    hi there, hope someone can help with this, tried everything including trying to register at instinct forums which doesnt work as well!

    im missing the option of selecting a theme..
    in WP-ADMIN settings/store/presentation there is just no option

    ive tried moving the themes to :
    wp-content/uploads/wpsc/themes/
    and also:
    wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/themes/
    (which didnt exist)

    none of these options make any difference in this myhtical button they talk of which is ‘select theme’ the only difference ive been able to make is for the dashboard to report :
    Some Theme files have been moved to your WordPress Theme Folder.

    still doesnt show me a select theme button though..
    anyone got any idea whats going on ?

    ive checked the permissions on the folder:

    drwxrwxr-x  7 user pg1235372 4096 2011-04-07 03:31 .
drwxrwxr-x 10 user pg1235372 4096 2011-03-24 03:56 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 user pg1235372  954 2011-04-07 03:18 compatibility.css
drwxr-xr-x  3 user pg1235372 4096 2011-04-07 03:31 dangdoot
drwxr-xr-x  3 user pg1235372 4096 2011-04-07 03:18 default
drwxr-xr-x  3 user pg1235372 4096 2011-04-07 03:18 iShop
drwxr-xr-x  2 user pg1235372 4096 2011-04-07 03:31 images
drwxr-xr-x  3 user pg1235372 4096 2011-04-07 03:18 marketplace

    they all look ok – the group is the standard group my server uses.
    really appreciate if anyone knows whats going on here, i think ive tried everything….

    hi sorry, the edit button has gone from this post. ive just completely installed wordpress and wp-ecommerce from scratch with a new database and it still doesnt contain the themes. i recopied the themes back in to the same folders above and the same thing happens. i even uninstalled and tried to download the plugin from the original website and uploaded it just to check that and no themes there.

    Hello, i’m having the same problem, i cannot find ‘select theme’ in WP-ADMIN settings/store/presentation to choose themes and the folder wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/themes does not exist.

    wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/wpsc-theme does not contain the files for iShop or Marketplace

    can anyone help please? thanks

    So it seems that for some people using the theme backup in the presentation settings area is causing some hassles – The major one I have seen is old themes from the uploads directory been ported into the WordPress theme directory – If you want to backup your theme files I would recommend doing it the manual ftp way and just copying all the theme files (from wpsc-themes) into the main directory of your current (activate) WordPress theme. This will ensure that you’re running on the new themes and you can keep any styling changes you make safe because your themes have been moved. If you are making changes to your templates don’t forget to alter the ones in your currently active WordPress theme folder, not the template files inside wp-e-commerce plugin folders – these files wont be loaded if you already have files in your WordPress theme folder.

    this seems to say themes is broken in this version ?

    but this says something else:
    https://www.instinct.co.nz/e-commerce/docs/themes/

    problem for me is im missing the select button mentioned in the last link.

    well, it appears you just have to guess this stuff. doesnt seem the forums at instinct are too well populated and here is kind of the wrong place i guess. this conflicted piece of information to the previous posts seems to suggest this function just might be gone! although i never had it in the previous version either!

    https://docs.getshopped.org/wiki/documentation/design-and-layout/templates

    so im just going to ignore the highly misleading docs that talk about ‘select theme’ and put the files in my current theme. seems like its going backwards to remove this feature though (even though i never had it!)
