 * Hi all,
    Please help! I have just migrated from my previous registrar to Godaddy
   and have problem with Theme installation. In my previous registrar, my themes
   were uploaded in /home/<username>/public_html/wp-content/themes
 * This is the default directory when I go to wp-admin, click on Install theme.
 * However, in Godaddy, the theme directory is no longer /home/<username>/public_html
   etc. Therefore whenever I try to upload a new theme, it will have an error saying
   Unable to create directory /home/<username>/public_html… How and where can I 
   change this root directory so that my themes can be installed properly? Please
   help! Thank you!
