 * 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?
