Installation...?

General Installation

1. Upload the ClassiPress theme folder via FTP to your /wp-content/themes/ directory.

===
Umm after trying to install the plugin like any plugin, it didnt work... so I opened up the zip, found the read me, and reading ^^^ those instructions...

Well the zip contains PSDS, PLUGINS, and CLASSIPRESS
None of which that I could find contain a themes directory..

Didnt think I'd get stuck at step one... Any help?

Re: Installation...?

Well I assume the themes are located here: classipress-2.9.2-single\classipress\styles yet they still dont seem to install properly when placed into the themes directory

"3. CHMOD the directory “cache” on your server to 777 (not always required on all servers). This sets the folders permissions to be writable. (CHMOD help)"

Which directory is this to be placed into? Since there is no cache folder... is one to be created?
Only one I see is in the classipress-2.9.2-single\classipress folder , yet the instructions dont even say to upload anything in the "classipress-2.9.2-single\classipress" folder... which is why this most likely isn't working

"A new menu called “ClassiPress” will now be visible at the bottom left column. " - Nope
I tried copying the classipress folder into the plugins folder... no luck, tried to install plugin of zip fersion of classipress... still no luck...

How am I stuck at the basics... all the others install fine besides the main app...

Lil Help?

Re: Installation...?

ug ok,NM... think I got it now.. I uploaded the entire "classipress" folder into the ftp themes folder...(needs to be a little more clear) hey its late, what do you expect

Re: Installation...?

In a standard, default, WP install you'll have a themes and a plugins folder.
Technically if you cannot work these out then you're going to have much bigger problems to contend with.

BUT, yes, I see what you mean although I will stick by what I said above.

Re: Installation...?

True, but instructions need to be more clear step by step in any software..

Step 1 just needs to be changed from
1. Upload the ClassiPress theme folder via FTP to your /wp-content/themes/ directory.
