Installation

The first step in getting started with our themes is installing them. There are two ways to do this, the first being the "Wordpress Install a Theme" feature. Sometimes this may not work for you, usually because of a server restriction such as memory. In that case, you will need to install your theme manually via FTP.

Requirements:

• A web server with Wordpress installed and working.

Installing your theme through WordPress

Using the WordPress Installer is very easy and many hosting companies have it seamlessly integrated into their own back end. With other hosting companies, there is a good chance that it will simply not work. For those who would like to try the WordPress Installer, you will need to:

1. Download your theme from where you purchased it (Mysitemyway.com, Themeforest.net, Mojo-themes.com). It will be available as a zip archive. (.zip file)
2. If you downloaded your theme directly from us at Mysitemyway.com, you can skip the next step two steps and go directly to step 5.
3. Extract the contents to your desktop and find the actual theme folder. For example, if you downloaded inFocus, then after extracting, the actual theme will be in a folder called "infocus."
4. You will need to zip up this folder. If you're on Windows, then right click -> Send to -> Compressed Zip.
5. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Themes.
6. At the very top click on "Install Theme" and then click on "Upload".
7. From here, you will need to select the zip file you downloaded from us or the one you just created if you downloaded from Themeforest.net and then click on "Install Now."

Manually installing via FTP

If for some reason you cannot install your theme through Wordpress, then you will need to use FTP. This boils down to logging into your server and uploading the theme folder to the Wordpress theme directory.

1. Download your theme from where you purchased it (Mysitemyway.com, Themeforest.net, Mojo-themes.com). It will be available as a zip archive. (.zip file)
2. Extract the contents of the zip archive onto your desktop.
3. There will be a few folders such as documentation and PSDs. Take note of the folder of your theme name. For example if you purchased inFocus then the folder name would be "infocus". This is the actual theme and the folder that you need to upload.
4. Start up your FTP client. We recommend using FileZilla since it is free and cross-platform.
5. At the top you will see the login bar. You will need to input your FTP account information here and click on "Quick Connect" to login your server. If you do not have an FTP account setup then get in contact with your hosting provider and they will show you how to create one.

1. After logging into your server the next step is to find the Wordpress theme directory. First off find the directory where you installed Wordpress (usually inside public_html). From here you will keep navigating through the directories until you reach the theme directory. The path will usually look like this, /public_html/wp-content/themes/, here is a tutorial on how to navigate with FileZilla.
2. Inside the theme directory you should see a folder called "twentyten" which is the Wordpress default theme. That means you are on the right path. Go ahead and upload our theme to "themes" folder (not 'twentyten'!) from your desktop by right clicking on your theme folder -> Upload. This will usually take around 5 minutes.

Now that we have the theme uploaded into your theme directory we just need to activate it.

1. Login to your Dashboard and navigate to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Themes. From here you should see your theme listed. Go ahead and activate your theme. Next you will want to configure your theme settings.
