Archive for the ‘Theme’ Category

Although my hosts and WordPress itself has some pretty good themes included, it is nice to add more.

You can get more here: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/

There is the easy way to install the themes, i.e. just download the theme file, unzip on your computer, then upload the extracted folder and files to the wp-content\themes folder on your host.

But then there is also the smart and so much easier way of doing it:

• Find the theme that you want and copy the URL to the theme download. For Pixeled the currently most popular theme, that URL is http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/pixeled.1.9.1.zip
• SSH to your host
• Navigate to the folder WP-Content\Themes
• Use the commend wget <URL> && unzip <DOWNLOADED_FILE> && rm <DOWNLOADED_FILE>. For Pixeled that command “wget would be http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/pixeled.1.9.1.zip && unzip pixeled.1.9.1.zip && rm pixeled.1.9.1.zip”
• Now hit enter, it will download the theme, unzip it and delete the file all in one command.
