Step 1: Back up your site. Make sure you have a full site backup in place. If something goes wrong, you’ll have a clean restore point to work from. Step 2: Navigate to Your WordPress Themes Section. Go to Appearance > Themes within WordPress and click Add New. Step 3: Install Your WordPress Theme. To choose from the thousands of free themes that are available, simply search for one using the drop-down menus on the Add Themes page. If you’ve bought a premium theme, you’ll be provided with a ZIP file. This can be installed by using the Upload Theme link on the same page, and then using the Choose File dialog to locate the file. Step 4: Activate Your New WordPress Theme. For premium themes, you’ll usually see an activation link on a confirmation screen after the installation process is complete. If not, you can view all of your currently installed themes by heading back to the Appearance > Themes screen. To apply a new one, simply hover over it and click on the Activate button. Once that’s finished, you can check out your new theme on the front end of your site!
