The following steps are only for those people, who could not install via the WordPress admin screen.<\/p>\n
Installing Using FTP:-<\/h3>\n
We will be using FileZilla<\/a> as our FTP client in this example, you can use any FTP software.<\/p>\nHere are the steps.<\/p>\n
\n- Extract the community-builder-x.y.z.zip. It should create a folder named “community-builder”.<\/li>\n
- Use FTP and connect to your server.<\/li>\n
- Navigate to the wp-content\/themes directory on your server like this
![\"ftp-select-remote-directory\"](\"https:\/\/buddydev.com\/docs\/files\/2016\/11\/ftp-select-remote-directory.png\")
<\/a><\/li>\n- Navigate to the directory containing unzipped community-builder directory. Here is an example.
![\"ftp-select-local-directory\"](\"https:\/\/buddydev.com\/docs\/files\/2016\/11\/ftp-select-local-directory.png\")
<\/a><\/li>\n- Right click on the community-builder. You will see a menu like this\u00a0
![\"ftp-upload\"](\"https:\/\/buddydev.com\/docs\/files\/2016\/11\/ftp-upload.png\")
<\/a><\/li>\n- Select Upload, and the theme will be uploaded to your themes directory.<\/li>\n
- Now, login to your WordPress dashboard and Click the Appearance Menu.<\/li>\n
- In the theme list, you will see the Community Builder theme. Activate it.<\/li>\n
- Once the theme is Active, Please click Appearance->Customize and you can start customizing your site.<\/li>\n
- Next step:-\u00a0Customizing Sites with Community Builder<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Note:-<\/h3>\n
Are you using Multisite?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- In case of multisite, the theme needs to be enabled from Network Admin->Themes screen before they will be available on your blogs.<\/li>\n
- Also, you will need to upload the theme from Network Admin->Themes ->Add New screen<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
