Here’s a quick video tutorial on how to install your WordPress theme using an FTP client. This is the recommended way of doing it.
The FTP software that I recommend is FileZilla. It’s a free application available for both Mac and PC. You can download it by visiting the FileZilla website.
After installing FileZilla, you will use it to set up an FTP connection to your website. That involves entering the server address (or IP address), your username and password. If you’re unsure about this step, contact your web host and they will provide you with this information.
Once you have your FTP connection set up, follow these steps:
- Unzip the package you downloaded from themejam.com.
- Upload the theme folder, which will have the title of the theme you’re installing. In the video example, we’re installing the Gadget theme. So the folder you will upload is named “Gadget”.
- Log into your WordPress admin, go to Appearance > Themes. Find the theme you wish to install and click “activate”. You’re all set!
Thank you guys, I love this place, you have put a lot of work into it as I see, awesome… good work mods.

Hi great job for with the detailed information,
I wan’t to mention the one click installation…
unfortunately these days there are still some servers/web hosts that do not have the one click installation of wordpress…
its a shame because it is so simple to install wordpress with either one click or CPanel(fantasticoDeluxe), it takes just a few seconds and you are done.
I have many Blogs all have the one click installation except one and I always have problems with that one, any ways the point of my rambling is if you do not yet have a web host please choose one with the one click installation, you will not have any problems and its worth its weight in gold.
