youre not copying from or to the right place.
Look at this:
http://www.timhiers.com/blog/wp-content/themes/
You clearly ONLY have 2 themes located there.
Boy, that’s frustrating, specifically because you’re right. Look at my ls -l in the “super” folder (one that doesn’t display there, but definitely exists in the directory structure)
root@####:/var/www/blog/wp-content/themes# ls super -l
total 108
-rwxrwxrwx 1 www-data www-data 171 2005-01-03 23:20 404.php
-rwxrwxrwx 1 www-data www-data 2231 2006-12-01 04:26 archive.php
-rwxrwxrwx 1 www-data www-data 352 2006-11-19 01:56 archives.php
The files are there, of that much I’m sure. It’s beyond me why they aren’t showing up.
edit: That’s further complicated by the fact that the folders are apparently registering with WP, but not being able to be accessed.
your problem is clear.. look at that path :
/var/www/blog/wp-content/themes
/var/www is a symlink.
Thats NOT where you need to be.
/var/www isn’t a symlink on my machine. It’s a folder that contains the main page and some files. Verily, ’tis a folder and not a symlink.
whats the output of ls when you do that from /var ?
I restarted for the second time, and the folders are magically there. I can’t say why, but whatever, it’s resolved.
the ls -l /var is
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2007-06-11 18:07 www
for www, just to respond to your question
edit: Also, I appreciate the help. Thanks.
I an now having this problem. Ages ago I selected Ocadia as my theme. I want a new look and have uploaded a few themes to try out. They are all in the same file with Ocadia. When I try to select a new theme the only ones showing for me to choose from is Ocadia – Classic – Default. In the file I also have:
beautiful-sunrise-10
blue kino
blue-pix-100
tonus-13
weblogsus
It just seems odd that none of them are available for me to select.
/www/handwoven-thoughts/wp-content/themes/
I have done this once before so I should be able to do it again, but I need some help. Thanks
Each theme (and files) should be in their own directory under wp-content/themes
they each are in a file in wp-content/themes, just like Ocadia is – am I missing something?
Dunno, we’re not speaking the same language yet. 🙂
What directories do you have under wp-content/themes?
All of the following – the 1st three work and the next five to not
Ocadia
Classic
Default
beautiful-sunrise-10
blue kino
blue-pix-100
tonus-13
weblogsus
style.css is in each file, not sure what else to look for. and thanks for being so quick with responses!!
First, remove any spaces from the the theme directory names — I know that’ll cause issues (not sure on dashes, but might not hurt to rename around those too).
Next, compare directory permissions and ownership on the the three that are working to the directories that aren’t. If you’re not hip to the world of CHMOD and hosting file permissions, this article is a little primer to help: Changing_File_Permissions
If course the space would cause a problem – I was just trusting and not thinking. Changed those and I had been comparing the permissions, They all look the same. I am not seeing any differences. Oh well, guess it is not the right time to update my look!!
