   How come when I install themes, they are always missing things like the background or the images and certain pieces are always missing. I upload each file one by one and all the images, what's wrong?

   ok, so let me get this straight.

   You posted a meaningless topic, yelling for help (QUICK HELP! even) -- you get a reply, asking for more info -- you come back an hour later, and dont answer the question?

   uh, fuck that.

   when you can do a little work than that, I *might* help you. I dont want to have to hunt for stuff, so YOU need to give an example of an image that is missing, and where it is supposed to be.

   Maybe if you clicked the link you would see like I said every theme is missing I told you the theme I have now, no one asked for your help you obviously know nothing, someone else please tell me why the theme isn't showing up

   I guess you rant against the wrong person.
   In any case, what I think of with your little information is that something goes wrong with FTP and that would make this not a WP topic.

   Well, I don't know what I'm supposed to see, but I can only say that I see a theme not of my taste. So what do you miss? The header image, a background image, colours in the sidebar or the background? All options can have different causes, from missing files to a badly coded style.css. You didn't say if the default or classic theme does work, so I guess you just want us to guess (or ask Earl)?

    well do you have an example of the raw format to your theme? I tried searching on http://www.themes.wordpress.net for your theme, but nothing turned up on itheme. What second rate site did you get theme. And are they complete when you download them from the site? They not making it to your ftp? That is just the couple whats that the others were asking.
    If it is something simple whynot just make it in photoshop?

    So what about the default and classic themes, do they work?
    Btw. how do you upload? An FTP program (which one) or some other way?

    Sorry, I edited my previous post while you typed your answer. (See there.)
    Do you have other problems with files missing, from the WP installation for example?

    Yeah FTP service through the company that hosts my site IGN/GameSpy, all the files are there it just doesn't show up correctly.

    Ok, so that's an FTP function not using software from your own computer, but more like an upload function in your control panel or something? I don't have experience with that.
    Can you compare the files on your computer with the files on the server? Like, opening the style.css with notepad from your computer (for example) and view the file itself on the server? It's a long shot, but perhaps something just goes wrong in the transferring process.
    Did you try another method to copy the files to the server ((another) FTP program or something)?
    WP itself, did you upload it yourself, was it already on the server or can you use some kind of automatic installation?

    Just wondering, did you try to add plugins and does that work? Maybe another option can be the One Click Plugin Updater also allows you to install a theme. Just as another option to try if another method works better.

    Questions, questions.

    Your uploaded plugins are fine or what of my many questions did you answer there? (And what about the others?)

    So you've got the following option left: try to upload another way. This can mean, try a (different) FTP program (get one for free from the internet somewhere) and/or try the plugin that I mentioned in my previous post.

    google yourself filezilla it is one of the best FTP programs out there. Once you get yout ftp client up reupload and overwrite the exsisting one that is on there.
    You say it is fine but are all the images uploaded, all php files?
