Question: How do I change the WordPress theme to a theme not on the WordPress Site?
I’ve had Blogger for a while and am just switching to WordPress.
I do not want to chose one of the themes WordPress has one their site. I searched on Google “free wordpress templates/layouts/themes” and I’ve found some that I’d like to use for my blog. When I click download, it downloads a zip file onto my PC. How do I get that onto my WordPress so that it becomes my WordPress template?
I found Blogger very intuitive with this, but WordPress is confusing me a tad.
Thank you so much!

To upload a WordPress theme, log in to your Dashboard and to go Appearance > Themes. Next, click the “Install” tab at the top of the page. Then, click the “Upload” text link, which is located directly below the “Manage Themes” tab. Click the “Choose File” button, find your theme zip file, and click the “Install Now” button.
Once the theme has been uploaded, click the “Activate” text link and you’re done!
Question: WordPress plugins MISSING (old theme NOT working) Help?
Recently I (accidentally) deleted the theme I was currently using in my ftp client.
I re-uploaded the same theme (sans the few modifications I had made previously) to my ftp client under “/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes” like normal, but when I go into my wordpress admin panel, ALL of my plugins are GONE.
And when I activate my theme, nothing shows up but the theme alone. No posts, no nothing. I just get this error message in the sidebar:
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_useronline() in /home/meredith/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/Minimalistic/sidebar.php on line 8″
And frankly, I don’t understand what it means.
So I did a restore with a back-up I had downloaded earlier that day, but still nothing is right again.
I tried downloading and uploading my old plugins to my ftp, but when I go to my admin panel, they still don’t show up. I’ve tried uploading them directly to my wordpress admin panel and there’s still nothing.
I just want to know how to fix my old plugins and maybe get my old them back.
Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks.

Hiya .. this sounds so similar to a theme not working with the current version but if it was working prior to you deleting and you haven’t done any upgrading or downgrading of the WordPress version or “User online” plugin then it shouldnt happen. 
To see if the plugins are actually gone though – kick it back to the default “ugly” wordpress theme that comes with wordpress and see if the plugins come back (you might have to “rename” that theme folder via FTP to do that if its not available in the WordPress admin area) – if the plugins and content come back, its something to do with that theme.
If it’s to do with the get_useronline error – then rename the plugin folder that belongs to that error (most like usersonline) to disable the plugin temporarily to see if that is the problem.
* Else perhaps that particular plugin needs to be “uploaded” to the plugins directory because its part of the theme..
* Else perhaps its code in the theme calling that function, in which case, defaulting back to the boring WordPress theme temporarily will answer that question for you too.
Aside from this happening several times with new themes and WP upgrades for myself, I don’t know what else to suggest aside from reinstalling the core files on WordPress which you should not need to do if all you did was delete the theme.
Question: Where can I find a tutorial for creating wordpress theme 3.0 from scratch?
I want to create a new wordpress 3.0 theme but I can’t seem to find a nice good tutorial. I only end up finding “how to enable wordpress 3.0 for your theme” but I don’t want that. I want something from zero. Could you help me?
I don’t want any 2.x tutorials. Only WordPress 3.0.
I really can’t believe only one man in the whole Yahoo! world could answer me.

That theme is called Zeke and they are running version 1.0 of it. Be aware though they have made some custom changes to the theme.
In the future you can work this out yourself by visiting the website, clicking on view > view source and looking for a line of code near the top that looks like this-
http://www.musicbyday.com/wp-content/themes/Zeke10/style.css” type=”text/css”
Pay attention to the bit that says- /wp-content/themes/Zeke10
Thats how we know they are using the Zeke theme

You need to replace the following image:
wp-content/ themes/ reflections/ images/ title_trans.png
With a PNG image that contains the text you want to have displayed in its place.
Alternatively, you can look in the header.php file of the theme for the line of code that begins with this:
And remove the image tag, that begins like this:
and replace it with the text you would like to have appear.
