    Of course, it works the same way... unpack theme, upload the theme folder to blog/wp-content/themes

    hope that helps,
    Nigel

    Once you have a theme (from google, wordpress.org etc) you just need to upload it to your site's /wp-content/themes folder using either FTP or cPanel, which should have a File Manager tool that you could use. Then you just apply the theme in WordPress admin (in the Appearance menu if you are using the latest version).

    Yes you can do this with feedzilla.
    Unzip it at your PC and then upload the folder to the f1driverssecrets.com/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes

    Then login to your WP dashboard, go to appearance and change the theme..

    You can do this using any FTP Client (For e.g. BlazeFTP,Filezilla).

    Doesn't matter if you use an FTP tool or if you upload and extract with cPanel. I prefer to upload zip files then extract using cPanel. Faster.
