LesBessant: You are a savior! It did work!

FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM here’s the step-by-step:

1) Let “Test Theme” be the theme that does not appear under Presentation but seems to reside under Themes.
2) Go to your File Manager under Themes and click “Test Theme” to open it; if there is another file named “Test Theme” under “Test Theme” go back up one level;
3) Rename “Test Theme” under Themes into anything, eg “Test;”
4) Go back down one level and grab the “second” “Test Theme” and push it up one level to Themes;
5) Erase “Test” and you’re home.

Again, LesBessant, thanks for saving me from so much more tweaking!

nadir: thanks for your response.

In fact, I did just as you suggested a while ago as I was tweaking with Options>General. The result was that WP went completely out of whack returning error pages when I clicked tabs on the Dashboard plus when I clicked View Site, it returned a page listing all the elements of the first page of the blog but without a theme.

At that point, I went back to CPanel, erased the WP installation, and re-installed it in a directory I called “WordPress.” Then, I uploaded the themes I was talking about again.

I’m glad to report “improvement.” I now have Broken Themes instead of no themes at all. WP says “Stylesheet is missing.”

Under Options>General WordPress address (URI) and Blog Address (URI) are both https://epithesisnow.com/wordpress/

The names of the uploaded themes are cub-reporter and mw1.1.

It looks like that code is indeed poetry, but of the slightly goofy kind…

Another little mystery: when I unzip the theme files, I get a whole bunch of MS Digital Image Documents which the MS Digital Image program fails to open — it simply freezes and I have to go to Task Manager to stop it… I thought most of the documents would be text (OK, newbie talk…) Thanks.

I forgot to say that WordPress address (URI) and Blog address (URI) are both https://epithesisnow.com — Thanks again…

I have the exact same problem; I posted here before about it… my URL is https://epithesisnow.com — the two themes I have uploaded but can’t see under Presentation are cub-reporter and mw1.1… By the way what does “bump for more information” mean? (sorry, total newbie here). Thanks much for any help.

This is really strange… I open the File Manager and under “themes,” cub-reporter resides happily. I open cub-reporter and the folder is populated with the relevant docs. It must be the Phantom of WordPress! Thank you for trying to help though. I appreciate it.

This is what appears at the very top of the CSS file:
/*
Template: cub-reporter
Theme Name: Cub Reporter
Description: You’re a cub reporter, the year is 1940…

Thanks again. I did as above but a 404 page appeared again. Maybe there’s something wrong with the installation (?) I’ll drop a note to the Support people at the host. But, again, thanks for your prompt responses. At least, I know there’s a helpful WP community out there, something that I could never claim for TypePad…

Thanks moshu! I entered epithesisnow.com/wp-admin and got an HTTP 404 Not Found reply. I went to my File Manager and I see that wp-admin is under public_html/wordpress. I then tried epithesisnow.com/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin, but got an error page again (scratching head)…
