How to install a theme on WordPress
For installing a theme on WordPress, you should download the zip package from the source website and, after that, upload it to your host. The best way is to install a theme from your WordPress panel. Go to your WordPress panel, click on appearance>> themes, then click on “Add new,” and in the new page, click on “upload theme,” and then choose your file and click on “install now.” Your theme will be installed, and you can activate it whenever you want from the themes menu.
If you have a problem installing the theme from the WordPress panel, you can do it in another way. You can go to your cPanel or any other panel that you have to manage your host or server, go to file manager, and upload your theme to this directory “public_html/wp-content/themes/,” and after that, extract the zip file. Now you can also activate the theme whenever you want from your WordPress panel.
