Helllo, I am new to wordpress an publishing sites and I am in a bit of a mess

I bought hosting in 1&1 and got a wordpress template in theme forest. I am almost finishied installing the wordpress 3.2.2 files in 1&1 following a tutorial. I use a Mac

the themeforest template instructions says I have to install the templte in an editor which seems wordpress.com, now I read I can´t install and custom outside templates in the wordpress.com editor.

What do I have to do? I have the .com domain in 1&1 as well, how can I customize the template?

I’m sorry but as you are using a commercial theme, you need to seek support from the theme’s vendors.

All you need to do is by either using FTP or through your hosting control panel, navigate to wp-content/themes and drag the theme folder from Themeforest into it.

Normally if you buy a theme from themeforest, it usually has instructions in the zip file so be sure to check.

You edit the theme from inside WordPress – you’ll most likely have theme options to control certain things, but you can then go to ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Editor’ and edit the rest of the files from there.
