I have downloaded 5 skin zips to my PC and have unzipped them.  They were each downloaded into their own unique folder and then I upzipped them.  Now I am able to view all of the objects in the zips.

I am logged in as host to my site and am at host settings and at the bottom of the screen there are two green arrows, one for Upload skin and one for upload container.

Is this the correct spot for getting the skins on my PC up to my website?  If not, can someone please point me to the correct spot to get the unzipped objects to my site, and also tell me how to do it?

Thanks in advance,

Jay

Extensions (skins, modules, containers) get uploaded from the Host/Extensions page. You upload the ZIP files that you downloaded for the skins, not the extracted contents.

Try uploading the ZIP files from that page, that should get you going.

Chris, Thanks, but I need a little more help. I am a newbie to web design and I did exactly what you instructed above, but need your instructions to be a little more detailed. Specifically, what do I do when I get to the host/extensions page? I went there and went to the skins section but do not know what to do from there. Sorry for the inconvenience. Jay

Jay,

What version od DNN are you using? I've created 2 videos, one for uploading skins to DNN4 and another for DNN5 (Links below)

I hope these help.

Regards,

Rick.
