I mean WP's instr. Using your directions was SO much easier. Only one thing, the templates are all in the right folder, but when I try to change from one theme to another to see what they will untimately look like, it just stays on the same "not all there" one I have currently chosen (Blue Wonder 10). I don't like the header picture though, so maybe it is providence at work? :) Right now, none of the pictures for the blog template are showing. ::: big sigh::: Anyway, thanks again for your great helpful blog here Chris. It is much appreciated. Dry as toast would be my observation. I mean WP’s instr. Using your directions was SO much easier.

If you use things like Optimal title or Top Commentators you will have to re-insert the line of code into the new theme, although hopefully if you've done that once, you should remember to do it again! This post was prompted by a posting I saw in a forum from somebody who had just installed Wordpress & didn't know how to change themes. The official instructions are clear enough, but a little 'dry'.

I know that I am currently using the plugin wp-notable for social networking bookmarking (although i'm tempted to take that out and just put in a stumble button and a digg button). When I install a new theme I'll have to go edit the theme to reactivate several of my plugins Chris,

It's not essential to deactivate plugins before changing themes, but they are often the cause of any errors you get. GC, IE7 still has it's moments :evil: Thanks everyone: BTW this is about installing Wordpress Themes – not Wordpress itself which I blogged about here.

There's always a small chance of messing things up. Sometimes people forget to deactivate their plugins before installing. There’s always a small chance of messing things up.
