Title: Theme Management Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Theme Management * [davidzs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidzs/) * (@davidzs) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-management/) * Lets say I downloaded a theme similar to this [http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/23567.html](http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/23567.html) * How would I go about putting the pictures in the slots meant for them and making them thumbnails to a page relevant to a picture? This is clearly not a post. Is this something that has to be done in the CSS or Html or can it be done through the manager in the page section? * Thanks as always * David Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [rebeccaring](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rebeccaring/) * (@rebeccaring) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-management/#post-1333165) * I am having a similar problem and answer to this would be great * [Gabe Young](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabeyoung/) * (@gabeyoung) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-management/#post-1333169) * It really depends on the theme’s backend. Some themes provide an admin feature that will allow you to do what you’re asking without having to touch any code, which sounds like what you’re looking for. * Since I’m not familiar with that theme in particular, I would ask them directly.

It won’t be a hard tweak, and if you are paying money for a theme, it sure oughta have detailed instructions * Thread Starter [davidzs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidzs/) * (@davidzs) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-management/#post-1333171) * No plug-ins involved? * [Rev. Voodoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvoodoo/) * (@rvoodoo) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-management/#post-1333172) * no i definitely wouldn’t think so… * Too bad they don’t give a lot of detail before you buy…it’d be nice to know what you are facing before committing * the requirements say you need to have photoshop (GIMP is free, and also opens. psd files. That hints that youo may have to do some image editing…..I’m not sure how much tho) * **NOTE**–that says website template, not wordpress template….**To Be Clear**….. downloading a theme similar to that which is WP ready should be easy to adjust pictures…..that specific template would not be * Thread Starter [davidzs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidzs/) * (@davidzs) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-management/#post-1333173) * Is the themes images folder naturally in WP or would it be osmehting I haev to add? * Im still not sure how all this would make it a a link that leads to another page or an add, can you elaborate a little more? * (sorry for the ignorance) * Thanks David * Thread Starter [davidzs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidzs/) * (@davidzs) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-management/#post-1333174) * Also if its not a plug in, what are plug ins like this for: * [http://docs.tribulant.com/wordpress-banner-rotator-plugin/423](http://docs.tribulant.com/wordpress-banner-rotator-plugin/423) ? * [Rev. Voodoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvoodoo/) * (@rvoodoo) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-management/#post-1333175) * well…if you find a theme that is set up to have ad placement in it, or images like the one you showed….. the code is already in place. All themes have image folders, thats where the components of the theme are kept. Making a picture a link that leads to a page would be as simple as switching out one url for another within the template. * Again, I can only be generic, as every theme is different. They are all coded in a manner that makes sense to the author. * There are many themes out there that have slots for you to insert your own photos into slots. * That plugin is to add rotating ads to your site. It’s just an easy way of managing rotating ads. Instead of hard coding that into your theme, you use that plugin and then only need to insert one line of code into your theme to call to that plugin. * I would definitely recommend looking around at some of the free themes out there, finding ones that look appealing, installing them to see what you can do. Don’t pay for any themes for sure, until you are sure you are able to use them. Try to develop a basic understanding of how themes work, how to do minor edits, etc…. * [joycerothman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joycerothman/) * (@joycerothman) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-management/#post-1333321) * HI, * I’m so new and clueless. How do I find the theme’s folders. My theme is here but I don’t know how to access it. I put it in the url after wp-admin but that didn’t work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
