This is a series of step-by-step WordPress Tutorials. In this video, you will learn How to Install a WordPress Theme. When creating your website, the theme helps you create the look & feel of your website. You will find many free themes in WordPress as well as premium themes that provide much more flexibility in terms of customization. 

In the previous video, I walked you through the WordPress user-interface and showed you various sections to help you set up your website. The next step, after you set up your website, is to install a theme that will help you design your website In order to make it unique. When we first installed WordPress and set up the website, it automatically installed the TwentySixteen theme. 

This is a basic theme and won’t provide you much or options in terms of the design, so you may have to look for another suitable theme within WordPress. Like I mentioned earlier, you will find many good themes for free, which will suffice for you needs. If not, you will have to buy a premium theme. 

In this tutorial, I will show you how to install a free WordPress theme as well as a premium theme. When you purchase a premium theme, in most cases, you will receive it as a zipped folder along with a license key. Once you upload your theme, you can customize it in order to make it unique. 

Installing themes and customizing them is managed under the APPEARANCE section in the main WordPress dashboard. In the next video, in the WordPress Training Video Series, I will show you How to Customize WordPress Themes. You can check the link below for a list of all my WordPress Video Tutorials.
