 * I can’t figure out how to download this plugin! [http://boren.nu/archives/2005/03/08/preview-theme-plugin/](http://boren.nu/archives/2005/03/08/preview-theme-plugin/)
 * I was told to save as a php file on my computer and upload it to my plugins folder.
   I did that, although it saved as a php.htm file. I went into my cpanel and changed
   it to just php, and also changed the permissions to 777.
 * It still doesn’t show up in my plugins admin. Is there something else I need 
   to do?

 * go to –
    [http://boren.nu/downloads/preview_theme.phps](http://boren.nu/downloads/preview_theme.phps)
 * which is the source code for the plugin, hit ctrl-a to select all, then ctrl-
   c to copy, then go to your cpanel, you may be better off creating a file called
   preview.php then sending that to your plugins dir via ftp or by using telnet/
   pico or vi and creating the file by pasting the code in a new file in the plugins
   dir. it should then show up in the plugins list.
 * i haven’t read the documentation on that particular plugin, but the above instructions
   should work, 755 permissions should be fine.

 * I am having this same problem. How do I make a .php file in my cPanel?
