Can't activate lay theme because there is no "Upload Theme" button in WP
-
Hi
I've tried numerous ways to instal the laytheme on wordpress but the manual on the website seems to be outdated. When i log in to my wp the 'ad new' or 'upload theme' button isn't there (anymore). Also tried to upload the theme manualy via FTP (wp-contents folder > themes), but also doesn't work.
When searching on the internet about uploading your own theme to WP, it states that this isn't possible anymore (?)
I would very much like to use the theme, so hope someone can help me install it anywhays!

i think, you are on the wrong site. try this: yourwebsite.com/admin/ then you are in the wordpress overview. Click "Design" and then "Themes". There you can add the theme. Hope this works... best, mona

hey thomas!
You are using wordpress of wordpress.com but what you need is wordpress on wordpress.org.
Here http://laytheme.com/installation.html I wrote "Please don’t get WordPress hosting from wordpress.com. This is not compatible with Lay Theme."
Sorry! :/
