# Theme not installing

 * I’m trying to install one of the themes from the “Install Themes” panel and I
   get as far as the login screen to enter my password, and hit proceed. It looks
   like it’s processing, but then when it’s done I just get a blank screen. I checked
   the wp-content/themes folder and the new theme is not there. How can I resolve
   this? Please let me know…Thanks!!

   proceed”…???

 * Download the theme manually, and then upload the entire theme’s folder via FTP
   to public_html/wp-content/themes.
 * WP *should* recognise the theme and then look after the rest for you.
