After you&#8217;ve followed our guide, you will become familiar with the entire process of changing and activating a new theme in WordPress.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress offers its users different methods for switching their currently installed template to a different one. Below we&#8217;ve listed the most common (used) ones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#wp-admin-panel\">via WordPress Admin Panel<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#phpmyadmin\">via phpMyAdmin<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let&#8217;s review each of these methods individually.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"wp-admin-panel\">\n<h3>Option #1: Changing a theme via WordPress Admin Panel<\/h3>\n<p>The installation process is very straightforward and easy to follow. In order to set up a new WordPress theme, please follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>Log in to the admin area of your WordPress site and navigate to <strong>Appearance<\/strong> &gt;&gt;&gt; <strong>Themes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a class=\"et_pb_lightbox_image\" title=\"change wordpress theme\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/change-wordpress-theme-1.png\" data-featherlight=\"image\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15434 aw-border-img\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/change-wordpress-theme-1.png\" alt=\"change wordpress theme 1\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>Click on the <strong>Add New<\/strong> button to proceed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a class=\"et_pb_lightbox_image\" title=\"change wordpress theme\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/change-wordpress-theme-2.png\" data-featherlight=\"image\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15434 aw-border-img\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/change-wordpress-theme-2.png\" alt=\"change wordpress theme 2\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>On the next page, you will be prompted to choose whether you wish to upload a theme from your local server or search the WordPress theme database for a suitable template.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Choose your preferred installation method or follow our <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/install-wordpress-theme\/\">How to Install WordPress Theme<\/a> guide for complete instructions on how to install a theme.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"et_pb_lightbox_image\" title=\"change wordpress theme\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/change-wordpress-theme-3.png\" data-featherlight=\"image\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15434 aw-border-img\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/change-wordpress-theme-3.png\" alt=\"change wordpress theme 3\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>After your chosen theme has been installed, you will need to activate it.

You were successful in changing your WordPress template.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"phpmyadmin\">\n<h3>Option #2: Changing a theme via phpMyAdmin<\/h3>\n<p>This type of method is a bit more complicated than the previous one since it requires both phpMyAdmin and FTP server access.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>Connect to your server via FTP using either our File Manager or your FTP client program.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you&#8217;re unsure what settings to use, please follow our <a href=\"\/kb\/ftp-connection-settings\/\">FTP Connection Settings<\/a> complete guide on how to establish a connection to your AwardSpace FTP server.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>Navigate to the <strong><em>\/wp-content\/themes\/<\/em><\/strong> directory and extract the contents of your theme file in it.

Once you are in the editor, you will be able to see the name of the database pretty clearly.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"et_pb_lightbox_image\" title=\"change wordpress theme\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/change-wordpress-theme-7.png\" data-featherlight=\"image\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15434 aw-border-img\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/change-wordpress-theme-7.png\" alt=\"change wordpress theme 7\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>Log into your database using our built-in <a href=\"https:\/\/supportindeed.com\/phpMyAdmin4\/\">phpMyAdmin<\/a> tool or click on the <strong>phpMyAdmin 4<\/strong> icon right next to your database in order to get access to your MySQL server.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>After a successful login, locate the table called <strong><em>wp-options<\/em><\/strong>.
