I have just finished uploading the content of my wordpress site to google cloud. But I am now facing a huge limitation due to no I/O ability. I am posting this to see if anybody has devised a work-around.
I need to install Headway Themes and upload a package of buttons (Max Buttons Pro), I also have troubles with installing the s2member Pro edition.
Any workarounds for this?
Themes & Plugins have to be downloaded and extracted into you wordpress project folder and re-uploaded to appengine.
Typical workflow:
Download desired theme (Usually as a .zip file)
Extract the .zip file into wordpress/wp-content/themes (you will see default themes here...theres also a folder for plugins)
Upload your project to appengine (Don't worry this will not overwrite your data)
You will then see the themes or plugins show up on your wordpress dashboard.

So I have a wordpress theme I'm working on. When I deploy the theme to the server I pack it into a zip and upload using WP admin. Assuming this theme is already installed I expect an update to happen but WP treats it as new and proposes to activate the uploaded theme. What am I doing wrong?
Unfortunately, I have no (s)FTP or SSH access to the server.
It is worth mentioning that metadata in style.css is the same (hence theme name, author etc).
WP version is 6.0.2
Thanks in advance.
My website is www.rosstheexplorer.com.
I am fairly sure I have managed to corrupt / break my Penscratch Wordpress Theme.
When I try and load my website I am greeted with a white page.
Where can I redownload the Wordpress Penscratch theme files?
I have access to my file manager. I was hoping to be able to download the Penscratch php files and then upload them to my file manager.
A simeple google search for you theme suggests this url
https://en-gb.wordpress.org/themes/penscratch/
You can click on download button and get the files then backup old files and replace the whole folder with downloaded version of theme. You may need to unzip it before uploading via ftp or if using filemanager make sure you place files in correct folder and unzip them properly.
Thank you for peoples suggestions.
I used that site and it was what I needed. Although in the end I did not have to reupload the theme. I was able to correct my existing theme.

On a Wordpress site, I would like to make some files available for downloading, and some of these, I've just found out, cannot be added to the media library. Namely, it's not letting me upload a zipped folder, a Sketchup (.skp) file, and an HTML file.
If I want to make files available through a Wordpress site that Wordpress does not support, what are my options? Would it be possible to have a file stored elsewhere and still be downloadable through a link on the Wordpress site? I'm new to Wordpress, but (correct me if I'm wrong) Wordpress.com, where the site in question is hosted, does not seem to allow plugins.
Wordpress.com is essentially a blogging platform unlike wordpress.org where you can download the wordpress package and install it on a server.Most of blogging service providers wont allow you to upload files to there server due to security issue like Shells and software piracy.
It is better to host your files somewhere else and public link to your blog. Another solution is to buy a hosting account and install wordpress software, where you can upload and store files you need without any restriction.(According to providers usage policies)
I am trying to install a theme I downloaded from this website.
I am using XAMPP and I am not sure how to install this dowloaded theme using XAMPP.
I tried installing this theme with the zip folder (in zip format) in Wordpress but I get the error
” The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed. “
I found a similar on Wordpress website but they mentioned using FTP but I don’t know how to use FTP with XAMPP
I want to install the theme and test it out locally before I make it live or buy a domain name.
This is my first time doing this (I am a student) so I don’t totally know how things work together, don’t know if I am using the description/terms but I hope I described the problem well enough.
How to go about this? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
OK so its a bit weird that the theme you downloaded is missing the CSS file. When you upload it Wordpress is trying to find that file and failing. For now, let's assume that the creator of the theme put the CSS file in a different location than usual.
To install a theme manually via XAMPP do the following:
Locate XAMPP's htdocs folder. This is normally Applications>>XAMPP>>HTDOCs on Mac or My Computer>>C:>>XAMPP>>HTDOCs on Windows (I think - someone might need to correct me on that).
If your site is installed in a sud-directory in htdocs, go there. If not skip to next step.
Open the wp-content folder
Open the themes folder
Copy in your downloaded theme and extract it there (if its zipped)
Go to your Wordpress Dashboard and go to the Appearance button on the left and click Themes from the drop down. Find your newly installed theme and hit Activate.
That should do the trick unless your theme is missing some vital elements
(PS: what your are doing here - moving (theme) files from one location to another - is essentially the same as FTP. Difference is FTP allows you to transfer files accross the internet from computer to computer: say your computer to a web server hosting your site.)
Add this lines to your wp-config.php file
//** To add the direct installation of the themes **//
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
Then go to wp-admin and click on customize your site. Press on change button on the active theme and browse for your favorite theme from wordpress.org and install then enjoy

Recently I've changed the hosting. It's a WordPress blog. I copied the files through FTP, then exported the database from the old hosting via the WordPress admin panel and imported on the new hosting.
The blog sometimes loads an empty blank page, a fast load, without any error on the log files.
It is because i just copied the files and haven't installed a new wordpress before imported the database and files? I avoided this because I have lots of plugins installed with particular settings.
Any idea?
Here is the documentation for switching hosts with Wordpress. It has a step by step list of things to check.
