Hi David,

Are you currently using a default theme? You should see the button for 'Add New' to the right of the 'Themes' title at the top of the page found under Appearance > Themes.

Hi Rich, I tried activating new themes to see if the button would somehow show up. Right now the theme I'm using is TwentyTen ( due to some forums I read) There is absolutely no button on the whole page.

Hi David,

That sounds very odd. Out of curiosity, is your WordPress installation fully up to date?

The problem could be with the rights. Maybe you do not have rights to make this thing.

Are you sure that you are logged in with administrator rights?

Best regards,

Hi, I am having the same problem with not having an "add new" button anywhere on my Appearance > Themes page.

Is there any other way that I can upload a theme directly on Wordpress admin without using a host?

Any help is appreciated!
