I just installed woocommerce on my wordpress site.

 

I'm trying to install a theme I downloaded from the woo commerce site.

 

It's downloaded into a folder on my desktop with 36 items, when I go to instsall it in wordpress what part do i have to select to upload?

 

Confused!

There should be a documentation, it is probably explained how to install.

What folders are there within the theme?

Did the original f36 files come as a zip? If that's the case, you just need to point to that usually when uploading the theme.

it seems to have unzipped itself.

 

Here's an image of the pack opened up.

 

EDIT the image upload did not work for some reason...grrr.

 

its basically a load of php files and folders.

 

The folders are CSS, Functions, Images, includes, lang, styles, typefaces.

Good good

The theme I'm using is a free woocommerce theme, mystile. If I upload all my products etc will it be easy to change to a premium theme or a later date?

 

Or is everything likely to get messed up?

In theory you can. I fairly recently did something like that and ballsed it all up and had to redo data. I'd always recommend backing up your files before doing so. You can backup data with a plugin such as Dropbox or WP-DB-Backup but a lot of these only do the database and not the files. I'll have a look at some of the plugins I have and will get back to you when I get a chance.

 

There are a good deal out there though that you can backup your data and send those backups to an email address. Essentially you can just change the theme and alot of the settings will be kept (depending on the theme and it's options) but personally, I'm not going to endorse that as I haven't had to do that myself and wouldn't want to give you the wrong advise.

1. Access your Web server using an FTP client or Web server administration tools.
2. Create a folder for your specific theme under "wp-content/themes" folder within WordPress installation.

   For example: <WordPressFolder>\wp-content\themes\<YourThemeName>

3. Copy or upload theme files exported from Artisteer into the newly created <YourThemeName> folder.
4. Log in to your WordPress administration panel and select Appearance -> Themes.
5. In the 'Available Themes' section find your theme title and screenshot, then click the 'Activate' link to activate it.
7. For more information please refer to the official WordPress documentation:
8. http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes#Adding_New_Themes

    

   If you use latter versions of WordPress (2.8-3.4),there is an alternative way for installing new themes. In the versions 2.8 and 2.9 you can install a theme by taking the path Appearance -> Add New Themes from your administration panel, and if you have WordPress 3.0-3.4 - by selecting the new tab "Install Themes" at Appearance -> Themes -> Install Themes.
