Changing Wordpress Styles to Themes
The new version of Wordpress has many improvements including the new Themes structure. You can completely customize the appearence of your blog including the templates and switch between them with a click.
But the new theme structure doesn’t work with the old styles. To change an “style” to a theme, upload the style folder into the theme directory and open the style.css in a text editor. Insert the following template at the top and fill in the information.
/*
Theme Name: Rose
Theme URI: the-theme's-homepage
Description: a-brief-description
Author: your-name
Author URI: your-URI
Template: classic
Version: a-number--optional
.
General comments/License Statement if any.
.
*/
The important part is telling it to use the classic templates. Go to “Presentation” and select your theme and you back to normal.
A theme switcher is also available. Just drop it in the plugins directory and activate. Put <?php wp_theme_switcher()?> wherever you want the list to show up and you’re done.
