Installing WordPress Themes on Your Fingertips

Installing WordPress themes? No, I can’t do it! Of course you can! It is not a difficult task at all. WordPress themes are the latest and most widely sought after tools on the internet and more people by the day are using them. They are available free of cost and some premium themes are also available. Depending on your expertise and the revenue you want from your blogs, you can go either ways.

But first, after selection of the theme, you need to install it on your web server for everyone to see and experience a piece of your individuality and creative genius! Let us assure you, installing a WordPress theme is easier than installing other software application on your computer.

Installing WordPress

Before you even select the WordPress theme, you need to download the most recent WordPress Codex from the site. Most easy to install is from the.zip or the.rar files. Using suitable software, unzip the Codex installation files and install with the setup files.

On the web hosting server, you need to make a MySQL database. Preferably adding a user follows that.

After you have added the user, grant him administrative privileges, i.e. ensure that the user can make the necessary changes to the blog and use the settings to the fullest.

For installing WordPress, you need to make a directory (for your ease of use) on the web hosting server with a public HTML type view.

Add the desired file structure to the directory you just created on the web hosting server. The admin panel will help you achieve that.

You have to define all the permissions from the new earliest directory created to the latest created. By defining, we mean the access type should be mentioned. For individual use, make all the directories under the purview of the administrator.

You will find a file named wp_confi_sample.php. Rename this to wp_confi.php followed by opening the file and adding the desired username and other details. The renaming of the file is done to change the default configuration settings.

You can use any web browser of your choice. Open that and type the name of your desired website to initiate the launcher and finalize the WordPress installation.

Follow the instructions and you’re done.Installing a Theme

Check whether the installation files are pre-downloaded or have to be downloaded.

From the WordPress admin dashboard, under add new themes – select and add the desired theme. The already downloaded installation files will help you add the desired theme.

Upload the link of the theme on your server. Activate the theme and you’re ready to use the theme of your choice.The advantage of using free themes is that you can change the themes as and when desired. But make sure you keep the themes relevant to the blog posted.

If You Sell Products or Services Online You Need A Shopping Cart

The shopping cart is a vital part of any ecommerce site. A shopping cart allows your site visitors to browse your site, buy products or services and have a place to hold items while they continue to browse.

A shopping cart is a software application that gives your customer freedom to browse, to add or delete products from a virtual shopping cart and to see a running total of how much they have selected in dollar amount.

A shopping cart integrates with the rest of your site. A shopping cart may have links that allow the customer to search your site for specific items, see what is in their cart, even save their cart’s contents for later.

Shopping carts are designed in many programming languages. You can run a shopping cart on many different servers such as the Windows Web servers, Unix, and others. You can also place the shopping cart on your own web Server by transferring the files using any FTP program.

A shopping cart typically includes a database for storing information such as your product description; customer data, order information and can display this information for the customer on pages such as product detail page, checkout page, etc. Shopping carts also have an administration area where you can manage your store such as adding product, set up shipping and payment options, or process orders.

There are two parts or components to the shopping cart – the part that the customer sees, called the storefront and the administrative section where the owner manages the store. Features of a shopping cart will vary from one shopping cart company to another.

Basic features that most shopping carts should have are: A catalog of products, a search feature to locate items easily, a customer service area where customers can get help locating or buying products, special pages such as sales, featured products, a specific brands.

The administration section of the shopping cart is where the owner manages the store and should include general settings such as product, categories, currency, date format, language etc. and a module for creating and editing products, a place for managing product categories, and a section for managing options such as color or size. Another section that is important is the price setting and changing area. There also needs to be a module for managing orders such as those that need processing, those that are pending, and those that have shipped as well as a returns section.

Now that you know a little bit more about the shopping cart, you can understand just how important it is to have a shopping cart on your Website if you are selling products or services.
