#2050 closed enhancement (wontfix)

Theme Management - Feature Request

Description

I would like to suggest the following feature to be added to the core WP.

  1. Allow the user to upload a .zip file, containing the theme that he wants to upload
  1. Extract it automatically in the server and put it under the wp-content/themes/

This way, the user has to just download the theme from anyone releasing it and then "upload it through WP" and just start using it.

Ofcourse I am OK if i have to specify .zip to be an allowable extension, for file uploads.

Even better, give it the URL of the .zip file and have the server grab it... kinda like going into the server's shell and doing a wget.

Matt Read's Installer plugin (currently in beta right now) does this for plugins and themes (inputting a URL to a ZIP or other archive file, and auto install):
