   I've uploaded wordpress themes countless times but this new URL I have is through GO DADDY and they don't give direct help with uploading themes.

   I know to go to wp-content and themes and then browse for my folder that has the new theme I want and upload it but it's not working. It's just uploading the filed individually and not into the folder with the theme name. Therefore, when I go to my url, it doesn't show the new theme to choose from because the files are just inside the directory loose, and not in the theme folder.

   ARGH! I'm hoping someone has experience on how I can get a new folder in the theme folder so I can move my files in there.

   Thank you,

   Kym

   How did you upload the individual files? If you used the control panel, then you could have just uploaded the theme as a zip file and then unzipped (it's a button called unarchive) in the themes directory.

   If you used FTP, then just ftp the entire unzipped directory.

   You need to delete all those loose files...you can't upload them that way...they need to be in a directory.

   See the following for more help.
