Where it says "Enter the URL to the theme zip file and click Install theme" what address am I supposed to put in there? My theme is already unzipped and loaded on my server. The only zip file is the one I have on my desktop from when I originally downloaded the theme. Please help, thanks.

I have the same problem – can Vladimir or anyone else help (I'm sure it's simple but I'm a newbie!) thanks in advance!
i *think* it's http://www.yoursite.com/wp-con…../yourtheme. if you go the appearances tab in wordpress, and you locate the theme you're interested in, and in the section underneath the icon there should be a section which says something like "All of this theme’s files are located in /themes/barthelme".
simply have both Themes uploaded to wordpress (it's not necessary to use the 'url' upload field). —> choose the 'test drive theme' within plugin and 'activate'.
Hope this takes confusion out for jumpy newbies like myself :) My confusion was thinking I needed to use the 'url' for theme zip option! But that's simply not true! You can also 'activate' within 'test drive theme' if you follow the usual route:
–> upload the theme using the newbie-friendly 'installation' feature within the dashboard categories appearance / themes –> return to 'test drive theme' category –> choose the 'test drive theme' –> 'activate'
That worked for this Newbie. Obvious to you, but wasn't to me! Hope that helps others. Cheers.

Hi, I tried 'Natalie's' advice above:
entered the web address of the downloaded theme I wish to test drive:
http://www.yoursite.com/themes/'name of theme'
Problem – test drive indicates "NOT FOUND"
What am I missing? The other posts in the forum don't clearly answer this for a newbie like myself!
ps. I cannot find the url of the commercial theme i purchased to enter into test drive url field.
Thanks for any help.
