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.

i did that and i get this error Upload template - Upload Failed

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.

There are several boxes that do this on Duo Plate. Please make sure to read over the following tutorials:
