template and plugin upload

[ayomatt]

I can't seem to use the extension manager to upload a template successfully. May be it has to do with the version of the joomla. Version 1.7 or what do you feel might be wrong. Tks

Check the version of the joomla you installed and check the extention.

There seems to be some templates that can serve multiple versions.

[Perfect Visual]

Yes, there are, normally the author will list the versions that his/hers Template or extentions support.
Once your own version is listed, then it will work for your project.

Its really funny. Its suppose to be easy but I can't still get it done I hope there are no other process involved

Let go step by step.
Go to Extention manager, when it opens,
go to click Browse to locate the extention you downloaded
Click Uploade & Install to install it.

If it extension you installed, go to Module manager, look for the extention name, tick it and at the top click publish or  If the extention(depends on the what the extension does) has some features to add eg picture, special effect, click on it to add the necessary things, after that check Publish (under status) and click save to have start working.

If it is template go Template manage, tick the new template and at the top of the left side click Make default. That is all.
Go to your site and refresh it will be showing.
