How to install theme in WordPress

WordPress allows users to change the appearance of their site as they wish. This is possible by using WordPress themes. Fortunately, due to the popularity of WordPress, there are many theme and plugins for this content management system, many of which are free and others are for sale.

Note that most of the theme are in English and need to be translated into Persian.

There are many websites in Farsi language that sell Persianized and right folded theme and sometimes they provide them for free. But according to my experience in the field of working with customers who have already purchased their theme, they have faced the problem that they usually have wrong translations and unprincipled manipulations. So be sure to choose the desired theme carefully.

In general, two methods can be used to install WordPress theme:

  1. Download skins from theme production sources and upload them to the host
  2. Install the theme directly from WordPress

 

Installing the theme directly from WordPress:

You should note that this method is usually of little use for Persian language users, because the theme in the WordPress repository are all in English and left-handed, so it is not useful for Persian language websites. But if you have the ability to edit, you can get the desired theme and edit it according to your taste.
