  • Hey rooster1969 You should check your ftp account in your Dreamhost account. If dreamhost use cPanel, Another was is you upload this zip files to your site directory, and extract it there, so you are ready to install ??

    I have the same issue here. I don’t understand what FTP has to do with this? When I upload the theme ZIP file I can see it appear in the file system when I log in to a shell. Why does it want to invoke an FTP service? It doesn’t make sense. The file is right there on the server, no need for FTP.

    I run my own servers and I do not run an FTP service. How do you upload a theme without being forced to go through an FTP upload afterwards?

    Another thing I noticed with this is when I do upload a theme zip file I can see on my dashboard that I’ve used 13% of my default 10Mb of space. However, I can not see the file anywhere in the admin back-end. I would expect it to appear in the Media library. When I delete it manually from the file system the usage goes back down to 0%. What’s going on with this?

    Any help much appreciated.

    You can also upload the themes without using ftp, just in wp-contents-themes then hit upload your theme and extract it
