Using this CMS, you may create reliable online applications and websites. To manage it, you scarcely need any technological expertise or understanding. Because of its many benefits, including ease of use and flexibility, WordPress has emerged as the most popular website construction tool on the market. Learn More

A WordPress template: What is it?

A WordPress template serves as the skin for websites built using the WordPress content management system. A WordPress template is incredibly simple to setup. You may quickly modify the appearance of your WordPress website by installing a new template. A WordPress template comes complete with all the necessary source files, and you are free to change and expand it anyway you see fit.

File Structure

The template bundle that you downloaded is divided into various directories. Let's examine the contents of each folder:

Screenshots -contains template screenshot. Not for production.
"movie-critic-review 0.0.1.zip" -this folder contains all the necessary files for the theme.
"license.txt" -contains license details
"readme.txt" -contain information about theme images path, font use and usage script

My website was operating normally before? Who altered the permissions on the file?

WordPress may be unable to create directories, upload photos, or execute some scripts if file permissions are set incorrectly.

To manage files and create directories on the server, WordPress needs permissions.

After that select all folders in root directory and then right click to select ‘File Permissions’.
