   Thanks Derek, this video has been really helpful to me. We all appreciate it.
   I did find a mistake in the video though, that’s been causing me trouble until just now. On your video you write bloginfo(‘template-directory’); when in fact it is bloginfo(‘template_directory’); – Just a warning to anyone else that had this problem.

   @donvodki That seems to be a Facebook issue. They don’t recognize the symbol ñ It seems you have to replace the special characters this way ñ= u00f1 and Ñ= u00d1

   So you’d have to do something like This is a u00d1 to get that character to show up. I hope that helps.

   @TheMelanieTube You have to save the theme folder in the themes folder. The theme folder is in the folder named wp-content in WordPress. You can also install themes in WordPress by uploading the zipped theme. You do that on theme page under appearance on your wordpress dashboard

   @derekbanas yes but they dont show up on my wordpress dashboard/ theme section, why not, i have downloaded them.

   @TheMelanieTube Sorry but I’m not sure what you are asking for. All of the files are saved in the wp-content directory in themes. Is that the question

    @gv222 They normally take a total of two hours a day to make. I don’t have any other hobbies. I’m glad you liked it
