 * When I try to install a new them from Appearance I am asked to give “Connection
   Information” consisting of hostname, username and password.
    When I click Proceed
   I get the answer: Username/Password incorrect.
 * What is the problem and how do I correct it?

 * Sounds like an issue with your host. Contact them and make sure they meet the

 * Thanks,
    I solved the problem. Instead of the domainname of the host I wrote 
   the IP address. It worked. My fault I suppose. You learn something every day.
