   Good to hear you’ll be starting another website!

   To move a wordpress theme, simply use your FTP program to copy the directory that contains your theme (it’s located inside the themes directory under wp-content) to your personal computer.

   Then, go to the new site, and FTP your local copy (the theme directory you just copied to your PC) to the theme directory located on the new site.

   That should be all there is to it.

   Best regards,

   Jim.

   Jim,
   In the FTP program UnlimitedFTP there is no copy function. I used unlimitedFTP to download the wp-content folder to my desktop and then FTPing the folder back up and to the folder on my webhost containing my second site(CO2).

   I’ve tried to think of any logical next step to figure out what to do next. I was hoping that if I got into my current site using wordpress there would be some sort of choice or question, but no such luck. So now what do I do? So far what I have is the wp-content folder in the root of my second site.

   Thanks Jim,

   Roger

   Once you have the WordPress (I want to keep saying WordPerfect (5.1 was my favorite)) files uploaded to the directory on your server, you’ll then modify the wp-config.php to use the new prefix.

   Look for this line:
   $table_prefix = …..

   and change it to:

   $table_prefix = ‘CO2_’;

   note: you may need to do this before you upload depending on your situation.

   Regards,

   Jim.

   Jim,
   I uploaded into the file ("directory") for the second site (which has a completely separate domain name) the wp-content file which contains the theme file which contains the theme I want to use. I just can’t find the wp-config.php file you’re talking about.

   Thanks Jim,

   Roger

   It may be wp-config-sample.php, which you use to create your wp-config.php file. You can copy that sample file to your computer, modify it, rename it and upload it – or – edit it on the server and then save it out as wp-config.php.

   Regards,

   Jim.

   I can’t find any file having "config" in the name. Would you give me the path?

   Thanks,

   Hi Roger,

   It should be in the same directory as your .htaccess file.

   There should also be a wp-cron.php and wp-feed.php file in the same directory.

   I can give you the path because I’m not sure how your server is setup.

   Look for those other files and you’ll find the directory.

   Regards,

   Jim.
