It sounds like you’re trying to upload a template to the wrong location. The “upload” button on the admin page is not for uploading plugins or additions to wordpress itself, that is only for uploading content to your blog. You’d use that if you needed to link to a local picture or something for an entry.

You need access to the actual directory structure of wordpress so you can unzip the new template (the folder and the files in that folder) to the /home/myeggs/public_html/wp-content/themes/ directory. Once the theme files are there, you should be all set. It is that easy, but if you don’t know what you’re doing it can seem tougher than it is.

The way most people access their unix servers is through ftp. Someone, hopefully you, had to install wordpress at sometime. If it was you, how did you get the files into your home folder?

If you can use an FTP client, like SmartFTP, to log in to your public_html directory, navigate to the \wp_content\themes\ directory and copy over the unzipped rose theme files.

Is there a way to make the theme editor page display tabs in a different way? I like the tabs in there, but they don’t need to be displayed as 8 spaces. What would I need to change to make it display as only 3 or 4 spaces? I’m even more of a php noob than notdead, so sorry if this is something obvious.

Thanks.
