I have doubt in using the wordpress theme. I had downloaded a wordpress theme for my website from wordpress.org. I need to know how do i test it. The theme name is "pagelines". When i run it on my server it shows me webpage not found. How will i be able to test it out.
Please help....
First of all you need to unzip the theme file you have downloaded and place in your themes folder then go to admin panel
admin ->appearance -> Themes
there the themes will be displayed
you can view the new theme here and activate the theme
now your theme will be enabled on your wordpress, you can check your home page
Have you read the Wordpress' Using Themes guide? Read this guide first http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes. It will clarify a lot of your questions.

Theme and Templates are not the same.
If you download a Theme from Wordpress Theme's Repo Then you will be able to simply unzip the file in the /themes/directory and activate it within the WP-Admin Dashboard.
A Template is simply a post or page template which is within a given theme.
The directory of a theme can vary but it could be located within the root of the theme or within a common /template/ directory.
Sorry if this does not help!
I've recently purchased a WordPress theme from themeforest, how can I get the actual view or same layout that I've seen on the "Live Preview" page at themeforest. Any help would be appreciated.
When you purchase a theme from Themeforest you also get a documentation download that provides straightforward instructions for using your theme within WordPress. If you did not download the docs then you should do so...
which theme you have purchased ?
You can find mysql database inside the folder import that database in your db and put all the file in wordpress root directory.
I'm not a WordPress expert here but I got a account and a preminum version with a template but I want to download the entire directory so I can modify php files, styles etc.
How do I do this and also how do I upload it to the wordpress site itself since it's live.
Thanks
Unfortunately, you cannot do that on wordpress.com site.
But you can edit some files from within your wordpress admin panel editor.
I am new in wordpress. I am trying to build multisite using single wordpress installation. In that how I can change theme of every site? Please give me some idea.
Once you setup your multisite, you will see a new menu option where all your sites are listed. You can change such settings from there. Here is a screenshot

To change themes you can check Themes section here

I want to enable a promo-code input box for the Shopp plugin on wordpress.
The documentation says that to get the promo box to show up I need to add the following PHP to the template file:
<?php shopp('cart','promo-code'); ?>
I am new to the wordpress CMS and do not know which template file this this should be added to / where to look. If anyone has done this I would really appreciate the details of where to add this PHP to enable the feature. All the tutorials focus on creating the promotions in the cpanel but do not cover turning on the promo input box with PHP.
Thank you.
This is a Theme API tag that is usually added to the shopping cart template file. When custom templates are setup in your theme the file is located somewheres around wp-content/themes/yourtheme/shopp/cart.php. Note that yourtheme represents the directory name of your active WordPress theme files.
Shopp has starter templates built in that you can copy to your theme files. Editing the template files in the Shopp plugin is not recommended because you will lose your changes with each upgrade.
You can copy the files from Shopp to your theme yourself, or you can use the built-in system for copying them. More information about these templates and how to install them into your theme for customization can be found in the Shopp User Guide documentation in the Theme Templates article.
