Themes are not showing in Dashboard

I can’t see anything in the themes images you posted but a small corner.

does everything else work correctly?

Sorry, I was just illustrating that there was only one theme!

Here’s more of the page! Picture

And yes, everything else works fine. If I would install a new theme right now and activate it right away, it would work, but my old one would be nowhere to be found in the dashboard! (I could find the file in the cpanel)

If I installed a new theme but didn’t activate it, It would not show up in the appearance > themes section. Only in Cpanel. It’s very strange!

what you’re seeing is the theme’s detailed view. (like if I click on any of the themes directly) If you select the themes from the sidebar directly under appearance you should see the list view.

I tried clicking on “themes” alone under appearance, but it still only shows that one. It also has a “1” in the circle at the top left, supposing I only have one available?

Maybe you need to contact your host/friend for help. Look at this:

Thanks for the suggestion! I tried it without much luck for me. I’m sure it’s something within my back end, I just don’t know how to locate the issue!

I am having the exact same problem and also have not been able to find a solution. And yes it appears to be the active theme detail view and list view showing all 5 themes cannot be accessed. It also has a 1 in the circle at the top left just as you described. Did you ever resolve this issue?

Was there a solution for this ever found. I have this same issue

Yet another with exactly the same issue. It doesn’t matter how I install the theme, through the dashboard or by uploading it. WordPress only shows one theme installed.

The only other bit of information I can add to what has been said above is,
1) I’m on GoDaddy and used their automated installation.
2) The themes appeared to be operating correctly until I settled on TwentyThirteen. Now I only see the TwentyThirteen theme regardless of how many folders are in my themes directory or how they got there.

@marktomlinson – if you need help and this thread doesn’t have any solutions that work for you, I’d suggest you start your own thread as per – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post

I don’t know how many of you are still having this issue, but here was my resolution.

Turns out that somehow my Administrator role had lost the “switch_theme” capability. I had been experimenting with different plug-ins and I suspect one of them removed it, although I’d be hard pressed to tell you which one.

Suspecting that, I installed the ‘WPFront User Role Editor’ plug-in (not a recommendation, just the first one I picked), and inspected the role. That plug-in has a Restore option, so I selected it and restored all roles to their defaults. Then I uninstalled WPFront User Role Editor.

Bingo! I immediately had the ability to see all my installed themes and switch between them.

Wow I wish I new that before I ended up redoing the entire site, but oh well. I am pretty sure my issue was caused by WP role manager or ROle scoper both seemed to give me a fit so I removed them and it was months before I noticed the underlining issue.

Thank you so much Mark for posting the solution! I ended up having to reinstall everything when it happened to me. I’m saving your solution so if it happens again I won’t get stuck.
