 * Hi I am a total novice and I started my site with the Preferential Lite theme.
   I now wish to upload the childtheme zip file but keep getting “bad request your
   browser sent a request that this server could not understand”. I have tried to
   upload in Firefox and Chrome. I have also cleared my dns. Anyone have any suggestions
   please, I would be very grateful.
    seedofcalm.com Think I am using latest version
   of wordpress but not sure.

 * Think I have found the answer on another forum. Seems I have to unzip, then upload
   to my site using an FTP client.
