Thank you for your reply.
I tried this. I am no programmer however.
Because I cannot change the limitation of upload files (support by my web host is minimal on this), I could not upload any file.
I tried by transferring the whole package by FTP to the public_html/tmp directory of my website. I tried installation then with the unzipped package and the alternative leaving the whole package unzipped because the former did't work.
It does not find the install file j51_london_j4.zip (according the instructions: "install file for your template from the download that you have just unzipped. You will find this located in the Joomla! [JoomlaVersion] Install Files folder, titled j51_[TemplateName].zip."
. Each time I get error messages like "JInstaller: :Install: cannot find XML installation file", and "Path does not have valid package" and "Could not find 'manifestfile' (translated).)
Whatever path I try no install file is found.
I also wonder why you have to unzip everything if the install file is supposed to be a zip file.
I upgraded Joomla to version 5.2.2 and PHP to version 8.1. This caused all problems with my existing website that couldn't be published anymore. Because also of phishing attacks I decided to rebuild the website.
I would appreciate some further help.
