 * I am getting this error message when I try to upload a theme:
 * Are you sure you want to do this?
 * Please try again.
    Forbidden
 * You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/update.php on this server.
 * What am I doing wrong?

 * You can use ftp or if on cpanel or similar hosting, use the built in file manager
   to upload your theme to the wp-content/themes folder.

 * Awesome, thanks. Turns out, of course, that it is something I needed to edit 
   with the hosting site. I was looking all over WordPress to find it. Thanks!
