Antes de instalar un tema de WordPress
Instalar un tema de WordPress es fácil, pero tenga en cuenta que si activa un tema nuevo, cambiará el aspecto y el funcionamiento de su sitio web de WordPress.
Si va a cambiar de un tema existente, entonces es posible que desee ver nuestra lista de cosas que hay que hacer antes de cambiar temas de WordPress.

Si no te gusta el vídeo o necesitas más instrucciones, sigue leyendo. Simplemente haga clic en los enlaces de abajo para saltar a la sección que necesite:
Método 1: Instalar un tema usando la búsqueda de temas del administrador de WordPress
Si desea instalar un tema de WordPress gratuito del directorio de temas de WordPress.org, puede explorar este directorio desde su escritorio de WordPress.
Para ello, acceda a su área de administrador de WordPress. A continuación, visite la página Apariencia ” Temas y haga clic en el botón “Añadir nuevo” situado en la esquina superior derecha.
En la pantalla siguiente, puede elegir entre: Populares, Últimos o Favoritos.
Si ya conoce el tema que desea utilizar, escriba su nombre en el campo “Buscar temas…”.
Al hacer clic en “Filtro de características” podrá ordenar los temas en función de distintas características.
Puede ordenar los temas por tema, características específicas y disposición.
En función de tu búsqueda, verás un anuncio / catálogo / ficha de temas que cumplen tus criterios. En nuestro caso, hemos buscado el popular tema Astra.
Cuando veas el tema que quieres instalar, simplemente pasa el cursor sobre su imagen. Aparecerán los botones “Instalar”, “Vista previa” y “Detalles y vista previa”.
Sigue adelante y haz clic en el botón “Instalar”.
WordPress instalará su tema.
Cuando su tema esté listo, WordPress mostrará un mensaje de correcto.
WordPress también mostrará los botones ‘Activar’ y ‘Vista previa en vivo’.
Para empezar a utilizar este tema en tu sitio web de WordPress, haz clic en el botón “Activar”. Ya has instalado y activado correctamente tu tema de WordPress.
Si visitas tu sitio, ahora utilizará este nuevo tema.
Algunos temas tienen ajustes adicionales que puede que tenga que configurar.
Por ejemplo, su tema puede pedirle que instale algunos plugins imprescindibles de WordPress, que descargue datos de demostración o que establezca sus ajustes.
Puedes seguir las instrucciones que aparecen en pantalla. Como puedes ver, el tema Astra añade una sección de “Opciones Astra”.
También puede editar su tema utilizando el Personalizador de temas integrado de WordPress.
Para ello, debe seleccionar Apariencia ” Personalizar.
Para más detalles, consulte nuestras guías sobre cómo utilizar el Personalizador de temas de WordPress como un profesional.
Si estás usando un tema de bloque de WordPress, entonces necesitarás ir a Apariencia ” Editor en su lugar. Esto iniciará el editor completo del sitio, lo que le permite editar las plantillas de página de su tema y las partes de la plantilla.
Para más detalles, consulte nuestra guía sobre cómo utilizar la edición completa del sitio de WordPress.
Método 2: Instalar un tema usando el método de subida desde el administrador de WordPress
El primer método que hemos cubierto solo le permite instalar temas gratuitos que están disponibles en el directorio de temas de WordPress.org.
¿Qué pasa si quieres instalar un tema de WordPress premium de empresas como StudioPress, Elegant Themes o Themify?
¿Y si quieres instalar un tema personalizado? En este caso, tendrías que instalar el tema subiéndolo a tu cuenta de WordPress.
Comienza descargando el archivo .zip del tema que has comprado en un mercado o en una tienda de temas comerciales.
A continuación, diríjase a la página Apariencia ” Temas en su área de administrador de WordPress y haga clic en el botón “Añadir nuevo” en la parte superior.
Esto le llevará a la página Añadir temas que muestra los temas gratuitos destacados.
Como ya tienes el tema que quieres instalar, simplemente sigue adelante y haz clic en el botón “Subir tema”.
Ahora puede hacer clic en “Elegir de” y seleccionar el archivo .zip que descargó anteriormente de su ordenador.
A continuación, basta con hacer clic en el botón “Instalar ahora”.
Una vez instalado el tema, aparecerá el mensaje “Tema instalado correctamente”.
También verás enlaces para obtener una vista previa o activar el tema. Para empezar a utilizar este tema en tu sitio web WordPress, sólo tienes que hacer clic en “Activar”.
Si visita su sitio web, podrá ver su nuevo tema en acción.
Algunos temas añaden ajustes adicionales que puede que tengas que configurar. Dependiendo de su tema, puede que tenga que realizar estos cambios en el Personalizador de WordPress o a través de un panel de opciones de tema independiente.
En la siguiente captura de pantalla, puede ver el menú de opciones de Hestia. Este es un panel especial de opciones de tema que puede utilizar para configurar el tema de WordPress Hestia.
