How Do I Install a WordPress Theme on a Self Hosted Site?

Most web hosts provide a limited selection of WordPress themes for you to use on your site. However, if you’re hosting your site yourself, you can install any WordPress theme you want. Here are some tips for installing a WordPress theme:

You can also browse by category or by author.

2. Once you find the theme you want, click on the link to download it.

3. Once the theme has been downloaded, you’ll need to extract the files to your site.

cd c:\wp\themes\mytheme\

unzip mytheme.zip
