Hi there,

I have installed wordpress with no issues, however I am trying to install a theme via a .zip file, and when I try to do it it shows the following error:
Unable to create directory /www/zzl.org/b/a/r/barratest/htdocs/blog/wp-content/uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

Am I able to install through FTP?

I am installing the "weaver" theme.

Thanks!

Penny

You have to unzip the folder into the wp-content/themes directory. Then you can activate the new theme in your dashboard via Appearance -> Themes.
