    I installed a brand new fresh version of wp on my host provider’s server. a sql database is also running. everything looks fine and is working. only when i want to edit a theme manually in the appearance section the following error appears: “Oops, no such file exists! Double check the name and try again, merci.”
    this happens with the wp standard theme as well as with others i select. also the preview picture of the other themes is not showing up..
    what could that be?

  • I suggest starting by uploading the WP file again. Make sure you are uploading ALL the files, and they are being placed in the correct WordPress folder structures.

    i did. all the content of the downloaded zip file. i put it in my htdoc directory. maybe i cant edit the themes thru the admin-browser-interface? need to do it manually with an external editor?

    how’s the files name who is responsible for the editing process?

    all the content of the downloaded zip file. i put it in my htdoc directory.

    You did keep the WP folders separate?

    within your install folder you should see folders
    wp-admin
    wp-content
    wp-includes
    and they should have folders within them

    the file “theme-editor.php” exists in its directory. i changed permissions a few time (now i’m on 767) but with no result. i opened the php-file in my editor an i found this:
    ‘<div class=”error”><p>’

    thats why my error message appears.

    how to fix that?

    fixed it.

    in my providers php settings i marked “dir()”.. re-installed wordpress
    an it works. All the preview images and the editing mode appears.

    explain more elaborate how to fix it, i have same problem.

    bump

    if this is new installation why not ask your hosting providerto fix..
