    Hello,
    We are two webmasters here scratching our heads not knowing how to apply new site theme. I downloaded Butterfly theme, and there are only 3 files in unzipped folder. I copied “butterfly” folder into themes/site_themes/ folder - it doesn’t show up in the Themes (CP). My friend replaced the content of the themes/site_themes/default folder - I hit Refresh in my browser - no changes. We searched documentation - still couldn’t find anything. Any suggestions?
    P.S. I’m little bit familiar with WordPress - there it is very easy - upload theme folder, open administration page, click on the new theme image and it’s done. Here in ExpressEngine I can’t even locate log-in link in the front page. How users will be able to register?

    Once you get your Member Module going, you’ll have to create a login page.  Its for security reasons.  Here is how you do it in the documentation:
