I’m getting the following error and could use some help figuring it out:

Downloading update from https://www.ads-software.com/wordpress-2.8.4.zip.

Unpacking the update.

Verifying the unpacked files

Installing the latest version

Could not copy file: /path/to/wp/wp-admin/theme-install.php

Installation Failed

Thoughts?

t31os,

I tried your second suggestion, removing the aligncenter class, but it didn’t fix the issue

To clarify, the captions on images center just fine below the image. It’s the images themselves that are not aligning to center.

What I can’t figure out if why, in the Visual tab of the post editor, the images show up properly aligned to center. But on the actual live page, they all left-align.

t31os,

Thanks for that tip!

I tried your suggestion, and noticed that adding “auto” to the margin syntax DOES properly center images in IE and Firefox.

However, it unfortunately does not work in Safari. It also produces an unusual side effect that causes left- and right-aligned images to lose their margin (in all browsers), so text hugs right up against the image instead of having a buffer.

Ideas?

Hi Esmi,

I actually tried that. I cut-n-pasted the recommended CSS from that post into Tropicala’s stylesheet, but it didn’t seem to work. Maybe I’m missing something?

Towards the bottom of Tropicala’s CSS file I found this code:

/* Image stuff for 2.6.1 */
.aligncenter {
  display: block;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
}

.alignleft {
  float: left;
}

.alignright {
  float: right;
}

I replaced it with this, from that post I linked above:

img.centered, .aligncenter, div.aligncenter {
	display: block;
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
	}

img.alignright {
	padding: 4px;
	margin: 0 0 2px 7px;
	display: inline;
	}

img.alignleft {
	padding: 4px;
	margin: 0 7px 2px 0;
	display: inline;
	}

.alignright {
	float: right;
	}

.alignleft {
	float: left;
	}

This did not fix the problem. =(

The only other reference to images in the Tropicala CSS is the following random code:

img {
  border:0;
}

mcaddengroup: the original poster is no longer using the Tropicala theme.

Thank you zeniph for posting this fix. I had the same issue and was relieved to find a solution!
