 * Hi,,
 * I’ve just started to use WordPress and I have a problem.
    I uploaded the following
   theme: [http://cms.template-help.com/wordpress_32642/](http://cms.template-help.com/wordpress_32642/)
 * I uploaded this first using the following instructions:
    _“To make your WordPress
   look like our live demo please, follow the instructions bellow._
 * 1. Please, copy the folder with the theme to /wp-content/themes/ folder.
 * 2. Then, copy and unzip files from the folder “plugins” to the /wp-content/plugins/
   folder.
 * 3. Copy “uploads” folder to /wp-content folder.
 * 4. “Open the themeXXXX.sql file that is located in sources folder with any text
   editor and replace all instances of “your_website_url_here” to your website URL
   in the entire document using Find and Replace tool (usually Ctrl+H hot key).
   
   E.g.: [http://www.mywebsite.com](http://www.mywebsite.com) Please, make sure 
   that you do not have the forward slash “/” sign in the end of the address. Save
   and close the file.””
 * BECAUSE THIS DIDN’T APPEAR CORRECTLY I TRIED UPLOADING AND INSTALLING A ZIP FILE
   OF THE THEME BUT IT’S STILL NOT APPEARING CORRECTLY.
 * You can see how it’s appearing here: [http://www.smartbiz.ie](http://www.smartbiz.ie)
 * **IF ANYBODY COULD GIVE ME ANY ADVICE IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!**
 * It seems to me that it’s a CSS issue maybe??

 * I’d actually strongly suggest you ditch that theme – that vendor does not comply
   with the GPL requirements of WP – [http://wordpress.org/about/license/](http://wordpress.org/about/license/)
   so we cannot support that theme at all here.
 * This article explains a bit more about why you should avoid non-GPL themes: [http://www.chipbennett.net/2010/12/10/only-download-wordpress-themes-from-trusted-sources/](http://www.chipbennett.net/2010/12/10/only-download-wordpress-themes-from-trusted-sources/)

 * Thanks for the advice!
 * Unfortunately I’ve paid money for this theme(too much) and I’m reluctant to discard
   the theme.. Is there any way at all I could find the problem??
 * Or is it possible to get a theme that is similar to this for free??

 * Have you asked [your theme’s vendors](http://cms.template-help.com/wordpress_32642/?page_id=28)
   for support?
