Hello,
click on appearance*theme and scroll down. Than click on add new theme.
In window you should open you have upload button.

Thx Kristina !
But the problem is … there is no “add new theme ” button !
(not on my page anyway)
Hello shapeshifterbe,
I use wp 3.8.1, and there the upload button is on the top left next to the menu. Since my WP is german, it is called ‘Hinzufügen’, but this shouldn’t change the place on the screen.

Thx Paka !
Tried to update to 3.8.1 … didn’t work
The links in the “Famous 5-minute install” don’t work !
How do I update ?
Hey shapeshifterbe –
So in WordPress 3.8.1 the way you install a new theme is by doing the following –
Roll-Over ‘appearance’ on the left and wait for the flyout menu to show up – then click ‘themes’.
Now, up top there is a button called ‘Add New’ – please click this button.
Now, again at top there is a ‘text’ only menu – no ‘tabs’ really, the options are –
Search | Upload | Featured | Newest | Recently Updated
Please click ‘upload’.
This will take you to the screen you need to upload the file.
If the option isn’t there, then please contact your hosting provider as they most likely have something misconfigured or have a weird copy of WP they are deploying on your server.
Hope that helps!
Or if you have FTP access then just upload the theme’s folder to the /wp-content/themes/ folder of your install. 🙂
