Hello Team,

So I uploaded the theme via WP (big mistake) and have since gone back and performed the manual setup from the 4 step documentation from this site (thanks!). So now I'm set up and of course the widget settings and pictures didn't import to my website. I'd hope to have that visual to customize. I can follow the path of the missing photos and locate them (on local machine) which is tedious. So now my questions--

1. Can I upload the photos from my local machine via FTP to the already existing folders? If so, how/where? The quickstart has a bunch of stuff and I'm confused as to what folder to import (multiple "image" folders in quickstart). --or--

2. Is it easier to simply delete the theme I've already uploaded and start from scratch? If so, how do I delete a theme in WP dashboard.. or.. if I FTP via Filezilla what folders do I delete? Also, do I have to delete the database (myphpadmin) if I take this course of action? --or--

3. Maybe the easiest solution is to create a subdomain, fresh quickstart install (which will then include all the content), then link subdomain to menu of another site I'm working? I think this option is easiest but I had issues with the Quickstart Instructions http://www.gavick.com/documentation/wordpress-themes/wp-qucikstart-package/wordpress-quickstart-installation/..

Upload all the files and folders inside the extracted quickstart folder to your preferred install location on your host’s server via FTP; this could be the server root, or to a subdirectory if WordPress is not intended to be the main frontpage of your site.


is public_html/www my root? Sorry for the loaded question :shock:
