Many individuals use WordPress for blogging – however, there are a
number of individuals who may not be familiar with how to change the
theme. The theme can be a nice reflection of your business and/or the
perception of your business.
As one who has recently begun to use WordPress, I was inquisitive as
to how this can be done. For the individuals who are not familiar with
the process, I hope this helps…
During the WordPress installation process, there are a couple of themes you can choose from. You can find the themes in your WordPress administration area, click Appearance, and then click Themes.
You can change the theme simply by clicking on the desired theme and then Activate (the theme name will appear).
To choose a different WordPress theme, the first
process is to download it to your local machine. The WordPress themes
gallery, and the ability to download them are on their site. There are
various themes that are free or a theme can be purchased with the amount
indicated next to that theme if applicable.
Once the new WordPress theme has been downloaded on your local hard drive, upload it under the ‘wp-content/themes’ directory of your website. You have two options to do that:
You can upload the .zip file of the theme in the ‘wp-content/themes’ directory via the File Manager and extract it online OR extract the file in your computer and then to upload the content in the desired folder via FTP.
Now, that you have the new theme uploaded on your site in the right
folder, you can see it in your WordPress Administration panel and select
it as a default theme for your site.
