Uploading a theme as a zip file (4 posts)

    I purchased a theme called BrightGallery. When I download it, my Mac seems to automatically convert from a zip to just a folder with some files in it. I tried zipping it back up but the upload was unsuccessful. Any ideas? These are the individual files I downloaded that I tried to zip and then upload at WordPress. Hope you can help!

    If you are a talking about a site hosted at wordpress.com this is not the right forum. I'm not sure what the wordpress.com rules are about uploading themes.

    If you are talking about a site hosted on a server that your own or rent, then you need to upload the un-zipped files to your server and put them in the wp-content/themes folder. See this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes

    Have you figured out the problem yet? I also just purchased the premium template (Yes I rent a website and a domain through bluehost and I use wordpress as my site..so I download through the ftp). It still shows that I've installed the theme, but that the stylesheet is missing. I have also tried just transferring specific unzipped files from the mentioned list and still nothing. Please help

    @kmpproductions: If this is a commercial theme, we cannot really help. You need to seek support from the theme vendors.

    Otherwise, please post a new topic. It is considered impolite to interrupt another poster's thread.
