Upload Panthea Theme Shop

UPLOAD the Panthea file. You can do this one of two ways:

a. Via WordPress – Log into your WordPress site.

When you get to your dashboard, scroll down the left sidebar to the Appearance-panel and hover over or click on “Appearance”. You will immediately see a drop-down list like the one in the visual below:

Click on “Themes” and you will see two tabs – Manage Themes and Install Themes. Click “Install Themes”.

Under “Install Themes”, click on “Upload”, and this is what you will see.

Now you are ready to upload the Panthea shop file that you unzipped earlier. Click “Browse” and find the Panthea Shop file on your desktop.

Click the Panthea Shop file, then click “open”. The file name will appear in the browse box.

Click “install now” and wait for the installation message. *Note: The installation will probably take a few minutes, so please be patient.

When the installation is finished, you should see this:

Under the words “Theme installed successfully,” you will see an option to immediately click on “Activate” to activate the theme. You may activate it from this screen, or you can navigate back to “Appearance”, click on “Themes”, and there you will see all your theme choices, including Panthea Shop.

Click on the Panthea Shop icon and then “Save and Activate”. Here is what your new screen will look like:
