FTP’ing Problem

    I’m fairly certain I FTP’d correctly my newly downloaded(and fully zipped) theme to my wp-content/themes folder but even after I activate it in the admin panel, a lot of the images are missing from the theme when I load the actual web site. It seems, though, that everything is within the folder that I transferred. Is this a common rookie mistake?

    Thanks in advance,

    Andrew

    Often themes unzip to a subfolder named the same as the folder itself

    eg website.com/blog/wp-content/theme/theme/your_files

    if your wordpress blog installation isn’t buried one level too deep, simply move it one level up so your path reads

    eg website.com/blog/wp-content/theme/your_files

    I FTP’d the unzipped theme and its files to the destination: /public_html/exerciseproductreviews.com/wp-content/themes/snapshot but when one actually goes to exerciseproductreviews.com, many of the images do not show up. Is there some sort of file I must delete, similar to deleting the index.html file before uploading a template for regular websites or something I must add before the theme shows up properly?

    Thanks again,

    Andrew

    Normally themes ‘just work’ by unzipping them and putting the contents under the wp-content/themes/ folder so there’s no special trick to installing themes. Which FTP client are you using?
