Theme Activating

To activate the new theme, move the cursor to the selected theme and click on the button “Activate”. The changes take effect immediately.

If you have made any changes in the styles of the current theme, when you activate a new theme, all your changes will be lost. To prevent this trouble, save the current theme before activating a new theme.

Theme Activated

Uploading Themes

You can upload to your server any number of themes. As much as you need.

Uploading Theme

1. To visit the repository of the STB themes, click “More Themes…” button.
2. Download to your computer as many files of STB Themes as you want.
3. Go to the STB Pro Themes Page and click button “Upload New Theme“. In opened window select any STB Pro Theme file (zip) and click Select. You can upload only one theme for one time.
4. After uploading all downloaded themes, select suitable theme and activate it.

Security

Security of downloading files is provided by the system of WordPress identification (nonces).

Nonces are generated using a key and salt that are unique to your site if you have installed WordPress correctly. The invalid nonce causes WordPress to send a “403 Forbidden” response to the browser, with the error message: “Are you sure you want to do this?”

Uploading files to the server can be made only from the Admin Side of your blog and only by admin of blog.

Saving Your Theme

If you made small changes of the current theme or changed it beyond recognition, we can say that you have created a new STB theme. To avoid losing your changes, or to share it with your friends, you need to save a modified theme.

If you want to share this theme with friends or place it in the STB themes repository, do not forget to prepare the cover image for your new theme.

Click “Save Current Theme” and fill fields in opened window.
