Better Discord Theme not downloading
When you click on the download button, it comes up in a new window where it checks your browser before accessing better discord.
So either it will be stuck on this page saying redirected or will give you an error message.

If you are already using chrome then click on the 3 dots at the very right-hand top and choose “Incognito Mode”.
Paste the theme link in incognito mode and then click on download. The theme will be now downloaded.
Better Discord Theme not Installing
Now once the theme has been downloaded, open the theme folder and drag the plugin from the download folder to the theme folder.
If this still not working then make sure the theme you have downloaded does not contain any extra suffix like 1 or 2.
