Drupal Tutorial - Managing Drupal's Theme

Install a new Drupal Theme

 

Drupal keeps its visual styles in the themes subfolder. To install additional themes, you can get the archived theme from the Drupal official website and extract the files to the 'themes' subfolder. This can be done through cPanel -> File Manager or via FTP.

 

1. Download the theme to your PC.

2. Open your CPanel, and click on the File Manager icon.

3. Using the File Manager, please navigate to your Drupal installation directory. Open the themes folder and click on [Upload file(s)].

4. Now click [Browse]: you will be presented with a filelist from your local PC. Find the theme you have just downloaded (the filename should end with .gz or .zip) and double-click it.

5. Click the [Upload] button and wait for a minute until the theme is uploaded. Click on the newly uploaded tar.gz file and choose “Extract file contents”.

 

Well done! You have successfully uploaded the new theme on your Drupal system. It is now avaialble for use.
