    hi Dzinc  
    thankyou for the quick reply , and easy to read guide. have done exactly that but not having much luck lol.  
    getting an error message
    
    The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
    
    will look into it  
    thanks  
    paul

Then @KingDog said

    For that upload_max_filesize php error, you may want to talk to your web host about. I had the same error and needed to get my web host to increase my upload size - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-large-wordpress-xml-file?replies=6#post-721905
    
    Hope that helps

@tinnieboatmods replied

    thanks kingdog , have sent them a request and see what happens…ive seen you can do it yourself but i would most likely stuff it up so will let them do it lol

    Dzinc,
    
    I installed WordPress 3.9.1 to my server but when I go into Word Press site to add/upload my theme it doesnt give me the option.It appears it will only allow me to change to another free theme but will allow me to Go Premium but I already bought Inviticus from themeforest, which Im trying to install. Any ideas?

    Sounds like you have a blog hosted with wordpress.com, you need a self-hosted WordPress install instead.

    ### WordPress.com vs WordPress.org - Which is Better? (Comparison Chart)
    
    Wondering what's the difference between WordPress.org vs WordPress.com? Here's a comprehensive comparison of WordPress.org vs WordPress.com (infographic).

Then @dan.skrezyna said

    Thanks Tommus. I'll try to get this changed up/

So @dan.skrezyna replied

    The move does not appear to be working. Other than the name I used for it, I didnt have anything on the wordpress free blog I cared about saving. Should I just delete it altogether and create a self-hosted wordpress.org? If that's possible.

    Unzip and install the smaller .zip from within.

To which @ahilbert replied

    Having the same problem as mmlondon. NOTHING will install. Ive unzipped and re-zipped the folder inside - no joy. HOW IN THE WORLD AM I SUPPOSED TO USE ANYTHING ON THEMEFOREST??!!
    
    This happens on a variety of themes…
    
    NO CSS? I can open the folder and see it… what's wrong?  
    so frustrating.

So @tater.raj replied

    Hi, I've installed the Sweet Cake paid theme on my wordpress site. But it doesn't look anything similar to http://themeforest.net/item/sweet-cake-responsive-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/5514731
    
    Logo, Menu, Flash Images with Slider, Services we provide, Testimonials etc - everything is missing.
    
    Plz suggest.

To which @Amberr32 replied

    Once I click on themes, I'm not getting the option to install theme

@sarahsorum replied

    I'm not sure if the WordPress layout has changed since this was posted, or if I just can't find it, but I can't find the “install themes” or “upload” options on the Themes menu. Any advice?

@charlie4282 replied

    Are you using a Wordpress.com site?

@sarahsorum replied

    Yes. Sorry, as you've maybe deduced I have no idea what I'm doing! Thank you for your help!

Then @sarahsorum said

    OK, so now I'm on wordpress.org and tried to upload, but it says “The zip file must include a file named screenshot.png or screenshot.jpg.” Am I just hopelessly in over my head?

@charlie4282 replied

    You need your own domain and hosting where you need to install WordPress and then you can add the theme there

Then @Amberr32 said

    I purchased and installed the “Act” theme. My issue is it will only allow my to work on the home page. It will not let me move past that as far as adding additional content on new pages. What can I do?
    
    my site www.markscommunityoutreach.org the only accessible page is the home page.
