4. Upload the extracted theme folder to the themes directory.
5. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
6. Go to Appearance → Themes.
7. Locate the uploaded theme and click Activate.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure you are uploading the correct ZIP package (not the entire downloaded package if it contains documentation, licenses, and other files).
• If you receive an upload size limit error, raise your PHP memory limit or install the theme/plugin using FTP instead.
• Make sure the uploaded folder structure is correct (for example, theme-name/style.css directly inside the theme directory).
• After installation, clear your website and browser cache if changes do not appear immediately.
