For some reason, on my blog when I go to “Appearance” and then “Themes,” under “Available Themes” it says:
“You only have one theme installed right now. Live a little! You can choose from over 1,000 free themes in the www.ads-software.com Theme Directory at any time: just click on the Install Themes tab above.”
I’m currently using Twenty-Twelve, but was trying to change it until this happened. Does anyone have any idea what to do to fix this?? I don’t know if it helps, but my blog is Tokenwhiteballer.com
Thanks so much
]]>I figured out that this was because it had somehow reverted to the TwentyEleven theme, but worse than that: my own custom child-theme was no longer listed under “available themes.” (I made absolutely no alterations to the file structure or the comments section of style.css; it is exactly the same as it was when everything was working fine.)
The SUPER strange part is that my site was still displaying as if my child-theme was active!! Seriously, WHY THE FACE?! o_0 (This also makes it impossible to know when the problem occurred.)
Unfortunately, I tried switching to Thematic, and seeing if that made my child-theme reappear as an option, which didn’t work, so now my site looks like Thematic, and I can no longer continue working on other aspects of my custom style.css until this problem is resolved.
I tried creating a brand new child-theme, the same way I did it the first time (which had worked), and it also did not show up.
I cannot provide a link to my site because I’m building it locally, using MAMP.
Sure hope someone can help; thanks!
]]>In an effort to isolate the problem, I deleted a different theme folder from my server, and that one doesn’t disappear from my Available Themes.
There seems to be a lack of synchronization between what’s actually on my server and what’s getting pulled in by WordPress.
I have tried it in Firefox and IE. I’ve tried clearing my cache and cookies… need to go live on Thursday with the new theme – please help :/
Thank you,
Trevan
This is a tad strange… From the WP>Theme menu, I cannot delete the themes I do not want to keep. The deletion process seems to be running properly except that when the page reloads, the theme is still present, despite the message in the top yellow area stating that it’s been deleted successfully… I am logged in as the Administrator and I’m able to perform all other tasks across the WP Admin app…
If I tried to delete the folders from my FTP app; likewise, I am not allowed to delete those theme folders. Theme folders permission is 755, and even that I am not allowed to change… and I am still the administrator…
Weird… Any ideas?
Thanks
Cheers,
Olivier
