It sounds like you're having this problem:

You install themes in the same way you'd do it for Wordpress. Simply 
copy all the theme files into the directory /lyceum/wp-content/themes. 
From there goto the Wordpress/Lyceum dashboard under the Presentation 
tab you'll see Themes. Click the theme you want to activate. Done. I've 
found very few themes that don't work. If your site goes blank, or the 
theme causes some other problem, simply delete or rename the themes 
directory, and all will be well again.

Yes.
