    to put into simple terms
    go to your FTP
    wordpress folder>wp-content folder>Themes folder>paste your theme folder there.

    if you want to, rename the "deafult" folder(ex.default1)
    then change your new theme's folder to default

    after you do this everything should work just fine

    To put it in simple terms, FTP is what you do using a FTP program. It's used to upload and download files between your home computer and the server you are hosting your site on. But since you are new to this, don't worry about that just yet.

    In your wordpress dashboard go to "Appearance" >> "Add New Themes" then click on "upload" at the top, next browse and select your theme and click "install now".
