    Hello,

    So im trying to upload a theme onto my website. Its a theme i have made on my computer but everytime i try to upload it gives me this error

This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/update.php?action=upload-theme might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_ACCESS_DENIED

    I have been trying to upload since satarday.

    I am also using GCP(GOOGLE CLOUD platform) and added wordpress supported by bitnami so i dont think that i have a cpanel or anyway to add it manually

    The process i used it
    appearance>themes>add new> upload theme

    i am NOT uploading a zip but simply from my bitnami wordpress themes folder.

    Also i have tried on local host and it still says the same thing

    I have also tried installing diffrent themes that are from wordpress(not personally builtt) and they activate

    I have also tried to unistall all plugins and there is still a problem.

    Is wordpress down or is it a just-me kind of issue?

    Help please!

    To use the uploader, the theme must be contained in a .zip file. If your theme is already in your themes folder, there’s no need to upload, just activate it if you want to use it.

    Uploading local theme files to a localhost installation does not involve wordpress.org, so it wouldn’t matter if the site were down or not (it’s not). You don’t even need the uploader or a zipped theme, just copy the individual files to /themes/ using your computer’s file manager.
