hey, ive just switched to bluehost so im doing all this at the moment.
when you added your new domain, i assume you made it an add-on? so yournewdomain.com was actually what was at example.olddomain.com?
if this is the case, under public_html there should be a folder equivalent to example in the domain. within this folder should be wp-admin, wp-content wp-includes and some files. under wp-content are your themes.
so the path should be this
public_html>example>wp-content>themes>new theme
ive used should because that is how it all works on my account, so im assuming it’ll be the same.
hope you find it
edit — oh, and you need to be using an ftp client to do all this
You are right on with the domain. I just tried this path and I’m not seeing a folder for new theme. Do I create a folder or download into the themes?
I tried just uploading into the themes folder but it still didn’t show.
in the path i wrote with the >s example and new theme were just examples of folders that you might have. so example would be the name of your new site without the .com.
New theme was just in place of the theme you want to upload.
so you should be uploading the theme to the themes directory. this SHOULD then appear on the presentation screen.
are you sure you are uploading to the right domain, that is, not to just public_html>wp-content>themes?
and may seem obvious, but are you logging in to the right admin panel?
They told me to log into the same admin panel. I will try it again.
Do you have two different log-ins?
you’ll be using the same admin panel on bluehost.com, but if it is a different wordpress blog, it’ll have a different admin panel specific to the new blog.
if you used fantastico to set it up, you’ll need to use the password and username you chose at that point
Epicalex,
You have been a huge help, I figured it out. For those who have the same problem revert back to this post. Also remember to hit the extract button once you click on the file!!!
