You not need to do any of this if you use a free theme from WordPress
I'm going to assume that you already have your zip file. You do not need an unzipped theme folder. Go to WordPress, go to the WordPress dashboard, and then your left-hand sidebar: you go to appearance then you go to themes and then you go to add new theme.
Then, you have the list of all the themes you can use but you don't want to do that you want to go to the top very top and click “Upload Theme” then you go to “choose file” then you want to go to whatever theme you used and then click install now. Then it takes you to a different page it says installing theme from uploaded file name of the file unpacking the package installing the theme this theme requires a parent theme checking if it is installed parent theme is installed currently installed theme installed successfully then you can do a live preview.
The live preview shows you what your website would look like and lets you change basic things like the color scheme.
That is the first episode of not another WordPress podcast thank you for listening have a nice day bye
