Please consult your hosting provider&#8217;s documentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, the hosting provider gives you a username and password when you make a new account, which you&#8217;ll need when creating your FTP Client account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-download-your-theme-and-unzip-the-file\">3.

Once you&#8217;ve downloaded your .zip file containing your theme, you&#8217;ll need to unzip your file. You can do this by right-clicking the.zip file and choosing Extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-upload-the-theme-folder-to-wordpress-to-install\">4. Upload the theme folder to WordPress to install.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the FTP client<strong><em>, <\/em><\/strong>find the root of your WordPress installation. Next, go into the <strong><em>wp-content<\/em><\/strong> folder, and select&nbsp;<em><strong>Themes<\/strong><\/em>.
