Steps?

Having trouble with this.

My thought process would be:

1.) FTP the theme to the webserver
2.) Go to /WP-Admin/
3.) Enable and edit from there

?

I'm trying to update the theme for my wp and I keep getting

This, with no option to continue.
 
I have also FTP'd the unzipped version to the webserver but don't know how to activate it from wp admin.

Thanks for any help in advance.
 
have you ftp'd the unzipped version of your theme to the proper directory on your server? The folder should be */public_html/wp-content/themes/YourNewThemeName*
where YourNewThemeName is the folder containing the extracted (unzipped) files (including index.php).
 
hmmm.... is your theme compatible with your current version of WP? And do you mind sharing the name of your theme?
 
i just downloaded it from that link and it worked for me via FTP...

here's what i did:

1) extract the zip to a folder: Magstar [free-premium-wordpress-themes.com]

2) inside that folder is another folder just called "Magstar"

3) inside the "Magstar" folder mentioned above is a folder just called "magstar" (all lower case, without the quotes of course)

4) the lower case magstar folder is the one that contains the index.php file and this folder is the one you need to ftp to /public_html/wp-content/themes/

It's working fine for me on WP Version 2.9.2



EDIT: I should mention that i got the same errors you showed above when i tried to upload the .zip file via the wp-admin interface. I think it's just a matter of extracting and getting to the exact folder that you need to upload to make it work. Hope this helps.
 
I have it FTP'd exactly as you described. Where in the control panel did you go to activate it?

Thanks for your help, by the way.
