How do I change my wordpress background/theme?

2009-01-15 7:25 pm
Please respond as if I don't know ANYTHING about it. All i have done is download some zipped files of some themes I like. They are on my desktop and I don't know where to go from there. I don't know anything about CSS, wp-content, cpanel, FTP, etc. Please be as clear as possible and avoid ANY jargon that would be confusing. Like if you were explaining it to a first-timer.

I have a PC with Vista if that is even needed info.

You cannot change your theme as you would if you had your own domain name and hosting account.

The free Wordpress offers themes within the admin panel that you can use. To use another css file, you need to upgrade your account. This info is available in your admin account of your Wordpress account.

Well I am replying in steps.

Step1: Open www.wordpress.com
Step2: Login using your free account
Step3: Click on the blog you want to change
Step4: Click on Appearance
Step5: If you want to use a theme already present in Wordpress, click theme.
Step6: Click on the theme you want to use.
Step7: Click on the Activate The Theme.

Uploading CSS is not allowed in free Wordpress account

First of all, are you using WordPress on your own domain (ie. you have installed WordPress on your "yourdomain.com") or do you have a free account at Wordpress.com?

If you are using a free account on Wordpress.com, I don't think you can change the theme. You can certainly make changes by editing the CSS. Which theme are you using now and what do you need to change? Email me and I'll see if I can help you out there.

If you have installed Wordpress on "yourdomain.com", then:
1) The first thing you need to do is get a FTP client. Go to http://filezilla-project.org/ and download one from there. Follow the setup instructions to set it up on your computer.
2) Next, you'll need to unzip the theme(s) you've downloaded. You can get WinZip here (http://www.winzip.com/index.htm).
3) You will also need to contact your website hosting service provider and ask them for your FTP login details. You'll need your FTP host, username and password.
4) Once you have done all the above, login to your FTP account using FIlezilla. Look for the folder where your Wordpress is installed. Then, open then"wp-contents" folder and then "themes". Transfer the theme files from your computer to this "themes" folder.
5) Login to your Wordpress admin panel and click on "Appearance" (or "Design" for older versions of WordPress). Activate the theme by clicking on the one you want to use.
