How to install MyBandTheme
Installing MyBandTheme onto your WordPress installation is a simple process, and is carried out exactly how you would install any other theme.
First of all, you'll need to download the zip file from your account.
Before you are able to activate the theme, you'll need to upload the theme files to your server.
You have several ways of doing that, as you'll see below:
- Use WordPress's built in theme uploader (goto Appearance > Themes in your WordPress installation),
- or you could upload the zip file directly onto your server and unzip it there (upload to YOURDOMAIN.COM/wp-content/themes/),
- or you could unzip the files onto your hard drive, and upload the files separately.
