There’s two ways to install the WordPress SEO Talian Theme, via the inbuilt WordPress theme installer or via FTP.
Doesn’t matter which way you install Talian 05, the results are the same.
Install Talian SEO Theme Using WordPress Theme Installer
Log into your WordPress Dashboard, click “Appearance” >> “Themes”.
Click the “Install Themes” tab.
Click the “upload” link.
Use the browse button to browse your computer for the Talian zip file talian-adsense-clickbank-seo-05.zip.
If you aren’t sure how to find your Download folder (assuming you saved it there) I suggest copying the talian-adsense-clickbank-seo-05.zip file to your Desktop so it’s easier to find.
Select the “talian-adsense-clickbank-seo-05.zip” file and click “Install now”.
Click the “Activate” link.
Talian is installed, see the readme files and the Talian Theme support page for setup details etc…
If you wasn’t able to install the Talian theme this way (if permissions aren’t set or your host has set max file size upload to below 2MB) you’ll either have to fix those issues or install via FTP.
Install Talian SEO Theme via FTP
You can use a variety of FTP programs, below I’ll use Filezilla.
Setting up Filezilla
Download Filezilla from https://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Install Filezilla
Open Filezilla
Click “File” >> “Site Manager”
Click “New Site”
Name the new site whatever you like (“My Site” for example).
Under “General” tab “Host” add your host.
The host can be an IP address or an FTP type address (like ftp.domain.com), you get this information from your web host. On my dedicated server it’s an IP address with format: 111.111.111.111
Change the Login Type from “Anonymous” to “Ask For Password”.
Filezilla has a security flaw (doesn’t encrypt saved passwords!!!) so only use “Ask For Password” not “Normal”. This way if someone hacks your PC, they are highly unlikely to gain your FTP passwords via Filezilla.
Change the “User:” from “Anonymous” to the username supplied by your web host.
Click the “Connect” button (this connects you to your sites FTP server and saves the settings for future use.).
For future use to use this setting again you click “File” >> “Site Manager” and click the name of the connection (on the left) you just setup (“My Site” for example) followed by “Connect”.
Enter the “Password” your web-host supplied in the password box.
Click “OK”
If you entered your settings correctly you’ll be connected to your site using FTP.
Preparing to Upload the Talian SEO Theme
On the left side of the Filezilla windows are files and folders on your computer and on the right panes files and folders on your site. Ignore the top and bottom panes for now.
Depending on your server type you might already be in either the /www/ folder or the /public_html/ folder. If not look for it in one of the right windows (doesn’t matter which) and click it (top window click once, bottom window double click).
When in /www/ folder or the /public_html/ folder if WordPress is already installed you’ll see folders like:
wp-admin
wp-content
wp-includes
If you don’t see this folders but you are sure WordPress is installed check through other folders, /www/ and /public_html/ are usually the name of the folders, but not always (can be anything).
If WordPress is not installed go to WordPress and download the WordPress zip file https://wordpress.org/latest.zip and install it (see the WordPress site for instructions .
Browse into /wp-content/ followed by /themes/ so you are at
/www/wp-content/themes/
or
/public_html/wp-content/themes/
Uploading the Unzipped Talian SEO Theme
Now we’ll unzip the Talian theme and upload it via FTP.
If you aren’t familiar with browsing your own computers folder structure and you aren’t sure where the Talian zip file is located I suggest copying it to your Desktop.
Copy the talian-adsense-clickbank-seo-05.zip file to your Desktop.
Unzip the file onto your Desktop maintaining the folder structure. If you have WinRar installed for example you Right Click the file and Click “Extract to talian-adsense-clickbank-seo-05\”
A new folder will appear on your Desktop /talian-adsense-clickbank-seo-05/
Back to Filezilla to upload the new folder.
In the top Left window near the top browse to the “Desktop” (should be at the top, so one click and you are there).
In the bottom left window you will see all the files and folders on your Desktop including the new /talian-adsense-clickbank-seo-05/ folder.
In the bottom left window Right Click the folder “/talian-adsense-clickbank-seo-05/” and select “Upload”.
The Talian theme files should be uploaded to your site via FTP.
It can take a few minutes, so be patient.
Log into your WordPress Dashboard and activate the Talian theme like you would any other WordPress theme.
I can’t give specific support on using different FTP programs, different zip extraction programs, what you host-name, username and password are as I don’t have that information.
See the Talian readme files for more instructions regarding setting up AdSense, Clickbank etc…

Hi David.
I’m having trouble finding the Talian theme in my dashboard, although I’ve followed all the steps you outlined, ie uploading using Filezilla. I can even see the Talian file there on the right hand side panel under Themes, with the units of 2 million odd beside it, and it says the file has been successfully transferred to my site.
But when I go to my Dashboard, there’s still only the one custom theme installed there: Twenty Ten. When I go to install a theme, it says no such theme is installed.
Is there one step I’m missing? I’ve got a Dedicated Hostgator account, though if that’s any help.
Thanks for your help.

Are you using WordPress Multisite with the Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin?
If so you need to Network Activate Talian 05, take a look at Massive Passive Profits Plugin Setting Up a Sub-Domain Blog Template with Talian 05 section “Network Activate Talian 05″.

I would network activate Talian theme if I could find it, but it’s not showing up in my dashboard under Themes, although I had transferred it with Filezilla onto my site.
Then I tried uploading it from the WP option of adding a theme, but this answer came up:
Installing Theme from uploaded file: talian-adsense-clickbank-seo-05.lnk
Unpacking the package…
Incompatible Archive. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature
I’m not a technical person, so wouldn,t know what this means.
Also, in the right hand panel of Filezilla, the Talian theme still shows up as the Jzip icon, and not as a file icon. I tried creating a directory for it, and when the directory was created and I went to Enter Directory, the file came up as empty, as compared to Twenty Ten files all showing up when I Enter Directory for it.
Sorry if I’m taking up your time for something that may be very basic for technical people, but I really want to get started with the Talian theme, and I would really appreciate some advice focused on this particular problem. Your general advice above assumes that we can find the Talian theme in the Dashboard, whereas I cannot.
Thanks for your help.

You’ve got a corrupt talian-adsense-clickbank-seo-05.zip file.
I’ve sent you an email with the zip file attached and instructions how to install correctly.
For others if you receive this error message when installing a theme via the built in WordPress theme installer:
Incompatible Archive. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature
Normally means either the zip file is corrupt (for example if during the Talian download there was an interruption to your Internet connection it could cut the end of the zip file off) or your webserver is low on diskspace and there wasn’t enough space to upload and unzip the zip file.
If you have this error message drop me an email with the email you ordered with and I’ll email you the Talian zip file.
If it’s diskspace contact your webhost for more space or clear some space off your server. Although Talian has a lot of banner images (100 in Talian 05 and images take up a lot more space than the basic theme files) it’s still under a 2MB zip file and under 3MB unzipped. You’d have to have a webhost that gives a very small amount of disk space (normally not a limiting factor as hard drives are so cheap these days) or you’ve uploaded a lot of files.
