Hi, if you're just doing a standard template install there's no need to unzip anything. In the backend of Joomla you can install a template. Just browser for the zip file and click upload and Joomla will do all the work for you.

There is most likely a server issue going on. This often happens if your server times out or there is a permission problem. You can try unzipping the template locally on your computer. The folder name should be the name of the template with no spaces ie: edenrock, bliss, gamevision, businesslook etc. Then upload that entire folder to your template folder through an ftp client.

in the demo for the church/band template it shows a bunch of boxes which open when clicked and close when clocked again... thus expanding and expanding

why isnt that on my template, i dont know how to add them or get them to show
