CMS: A journey into the unknown

K so I talked to Josh today and he showed me how to upload a theme. It was actually shown in the screenshot he sent us but none of us caught it.

Ok so when you’re in cyberduck and connecting to the server you must click the more options button like so:

then it should show this:

So then all you got to do is type in where it says “path”: /home/jmsunlv08/webapps/”yourname”/wp-content

“path” is the path of folders you need to get through in order to gain access to where the word press sites are held.

For another example here is one of the screen shots from Josh demonstrating the filepath on Stephanie’s account:

Notice how Josh’s is a little different from mine, but all you need to do enter the correct username, password, server (your domain name with out the http://www. prefix) and  path (/home/jms08/webapps/”yourname”/wp-content) and you should be able to upload themes and plugins to your wordpress.

Once you connect to the server Cyberduck should display this:

So if you want to add a theme to your wordpress just go to http://themes.wordpress.net/, download a theme, uncompress it, and drag the folder into the “themes” folder shown in cyberduck. shown above, and it should show up as an optional theme in the “presentation” section of your wordpress blog.

Now it is time for sleep.
