We’re done in configuring SmartFtp as our ftp client. What is our next step? We are going to upload our created or downloaded theme to use in our blog site.
This should be easy, just follow the instructions carefully.
1. Double click on the sign 
and the “+” should be “-” to see the dropdown list or expanded list of directories such as: cgi-bin, wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes.
2. We will be focusing on wp-content. here is where you will see your directories such as: plugins, themes and upload directory.
3. If you want to upload a theme, drag the folder of your chosen theme; the one that you’ve downloaded or created into the wp-content>themes folder. Or you can right click on the themes folder then choose upload and choose the folder of the selected theme. In anyways, the outcome would be the same.
4. If you plan on uploading your WordPress plugin, this where you’ll be goin to upload it: wp-content>plugins. Drag it or upload it, it works the same. but here in plugins directory, you should only upload the excat folder with its contents in able for it to work.
We are done in uploading our wordpress theme and plugin.
The Next step will be, using the theme on our blog.
1. login to your wordpress admin area. type on your browser you.host.com/wp-admin but of course your own login information.
2. Once you have accessed your admin area and landed on your dashboard, look for the tab with Design, click on it and see your uploaded theme on the list below, click on your selected theme then visit your site to see the effect. That’s it for themes.
And Now for the Plugins part.
1. On your dashboard, look for Plugins and click on it to open the Plugins Management page.
2. You will see the a list of plugins here that includes Akismet and Hello Dolly which is available upon wordpress installation.
3. If you have already uploaded your plugins using smartftp client or ftp client, you will see the name of that plugin in the Plugins Management Table. Now it is up to you to activate or deactivate it.
*A plugin’s effect varies on what kind of plugin you will be using, just be smart in selecting your theme.*
