How to install new Drupal themes?

Drupal keeps its skins in the themes subfolder. To install additional themes, you can get the archived theme from the SiteGround Drupal themes gallery and extract the files to the 'themes' subfolder. This can be done through cPanel -> File Manager.

  • Download the theme to your PC.
  • Open your CPanel, and click on the File Manager icon.
  • Using the File Manager, please navigate to your Drupal installation directory. Open the themes folder and click on Upload file(s).
  • 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 .tar.gz or .zip) and double-click on it.
  • Click on the Upload button and wait for a minute until the theme is uploaded. Click on the newly uploaded archive file and choose extract file contents.

Well done! You have successfully uploaded the new theme on your Drupal system. You should now be able to see the theme at your Drupal Administration Area -> Administer -> Site building -> Themes.
