Themes Uploaded, but won’t show in admin

  • Working on a new installation of 2.6 here.

    Basically, I’ve uploaded a couple of themes that are supposedly fine with 2.6, but they won’t show up in the admin to be activated. Am I missing something?

    Before the standard questions come…

    Confirmed that they have been uploaded. And yes, the are in the wp-content/themes directory.

    Do you have unique template id in the style.css file for those templates? They cannot have the same name as any other template:

    example:

    /*
    Theme Name: Your Theme Name
    Theme URI: https://yoururl.org/
    Description: Template Description
    Version: 1.5
    Author: Template Author
    Tags: Template tags
    */

    There’s only one copy of either theme in the directory. They both have unique template IDs in their style sheets.

    ok is your style.css in the root of your theme folder? It needs to be in the root and not in a subdirectory. I know these questions may seem elementary but little things like this can be the culprit.

    I get ya, got to eliminate the easy stuff. But this is a public theme (tarski), not something homebrew.

    I’m begining to think its a server issue, or something that just went wrong with the installation. No themes, other than the ones that come standard, will display at all.

    Hmm. That is strange. I might try a reinstall then and see if that fixes it. I’ve not encountered no themes at all working before. I wonder if it’s a permissions issue? What are the folders and files set at?

    Check your file and directory permissions.

    Everything seems to be at 777, but I’m wondering if there’s a directory in here that’s not. But everywhere I look, its all 7s.
