Thanks – I will try that on a new copy later. However for now:
1- since I have manually replaced the content on the home page on the copy and don’t have time to make another copy right now, my prelim test consisted of deleting the theme and downloading/activating it again. That produced no problems.
2 – before doing that I ran ‘ls -l |wc’ on the original and copy drift directory – got 28 245 1718 for both – and again after downloading the new copy. Same result.
So i doubt this is a missing files problem, but can test further when I have a few mins tomorrow AM.
