Having Installation Trouble?

If you are facing errors with your download from the WordPress site don't be alarmed - there are apparently a few servers that occasionally hand out corrupted zip files. You can look at the Downloads tab and get the corresponding version. To use this file:

1. Unzip this file locally. It will create a folder called "suffusion"
2. Download and install a free FTP utility like Filezilla
3. Connect to your hosting provider using Filezilla and navigate to your WordPress installation. The details for the FTP connection were probably given to you by your host when you signed up with them.
4. Go to the folder called wp-content/themes
5. Delete the folder called "suffusion" from there
6. Upload the folder you just unzipped to wp-content/themes. Filezilla lets you upload folders instead of individual files.

For a good tutorial about an alternative approach see this nice article called Theme Updating from the support forum.
