new theme -- instead of saving a zip file locally -- it requests:

   Connection Information
   Hostname:
   Username:
   Password:
   Connection type: FTP or FTPS(SSL)

   I don't know what this information is... I've tried my websites FTP login, I've tried my admin login for my website, I've tried my wordpress username, nothing works. I keep getting error messages.

   Is there anyway to download the zip files locally?
   THANKS!

   It apparently had something to do with trying to access new themes from my dashboard.

   When I got out of dashboard and went straight to the wordpress themes area -- I was able to download zip files.

   Thanks anyway

   Where did you go to do that "out of dashboard"? I'm having the same problem and it's driving me bonkers.

   Thank you!
