   New WP user looking for some fundamental help. I’ve recently installed WP on my web site and I’m trying to change the presentation. I’ve uploaded the theme folder into the wp-content/themes directory on my blog. But nothing is happening. I think I'm using version 2.2. Any help would be appreciated.

   explain what you mean by "nothing is happening", please.

   Do you see the newly uploaded themes in the presentation menu?

   If you do, what happens when you chose one?

   Also, a link to your blog would be helpful.

   Address is http://www.donoblog.net. When I say "nothing happens" I mean the presentation I've selected does not appear on the "Themes" page, as the directions at the bottom of the page say it should.

   did you upload the theme like this

   theme-name/theme files

   sometimes themes are packaged with extra folders, like....

   theme-name/theme-name-again/theme files

   the bottom example won't work

   I'm having the same problem - files are uploaded correctly via ftp

   I uploaded the theme folder so it's directory is

   wp-content/themes/theme folder name

   inside the theme folder there are theme files and img folder.

   It's not showing up no matter how many times I log in or out of admin - reuploaded several themes to check whether it's working and have had the same problem. None have shown up.

   any ideas?

   I'm having a similar problem. However, while the theme shows up on the presentation page, when it is selected it doesn't actually show up on the blog.

   deidrean,
   your blog is screwed up because of your domain name!
   Unfortunately, WP "thinks" it knows everything better... and transforms your X letter into the 'multiply' character.
   Search for posts with similar issues and an eventual solution:
   keyword: 4x4

   One of the links says the problem has been solved, however I'm using the latest install and am still having the problem.

   Another link suggests I change this line:

   $guessurl = preg_replace('|/wp-admin/.*|i', '', $schema . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

   and reinstall, but not sure what I need to change.