Nota: La característica de subida de temas solo está disponible para usuarios de WordPress.org con alojamiento propio. Si utilizas WordPress.com, no verás esta opción porque está limitada.
Para poder utilizar la característica de subida de temas personalizados, debe utilizar WordPress.org autoalojado. Para más información, consulta nuestra comparación entre WordPress.com y WordPress.org.
Si quieres cambiar de WordPress.com a WordPress.org, lee nuestro tutorial sobre cómo pasar correctamente de WordPress.com a WordPress.org.
Método 3: Instalación de un tema de WordPress mediante FTP
Si te sientes aventurero y quieres llevar tus habilidades al siguiente nivel, entonces puedes aprender acerca de instalar un nuevo tema de WordPress usando FTP.
Recuerda, este método no es para verdaderos principiantes porque es un poco más avanzado.
En primer lugar, debe descargar el archivo .zip del tema en su ordenador. A continuación, descomprima el archivo.
Esto creará una nueva carpeta con el nombre del tema en su ordenador. Hemos descargado la versión gratuita del tema Hestia de WordPress.
Ahora que tiene los archivos del tema, está listo para subirlos a su sitio web.
Para ello, debe conectarse a su cuenta de alojamiento de WordPress mediante un cliente FTP. Si necesita ayuda, consulte nuestra guía sobre cómo utilizar FTP para subir archivos de WordPress.
Una vez conectado, tienes que ir a la carpeta /wp-content/themes/. Dentro, verás las carpetas de todos los temas instalados actualmente en tu sitio web.
Puedes subir tu nuevo tema añadiéndolo a la carpeta wp-content/themes.
Seleccione la carpeta de temas descomprimida de su ordenador. A continuación, puede arrastrar y soltar esta carpeta de temas en la carpeta de temas de su sitio web.
Una vez subido el tema, vuelva a su escritorio de WordPress. A continuación, vaya a Apariencia ” Temas.
Ahora debería ver el tema que acaba de subir.
Para utilizar este tema en tu sitio web, sólo tienes que pasar el ratón por encima de él. A continuación, haga clic en el botón “Activar”.
Preguntas frecuentes acerca de la instalación de temas de WordPress
Las siguientes son algunas de las preguntas más frecuentes acerca de la instalación de temas de WordPress.
1. ¿Cuántos temas puedo utilizar en WordPress?
Solo puedes utilizar un tema a la vez. Sin embargo, puede instalar tantos temas como desee. No todos los temas instalados en tu sitio web WordPress están activos.
En cuanto activas un tema de WordPress, éste desactiva automáticamente tu tema anterior activo y convierte el nuevo tema en el activo.
2. ¿Qué es un tema hijo en WordPress?
Un tema hijo en WordPress es un subtema que hereda toda la funcionalidad, características y estilo de su tema padre. Para utilizar un tema hijo, tendrás que instalar los temas padre e hijo en tu sitio web y, a continuación, activar el tema hijo.
Para más detalles, consulte nuestras guías sobre cómo crear un tema hijo en WordPress y cómo instalar un tema hijo en WordPress.
3. ¿Puedo crear mi propio tema para WordPress?
Es posible crear un tema personalizado para WordPress. Mejor aún, puedes diseñar, crear y publicar tu propio tema sin tener que escribir ningún código.
Para ello, sólo necesita un plugin de WordPress.
SeedProd es el mejor maquetador de temas de WordPress del mercado. Puedes crear fácilmente páginas completamente personalizadas para tu sitio web usando el maquetador de arrastrar y soltar de SeedProd.
También puedes utilizar SeedProd para crear tus temas de WordPress. Para más detalles, consulte nuestra guía sobre cómo crear fácilmente un tema de WordPress personalizado.
4. ¿Qué es un framework para temas de WordPress?
Los frameworks de temas son temas de WordPress altamente optimizados que están diseñados para ser utilizados como temas padre.
Destinados a usuarios y desarrolladores avanzados, estos marcos temáticos contienen varias optimizaciones de código y velocidad que ayudan a otros desarrolladores a basarse rápidamente en ellos para crear sus propios temas.
Genesis de StudioPress es el mejor ejemplo de framework para temas de WordPress. Para más información, puedes consultar nuestro artículo sobre frameworks de temas para WordPress.
5. Temas premium frente a temas gratuitos: ¿cuál debo utilizar?
Si estás empezando con un presupuesto limitado, te recomendamos que elijas un tema gratuito flexible. Consulta nuestra selección de los mejores temas gratuitos de WordPress para blogs y los mejores temas gratuitos para sitios web empresariales.
Si puedes gastarte un poco más, te recomendamos que elijas un tema premium. Estos temas son compatibles con / dan soporte prioritario, lo que resulta muy útil, sobre todo para los principiantes.
Si desea más información sobre este tema, consulte nuestra guía sobre temas de WordPress gratuitos frente a premium, o compruebe cuánto cuesta realmente crear un sitio web en WordPress.

