When installing a theme by uploading a zip file, the wording used in some
strings may refer to the 'active' theme even though it's not the
currrently active theme.
This may be confusing for users and the wording could be improved.
The theme install process may show a page with warnings about some checks
such as PHP and WordPress verisions, and also the theme version.
To reproduce:
- Go to WP admin > Appearance > Add New Thene > Upload Theme.
- Upload a theme zip.
- Do not activate the theme.
- Go again to WP admin > Appearance > Add New Thene > Upload Theme.
- Upload the same theme zip.
- During the theme installation process you will get a page that informs
'This theme is already installed.'
- Observe some strings refer to the theme as 'active' even though it's not
the active theme.
Specifically:
- The header of one of the table header is 'Active'.
- The button text is: 'Replace active with uploaded'.
- There's at least one more string that refers to 'active': 'You are
uploading an older version of the active theme'.
