WordPress 2.8 — Finding and Installing Themes

June 21st, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

If you have tried searching for themes in the WordPress database, you’ll know it can be a bit frustrating…not the best search features in the world. Fortunately, if you are searching for themes in the new themes upload directory in WordPress 2.8, you can simply leave the search field empty and browse all 850, or so, themes directly in your admin area. Not ideal, but it actually doesn’t take long to scan the 34±, pages of thumbnails to see if any capture your interest.

    bei plugins kann ich die funktion ja verstehen, aber bei den themes find ich sie unnütz. hab auch die update prüfung bei mir abgeschalten. wer ändert schon immer sein theme?

    @Markus: Not many people will frequently change their themes, but having the auto-installer makes it a lot easier for many to install a theme. It’s difficult for some people to understand FTP, so this keeps them from having to download, unzip, and FTP themes to their sites. I think it’s a good feature for a lot of bloggers that don’t want to mess with the technical stuff.
