Hi Privateer Folks,

I'm new here having just downloaded the theme in the last day or so and ready to give it a try.

Hopefully, my questions do not reveal all of my ignorance about WP Themes.  Wink I've up-loaded and installed several different themes for 3 different WP installations so this is not my first acquaintance with WP themes.  I have unzipped the download file for 1.7 and have several files including a couple of text flies, two PDF files, and one additional zipped file.  I realize this zipped file is where the theme files, etc. are located.  However, with prior themes, do not recall there being a second zipped file, but merely a folder of files to upload to WP-Content.

The big question is whether I should up-load the zipped file or to unzip it first.  In other words, I would not want to co-mingle its contents with the files I have previously downloaded and are in a folder I've labeled "Privateer."  I suspect when un-zipped they will have their own folder but did not know how WP-contents will handle this. To express it another way, does WP-Content have the capacity to unzip files?

I'd appreciate someone providing a little guidance on this.

Many thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

No problem at all.

Since you can upload themes through the wordpress admin panel, I've started to include the privateer theme as a zip archive inside of the download ( privateer.zip ) so that those who prefer that method can use it.

If you wanted to upload the theme via ftp or such, then you can extract the privateer.zip archive and then upload the /privateer/ directory that it contains.

If you are comfortable uploading themes to the /wp-content/themes directory then extract the privateer.zip archive ( which is among the pdf files and such ) and upload the resulting /privateer/ directory to your /wp-content/ directory.

If you need a hand, just let me know.
