Theme Uploader - Effortless Theme Installation for Botble CMS

Theme Uploader is a powerful utility plugin designed to simplify theme installation for Botble CMS. Instead of uploading theme files manually through FTP or accessing the server file manager, this plugin allows administrators to install new themes directly from the admin dashboard using a simple ZIP upload process.
