Stylesheet missing and so is my theme name

  • I created my own theme as I’m looking to get WordPress to run as a CMS for a site I’m designing.

    I have WP v2.1.3 and am uploading my theme using Filezilla.

    I have the Default and Classic themes installed under /wp-content/themes/ and so I uploaded my theme there also, I took note of the structure and placement of the files within those other themes to make sure I uploaded mine the same as those structures.

    In my dashboard > presentation my theme is listed as broken, although it doesn’t mention the name of the theme and it says the stylesheet is missing.

    I cannot understand what’s wrong, I have read the first 21 threads in this forum relating to “stylesheet is missing”, I have no duplicated folders and nothing mentioned in those threads has really helped.

    My blog is located at https://www.nixdesign.com.au/blog/

    The top lines of my style sheet reads:

    /*
    Theme Name: WSC
    Description: Theme for the Wichita Swim Club website
    Version: 1.0
    Author: Nicole Moore
    Author URI: https://www.nixdesign.com.au
    */

    And when I type file names for my theme into a browser they are there: header.php, footer.php, sidebar.php and most importantly styles.css.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Nicole

  • It may sound obvious, but is it saved as style.css?

    Thanks for the responses guys,

    I’ve fumbled my way through a lot of this and did manage to get the site working, at least the opening page of it.

    kind regards

    I was having the same problem:

    Do a ls -l command while in your Themes directory.

    Make sure the directory that contains your NEW theme has the same user/group permissions that the Default and Classic folders have. If not use chown & chgrp commands to give the NEW themes folder the same user & group as the Default & Classic folders.

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks for the tip! I was beating my head over this one too… forgot that with NTFS, cut/paste vice copy/paste retains permissions from original source. Thanks for the catch! Regards.
