Kalium-child install - folder already exists

    Hi Laborator, 


    I have an error with installing the kalium-child.zip in my themes, saying 'the folder already exists. This is the course of events that caused this:

    1) Tried to install kalium-chilp.zip theme (read the advice on your documentation page, but did not realise needed Kalium first)

    2) Got an error that I need to install Kalium theme first

    3) Installed kalium.zip successfully as theme

    4) Now that I re-try to install kalium-child.zip I get the error that the folder is already there.

    This problem probably occurred due to starting with step 1. 

    Can I undo this step and successfully install the child theme? I read that it is preferred to work with this child theme. 

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi MvBergeijk,

    You have to access your site over FTP to delete the folder but before you go on please make sure that Kalium Child Theme is not on the list Appearance -> Theme.

    How to access your site over ftp, please refer to article Installing the theme over FTP, in your case just use try to upload kalium-child, you can also delete the folder kalium-child and install from WP Admin area.

    Thank you
