    Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

    I made my own theme, added the theme info to my style.css file, but I keep getting this error: The active theme is broken. Reverting to the default theme.

    All my files are uploaded and chmoded correctly, the theme name is even the same as the folder name. None of the files are missing.

    A google search turned up nothing useful- only how to fix it for specific themes. But I don't want to use a free theme, I want to implement my own.

    Also, it would be nice if in future versions, the error was more specific and said why the theme was broken. The current one is so general that it's useless.

    Just figured out the problem was with the User Levels Theme addon... turns out it wasn't letting me change the default theme.

    Still would be helpful if the error was more specific though.
