Bill Rose,
Do you have permissions set to 777 on the uploads folder? Right click on the uploads folder in an FTP program such as Transmit and select ‘get info’.
I am incapable – what is an uploads folder? Is that on my computer or in my dashboard? What is Transmit?
Thanks
Bill Rose,
Transmit is an FTP (File Transfer program) used to upload/download files, images and folders from your website ( for example ). The uploads folder is the folder that stores uploads of images and other files which is a basic part of WordPress. The uploads folder is not on the Dashboard, images are typically uploaded to this folder through the Dashboard via the Media tab.
If you’re trying to upload a theme it should be done through Appearances > Add New Theme. Give that a try.
