 * I purchased a theme from themeforest.net, (boomerang) and it comes compressed.
   So I extract all the files, then recompress the boomerang theme part (so as to
   exclude psds, documentation, etc) and try to upload it. But every time it says“
   The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/zumbainp/public_html/wp-content/
   uploads/2011/06.”
 * What need to be changed so that I can install it?
    It’s for a client and it is
   relatively urgent. I am also happy to send the original packaged theme to someone
   if they can send me a compressed theme file that will work.
 * Thanks!

 * Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still
   have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the
   permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works
   OK.
