FYI I did proceed with esmi’s suggestion and posted several times. A couple of things to report for the benefit of all:
1) when searching for themes through Dashboard under “Install Themes” that it reverts with version 3.4.9 but when I search https://wordpress.bytesforall.com/?p=94 it shows SEVERAL newer versions up to 3.5.3 which I just downloaded. I deleted Atahualpa through Dashboard, ensured my webhost ftp files/directory were all gone, uploaded the complete package 3.5.3 and tried again. But with the SAME RESULT.
2) it would appear that the interface varies to a degree that causes a lot of confusion.

I believe things are pretty buggy and not very user friendly at all. It sure has killed a lot of my time and I have not even gotten to the point of having a theme page up and running!

Hello all,

I just spent 30 minutes on the phone with my web host tech support. By the way, they have got to be the VERY best host anywhere – anybody interested can message me – NOTE: I have absolutely no connection to them or vested interest other than having been through the voyage of the damned with hosting companies prior to finding them and they are the cheapest of the lot to boot.

Anyway, the guy installed the same 3 themes on his personal blog that I have while I was on the phone with him and he had the exact same problem with the 2 that I did. We both installed a 4th – Desk 1.0.3 and it worked. Both it and Twenty Ten that worked for both of us are very simple themes whereas the other 2 are much more heavy weight, or so it seems to a newbie like me.

I tried installing myMag 1.1 through admin & rebooted but when I click preview I get error: Message from Webpage “Stack Overflow at Line:24” A second reinstall resulted in the same. It seems when activated it shows only part of what it should? if you care to take a look?

I tried unzipping the theme file to my drive and then ftp uploaded all the theme files overwriting the old ones again in this fashion – rather than the install through admin this time. Same result. I will keep trying – this time a new theme.

I reinstalled through the admin panel after having deleted as you instructed. I got the same result once I activated Atahualpa. I checked the install directories which show as:
/public_html/22flanders/wp-content/themes/
11/18/2010 01:19PM Directory .
11/18/2010 01:19PM Directory ..
11/18/2010 01:19PM Directory atahualpa
04/15/2009 12:00AM 30 index.php
09/03/2010 10:38AM Directory twentyten

Note: even the activate preview window on which you click to activate in the header, shows the same text only as you saw on my site and which I posted before.

Sorry for all of your trouble, but this is confounding. But typical of my luck!!

Maybe the source code from the page will help you??

My webhoster supports wordpress and I installed the prog through there. Then I uploaded the unzipped theme to a directory on my site ftp. It said it completed OK. When I go to themes in admin it shows both themes and the Atahualpa shows a window image just as my previously installed Twenty Ten theme. I can activate either one of them and have. The Twenty Ten shows up properly. The Atahualpa shows the image in admin similar to your test site, but when I activate it the site shows what you see at the link I sent you previously.

Thanks for your input govpatel. Perhaps it is best if you click on this link as I have now activated the theme that does not seem to function properly:

You mention your website but not the url which is?
