   I am just getting set up again. Now at http://www.atthe404.com but I can not install a theme. The Presentation Manager does not seem to see it. Other than uploading the files is there something I need to do? Have tried the codex - very slick- but could nt find anything on it. I am on 1.5 stable (allegedly). :)

   Welcome back root!

   I don't think this version of bbPress supports profile editing quite yet :( Looking forward to seeing what you'll do with the 404 now :)

   RustIndy's correct. We're still waiting for that upgrade around here.

   Anyway, some "make sure"s about themes:

   1. You're uploading them to their own directory here:

   http://www.atthe404.com/wp-content/themes/

   2. The themes are meant for 1.5.

   3. Each theme's style.css has a header similar to this:

   /*
Theme Name: Alpha Site
Theme URI: http://alpha.site
Description: Anubis is coming!
Version: 2.0
Author: Robert Kinsey
*/

   Hey Root, it's been a while. I was wondering where you went.

   Pfft.. beat me to the punchline.

   Thanks. I had forgotten that the theme name needs to match the theme directory name. That isn't clear in a lot of theme install instructions.

   Nope, it doesn't. Otherwise "WordPress Classic" and "WordPress Default" wouldn't work as names since the folders are named "classic" and "default", respectively. The theme name and directory name are entirely seperate things.