Esto hace que sea un poco confuso para los principiantes elegir el tema perfecto para su sitio web.
Le recomendamos que sea sencillo. Elige un tema minimalista que se parezca mucho al diseño final que tienes en mente. Asegúrate de que el tema se ve bien en dispositivos móviles y realiza una prueba de velocidad del sitio web en el sitio de demostración del tema.
Consulta nuestra guía para principiantes sobre cómo elegir el tema de WordPress perfecto para tu sitio web. También puedes echar un vistazo a nuestra selección experta del mejor software de diseño web.
7. ¿Puedo utilizar el mismo tema que he visto en otro sitio de WordPress?

When i download my themes for some reason it seems I am missing something. For instance the last them i downloaded and installed had a graphic next to the page title and that wasn’t there, there was a graphic on the side bad, again not there…. as well as the background color. Which was sorta lavender and as well that was not their either.. What am i doing wrong?
WPBeginner Support says
Not all themes have their demo content as their defaults. If you reach out to your theme’s support they can let you know if they offer their demo content.
Administrador
Will says
Ok. The themes that are with WordPress should have all the demo content there right? or is that also just for demo
WPBeginner Support says
You would need to reach out to each theme for if their demo content is available.

I have dowloaded the Pro version of my basic free wordpress theme because the Pro version unlocks more features for colours and design. In my free theme it said : Go Pro. So that’s what I want to do.
However when I upload the pro version through WP theme installer, it says installation failed because there is already a folder with that name. Do you think the Pro zip file has the same name as the free basic version?
What should I do? Use an other theme for a few minutes and de-install the free basic theme first? And then install the pro zip file? I’m unsure what to do. And will deinstalling it from my wordpress theme collection also deinstall it from my host server?
Editorial Staff says
You would want to first reach out to the theme’s support to ensure they do not have a recommended method to change to the pro version as it could have the same name.

Hi, I am having issues here.. I have followed all this site’s steps to get my website on wordpress.org. I have a domain I bought a while ago, transferred it and have it successfully hosted now on BlueHost. I just purchased a WordPress premium theme for $125 (which is p expensive..) and I can’t get the .zip file anywhere.. Also, it auto installed onto the example.WORDPRESS sites instead of my wordpress.org Bluehosted nerdvegan.com and I have no idea how to switch it since there is nowhere to download the .zip file. Also, having multiple sites listed in and of itself is messing me up, how do I get rid of everything but just the example.com that is on wordpress.org? please help!~ thank you in advance!!
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Kristy,
Please contact the theme shop you purchased the theme from to help you find the ZIP file you need to install. Once you are certain that you have the theme’s zip file on your computer. Go a head and login to your WordPress website where you want to install the theme. Go to the Appearance » Themes page and then click on the Add New button. Next, you need to click on the upload button to upload the theme file from your computer.
Please see the screenshots in the article above.

Selin says
Thanks for the article. I have a few questions as I’m a bit confused. I already have a live website hosted by Inmotion hosting. I wanted to change the design so I found a theme on Envato by Themeforest, the provider was Themezaa – and I bought the theme I liked. It was a wordpress theme. After I bought, I realised I don’t know the difference between a normal theme and a wordpress theme. I found out that I can only use this wordpress theme I bought from a wordpress editor – which is fine by me as I’m not a coder (I only received a 3 month online course on html and css circuits) so I know a bit about editing html and css. Now that I bought the wordpress theme, I’m thinking, can I simply download the wordpress editor, keep my existing host (inmotion hosting), install this new theme, edit the contents and colors and then when I’m done simply connect my domain to my new website?
Is this how I’m suppose to do it?
or do I need to cancel my existing host, and start paying wordpress.com to host my website as I’m using their editor? Can you please let me know how this works?
Selin
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Selin,
First, please see our guide on the difference between self hosted WordPress.org vs free WordPress.com blog.
Your theme would only work with self-hosted WordPress.org site.
Having said that, follow the instructions in our step by step WordPress installation tutorial to get started with WordPress.

Hi
I also I found a theme on Envato by Themeforest that I have downloaded and subsequently tried to upload onto my WordPress site for under Add Themes> upload theme and it does not want to install. It just says: “Error: fail to upload.” Any advice?
I then went to load it through the C-Panel- I loaded the Zip file, unzipped it and went to my dashboard. The theme box comes up empty, I pressed activate and the theme shows up only as HTML.
Suggestions?
Thank you
Lorna
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Lorna,
Please see your theme’s installation instructions. Some theme developers on themeforest actually send you package which has documentation, PSD files, and theme itself is a separate zip file inside the main folder.

Hello Nancy,
There is something wrong. I bought some themes from themeforest and they are all 60 to 90 mb in size. It took me about 20 minutes to download them. So i think that the 4 hours download (which still did not completes), there is something wrong.
You should contact the website admin from where you are downloading the theme.
Kind regards,
Yogi
