Hello, how can we help you?

Once you have installed WordPress (see details here) and logged in to admin panel, you can install Oakland theme.

To upload Oakland theme to your server via FTP, you need to unzip and acopy all the files from “Oakland” folder to wp-content/themes/oakland directly on the server (use only lower case letters!). Thereafter Oakland theme will be available for activation in WP admin panel: Appearance/Themes. Again, you can activate it by clicking “Activate”.
Before activation turn all your plugins off – they may affect. We don’t guarantee compatibility with additional plugins.

If you’d like to update theme, just replace some files (find them first at the server) using files from the folder with fixes. Don’t use folder with fixes as a theme folder. The details usually described in “README” file.

For correct functionality, please, make sure the following folders have the “777” access settings:

/wp-content/themes/oakland/images/cache  
/wp-content/themes/oakland/images/social_icons 
/wp-content/themes/oakland/images/theme_icons 

And also you’ll have to create a new folder with “777” settings:
/wp-content/uploads

You can do it via your FTP client. Open a drop-down menu by clicking the right mouse on one of the folders, specified above. Choose there “access rights” (or maybe something similar) and make changes. Also apply this for the subfolders and nested files.

Please, don’t set the “777” permission rights to whole “oakland” folder for security reasons.
