Trouble installing and viewing themes

Are you sure the theme is placed like this?

No…there is not a /public_html folder… yet my other two themes in the themes folder still show up.

*Confused*

Maybe this will help its my folder set up:

You don’t really need to know about the public_html folder.. each person’s varies… When you upload the themes like this:

wp-content/themes/[your theme folder here]
————————–[image folder]
———————–[all other files]

When unzipping it, you’ll have the theme folder, inside a main folder… you only upload the one inside.. that contains the image folder and files..

I mean, when unzipped it’s usually like this:
[theme folder name]
——-inside it [theme folder name]

Just unzip the one inside.. unless your permissions need adjusting on the theme folder and files.. CHMOD theme folder 755.. files 666 to edit them via the Control Panel..

Well that folder seems to be invalid because I completely deleted it from my HD and I realized my wordpress is running through my host: Netfirms.

I can’t seem to find where I should upload/extract to then… it says the themes are located in wp-content/themes/ThemeNameHere, but I can’t seem to find where that is exactly.

What are you using to upload and such..? An FTP client.. or somethin else..? I’d just use an FTP client.. if you want, do you have any other type of Messenger..instead of just AIM.. cause I’d hit you up on a Messenger.. but, I don’t use AIM..

I am having a similar problem. I get a message telling me that the themes have been installed but they are missing the css style sheet and the template. When I checked in the folder, the css style sheet is there, so I’m assuming it might be something to do with the template – but I’m not sure how to fix it. Help???!!

Take a look at that image once k.. The style.css file should be in the theme folder like that.. well, usually lol.

Spencer –

Woohoo! Thanks for the answer to a problem that has been vexing me for days!! The link to ‘Vindictive Bastard’ above was the key. I realized that when I uploaded my themes I had an identically named theme folder inside my theme folder. That was the problem.

I was able to drag and drop the files from the subfolder to the main folder with the same name and then delete the empty subfolder and everything worked perfect!

Any ideas how I might fix my problem of never getting the right lottery numbers??

Blessings,

Ken

Awesome! I’m glad to hear you found the answers from my image and such.. =) ??

Again, I’m glad to hear you got it solved now. =)
