# Theme Installation Stalling! Help!

 * I just downloaded the theme prestige onto my computer from the site themeforest.
   com and when I try to upload it to wordpress it doesn’t work. I will choose the.
   zip file, press install now, and then wait……and wait…..and wait. The loading 
   bar never moves and it never installs! It will just sit there and never install.
   One time I pressed the install button, left for 2 hours, and it was still in 
   the same spot! What can I do and what should I do? I paid $35 for this theme 
   and I don’t want it to go to waste! Please help!

 * [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) into your site (or use whatever
   file management application your host provides) and upload the **unzipped** theme
   folder to wp-content/themes.

 * Did you ever get it to work?
 * I’m having the same problem with Prestige, and could just cry I’m so frustrated.
   🙁
