There are two ways to add a new WordPress theme to your site: use the search field, which returns results from the WordPress.org theme directory, or upload a WordPress theme from your local hard drive.

1. Choose and install a theme from the official WordPress theme directory

If you know the theme’s name, you can simply search for it by typing its name in the Search box.
