    Hey there, this is taken from the linux penguin

    STEP #1:
    Download the theme. Just search Google for free Wordpress themes or similar phrases and look for a template that will fit your needs. Once you find a WP template that you like, preview it (check its live demo) to see if all is OK. Imagine how it shall look like on your website (blog). Then click the download button or link and you should be downloading a .zip file.

    STEP #2:
    Extract the .zip file on your PC and read the ReadMe document that is included within the template’s files (if any) for your reference and to know the license.

    STEP#3:
    Upload the complete folder of your template to your Wordpress installation - into the following folder: yourwebsite.com/wp-content/themes/
    The best way to do this is to upload the files via FTP using an FTP client. Uploading files via a file manager would take too long time and would be quite difficult as you would have to upload the files file by file. So if your web hosting provider supports FTP, it’s worth using it.

    STEP #4:
    Now that the files are uploaded, you just need to activate the template. To activate it simply login to your WP installation on yourwebsite.com/wp-login.php and go to Design > Themes and just select the new theme. Click “Activate”. Now when you refresh your website, it should load with the new Wordpress theme.
