1) How do i make it so announcement's go on the portal page?

2)How do i use filezilla to make myself get a new theme, like if i go to my files, witch ones do i go to and which ones do i delete and replace?

3) How do i install plug-ins i get confused, so please be self explanatory.



If you can answer any one of these it would be grateful,


Thank-you,

1. In the portal settings, put the ID of the forums to pull announcements from.

2. You don't delete or replace anything, the theme should come with a readme telling you what to do. You make a new folder in ./images/, upload the images there, then import the xml file in the ACP.

3. Again, the plugin should come with a readme telling you where to put the files, put them were it tells you. If there's just one file it usually goes in ./inc/plugins/, most plugin authors put files in the structure you have to upload them, but if not, you'll have to ask the author.

That should be explainend in the readme that comes with the plugin.
If you don't know where to put them, and there isn't a readme, you'll have to ask the author, as I said before, we don't know where every file has to go for every plugin available.
