theme upload error message

  • I uploaded a new theme to my blog under wp-content/themes/newtheme, and expanded filetype upload permissions to php and css, and now when i try to get into the content folder i get the following error message:

    “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_header() in /home/dronero/public_html/lauren/wordpress/wp-content/index.php on line 1”

    or go here to see the error for yourself: https://lauren.droner.org/wordpress/wp-content/

    how do i resolve this?

  • Why are you trying to access the wp-content folder? Also, there shouldn’t be an index.php in that folder anyway.

    I’m not sure I get this…
    You do know that the theme should go in a sub-folder to themes, right?
    So if you upload a theme named NewTheme, you should probably create a folder named wp-content/themes/newtheme/ and put the files in that folder.
    The above error doesn’t really make sense – it looks like you placed the .php and .css themefiles directly in wp-content/themes/…

    i’m kind of a beginner… in the “options” tab under “miscellaneous” i added extension “/themes/newtheme” to the URI of the directory, and not also to the destination directory.

    i need to delete the files now, or whatever’s necessary to get rid of the error.
