 * Hi, I am very new to this so I apologise if this question has been asked before.
 * I have just set up wordpress through the one click function on 123 reg. It has
   installed fine (I think) and the control panel gives me these options:
 *  * Blog
    * Administrative interface * Upload theme * Upload plugin
 * However, if I click any of them it just leads to [http://81.21.76.62/norfolk-wildlife-photography.co.uk/index.html](http://81.21.76.62/norfolk-wildlife-photography.co.uk/index.html)
   which says “unable to retrieve results”.
 * Can anyone help me out? It’s possible I am doing something very simple wrong.
   I want to upload a theme which I have just purchased ([http://www.pixelthemestudio.ca/wordpress-themes-and-joomla-templates/222-layers-theme](http://www.pixelthemestudio.ca/wordpress-themes-and-joomla-templates/222-layers-theme))
   and start getting things set up but I’m stumped at this early starting point!!!
 * Thank you!
 * Jon

 * Hi, they only have intructions for after I’ve set the theme up.
 * I have just set wordpress up through the one click function of my hosting company.
   Should I also download wordpress software from this site too? I’m confused!
 * Cheers,

 * probably not.
 * you may, however, need to use ftp or cpanel to upload the theme manually (possibly
   unzip it locally first on your computer)
