Stylesheet Problem

    18 years, 6 months ago

    I downloaded and ftp’d the un-zipped files (in tact) to my server. I went and logged in to my blog. Under ‘presentations’ an opened ‘themes’. Under ‘available themes’ I saw the listings of the new downloaded themes and all are listed ‘style sheet is missing’ on all 4. I checked my host files and the sheets are there. Nothing was left out of the ftp transfer. What happend and how do I fix it. (I downloaded these files 2x and the same thing happened each time).

  • Make sure that each theme is only one folder-level deep. In each theme folder you should see the files and an images folder, not another named folder with all of those in it….

    It could also be that whoever created the theme didn’t out the proper stuff in the top if the stylesheet. For WordPress to pick up the theme, you *have* to have something like this at the very top:

    /*
    Theme Name:
    Theme URI:
    Description:
    Author:
    Author URI:
    */

    That *has* to be there. Otherwise, WordPress won’t pick it up as the default stylesheet, and it’ll tell you that the stylesheet is missing.

    I checked the files and they are one level and all have a stylesheet. The templates are ‘3689’, ’49’ and ‘1143’ I downloaded them from themes.wordpress.com

    I prefer 1143 but don’t know what to do next?

    Do your stylesheets have something like what I meantioned in the top of them? That has to be there for it to recognize the stylesheet and apply it…

    Well, if he’s looking at themes from themes.wordpress.net, I doubt that’s the problem.

    He posted themes.wordpress.com; that site’s long gone. I couldn’t get themes.wordpress.net to give me results for the numbers he gave….

    Names might work better.

    The names are 1024px, indigo and mistylook.

    I checked the style sheets and they have the /* */ with name, url, desc, author, author url. Don’t know if anything else might be missing.

    well, so much for my idea ??

    I just know when that’s happened to me, that’s always what the problem is!

    Sorry I couldn’t help out more ??

    Maybe this will help? There’s a section about theme stylesheets around the middle of the page…

    I just downloaded mistylook, unzipped, and checked it. It’s set up as it should be, so maybe there’s something else going on here.

    JohnHDS, are you doing something in the nature of a subdomain or something? What’s the link to the site with the problem?

    I think you want:
    https://homedesignsense.com/blog

    Finally, a link.

    You have them in subdirectories.

    I checked the files and they are one level

    Wrong: wp-content/themes/indigo/indigo/ is not one level.

    OK. What should I do now?

    get rid of the extra “indigo” folder. Move the files up one level.

    OK. I removed all the other files and re-uploaded just ‘connections’ and ‘1024px’ They were loaded into wp-content/templates as in the instructions. Is this correct? If so, they are not working or I am really very confused.

    Where should the files be ftp’d if they are still in the wrong place?
