most templates are packaged so they can be placed in the public html folder, usually because a template can contain files that do not go into the includes/templates directory so as a rule of thumb:

open the package you downloaded on your pc

you should see several files and folders usually a readme file (instructions) and a "includes" folder

Depending on the template the includes folder may contain several other files and folders,

BACK UP YOUR SITE and then:

in your ftp ... select the "includes" folder and upload it to the root of your site.. "Public-html" (or if you have your store in a sub folder called store, "public-html/store")

The ftp will now auto place all the files in their intended directories..

Job done.. go to admin and select your template

OMG, thank you so much it worked..can I ask another ?

where in the world do I find

ges/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_main_page.php

I guess so I can edit the top part of the page.

ges/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_main_page.php

change that to whatever the template you are using is called eg trublue?
but!

define_main_page.php... can be edited from the Admin in tools>define pages editor

and also

if its the header of the page you need to change you will need a differentt file depending on exactly what it is you are trying to do
