In most cases, all you would need to do is download the theme and place it in your wp-content/themes directory. Once it’s in there, go into your control panel under the Appearance section and activate the new theme.
Hi SteelFrog,
Yeh I have done that and am at the stage where I now need to configure it all to activate the slider and widgets etc. I am completely lost.
is there someway I could send you the manual so you can check it out for me.
Fancidance
What are you trying to do, exactly? It’s a little hard for me to understand what you’re asking without seeing it, or having a detailed explanation of what you’re trying to achieve.
Ok, I have uploaded my new template and activated it. However, the documentation that came with the template gives me a number of instructions that I have to follow but they are very vague. This is what it says….
Installation of the template:
1. Unpack the package content and upload your selected skin into your WordPress theme directory
2. Create a homepage and select the template “Frontpage”
3. Under Settings->Reading->”Front page displays” select “a static page” and choose the created homepage
4. Create a blogpage
5. Under Settings->Reading->”Post page” choose the created blogpage
6. 777 Read/write permission :
– Interline/inc/cache – Interline/inc/cu3er/xml
Congratulations. The basic configuration is now finished.
Some important hints:
Preview pictures in posts:
– This template supports preview pictures in your posts.
– Always upload the pictures into WordPress first and go to your post page.
– Copy the picture link and put it into as value in the custom field “prewiev” (check for this spelling!)
– If “prewiev” does not exist, you must create it with the “add” button.
Slider (3d Slider and Javascript Slider) Important Notice: Both slider components are based on posts, meaning you need a post and picture to work. These have to be configured at the according places. Pictures have to be at least 940px wide (more information below)

3d Slider (cu3er) Configuration The XML File for the 3d Slider will be published automatically. In the admin section Interline –> Slider the main settings can be configured as follows:
–
Refresh cu3er xml file Refresh Cu3er configuration file. IMPORTANT!! If you put this to “yes” the configuration file will be refreshed everytime a page is viewed (also Posts). Our hint: Make your changes here and in posts now, view your wordpress homepage and then put this selection to “no” afterwards – this massively saves computing time and makes viewing of your pages faster.
