 * I’m trying to upload the mh magazine lite theme to a new blog hosted by UK2. 
   As per the ‘using themes’ instructions, in dashboard have clicked on ‘appearance’
   then ‘theme’. Now looking to select ‘add new’. It doesn’t seem to be there. Can
   you help?

 * Hi Erica,
 * thanks for downloading MH Magazine _lite_.
 * You can upload themes to your self-hosted WordPress site in your dashboard under**“
   Appearance => Themes => Add New”**. Here you can find more information: [How to install a WordPress theme](http://www.mhthemes.com/support/how-to-install-wordpress-theme/).
 * If you don’t have the _“Add New”_ button in your dashboard, there might be some
   restrictions within your WordPress installation. Please ensure that you are logged
   in as **administrator** and if that’s already the case, we recommend that you
   contact your hosting provider and report the issue, because then they probably
   don’t allow uploading of themes.
 * Please also keep in mind that the MH Magazine _lite_ theme is a free theme that
   is available on WordPress.org. So there is no need to first download and then
   upload the theme. Simply search the theme through your WordPress dashboard and
   then install and active it.
 * By the way, the forum for the theme is located here: [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/mh-magazine-lite](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/mh-magazine-lite)
