How to upload Genesis to Wordpress
 

Hi, I am new to the whole world of wordpress and studio press, and I tried to follow the tutorial (video) as well as pdf guide, but when I open my downloaded Genesis file it has so many folders and looks very different from the genesis.1.8.1zip from the TV tutorial.
Which of the many files do I have to actually open in wordpress appearance theme download menu to install genesis. Thankful for all the help I can get.

You need to rezip the genesis folder then install that in Appearance=>Themes. Alternatively you can upload the unzipped folder to the .../wp-content/themes/ directory in your server with an FTP client or your host's file manager.

How would a re-zip the file? Thanks.

If you're running OSX you can right click on the folder and then select "Compress...". Not sure about Windows.

Thanks, I used FTP and it worked great.

You're welcome
