Update the theme via WordPress

Hello,

I can´t upload the theme.

In your documentation, it is written that:

“C. Update the theme via WordPress
• Step 1 – Deactivate the current “Newspaper” theme from the Appearance > Themes section by simply activating a different theme. Once you activate a different theme, delete the Newspaper theme. Don’t worry, your content will not be lost.
• Step 2 – Get the “Newspaper.zip” file from your new Themeforest download (Installable WordPress file only). If you downloaded the “All Files & Documentation” from Themeforest, then you need to unzip the archive file you received, the Newspaper.zip will be inside it.
• Step 3 – Go to Appearance > Themes, choose Add New Theme, Upload the “Newspaper.zip” and click on the “Install Now” button.
• Step 4 – After your upload is finished choose Activate the theme.
• Step 5 – Update the plugins. The theme required and recommended plugins are included in the theme package inside the ../Newspaper-tf/plugins folder.”

As a result, I made the “Step 1”, and it appeared the following message:

“Deletion failed: The requested theme does not exist.”

So, I did “Step 2”.

After I made “Step 3”, but it appeared the following message:

“Installing Theme from uploaded file: themeforest-5489609-newspaper-wordpress-theme.zip
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
Destination folder already exists. /home/videosu/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/
Theme install failed.”

Question: how can I solve this problem?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Pedro Moreira

Hello Pedro.
