artisteer templates

Hi,
You have two choices when you export an Artisteer WordPress template, one is to a folder which you would then ftp to your website, the other is as a zip file.

Export your theme as a zip and then you can install it from the admin area of WordPress, if you are going to export it as a folder to do some changes then you would use ftp.

However not all Hosts will grant ftp, then you have two options change your host, or on Windows open the themes folder, select all files, right mouse and send to compressed zip, rename the zip to the themes name, with no spaces, then you can upload as normal.

Posts here will quickly move down the list and Artisteer have a friendly forum for Artisteer users you might find useful:

I have some Artisteer based tutorials, for when you discover the limitations of Artisteer which is a good theme layout creator for creating the graphics etc:, but you will find that other themes have nice features built in and want to add some of these to your Artisteer themes.
My Website Digital Raindrops

And BudsTechShed has some good tutorials like setting up a WAMP WordPress install for testing changes on your local PC so you do not break your live website.

If this answers you question then mark it as resolved!

Hello
Thank you for your advice
I have tried your selecting all files and sending to compressed zip file and the following message appeared and the style sheet is still missing. Artisteer say that this is a wordpress issue. Any suggestions

Many thanks

The /wp-content directory does not belong inside the /wp-admin directory.
Unless of course you’ve actually done something like installed your blog inside a sub-directory named “/wp-admin”.

See what you think of this….

//www.stretchphysio.co.uk/wp-admin/wp-content/themes/stretchphysio/

I’m not quite sure what I am seeing, but all the file names are prepended with the theme name and a backslash on the server:

stretchphysio\images\item-left.png

however, when downloaded, the actual file name looks like this:

stretchphysio_images_item-left.png

Could that be contributing to WordPress not finding the files, and at least one of the errors you are getting?

It looks like it’s asking for this – //www.stretchphysio.co.uk/wp-admin/wp-content/themes/stretchphysio/style.css)

But the file is here instead – //www.stretchphysio.co.uk/wp-admin/wp-content/themes/stretchphysio/stretchphysio\style.css

Strange.

Thank you for your advice
But I don’t really know what I should do with your advice
When I am installing the wordpress application should I put

wp-admin/wp-content/themes/stretchphysio/

in the section where it says “which folder do you want it installed to”

Looking forward to help being on it’s way

The Artisteer forums may be more productive for you. The file naming conventions and theme structure appear to be the issue at this point. After looking at the contents of the stretchphysio theme directory, I think your issue is with the way Artisteer is pre-packaging and naming your themes files.

Thanks for all your advice
Will try the artisteer forum, but I have been trying to get advice from the support team too. I will copy the above thread to them and see if anything you have suggested will help
