   I am attempting to upload a new theme. I have ftp'd two new themes as instructed to /wordpress/wp-content/themes

   However, the themes do not appear on the Presentation Page.

   The Presentation page is actually wordpress/wp-admin/themes

   But...

   In my ftp client there is not wp-admin/themes folder in my remote site directory!

   Any advice?

   Thanks!

   /wp-admin/theme.php (Presentation link) is normal
   /wp-content/themes is correct place to upload themes

   A problem some folks have is a double folder - it happens because of the way they're zipped.
   Normal is:
   /wp-content/themes/yourtheme

   You may have:
   /wp-content/themes/yourtheme/yourtheme
   which is incorrect.

   Check it out.

   Hi Samboll -

   Sorry we couldn't hook up - Michael took good care of me though - thx for putting him in touch...

   Yep - I checked the folder name. The zip did, in fact, drop dup folders. I opened up what I wanted and saved it and deleted the extra directory. Then I uploaded using filezilla. I tried it with a second theme to make sure it wasn't just an old or corrupted file set - but it is the same for both - nada. :)

   What do you think?

   contact me:
   click on my username (samboll) and then contact in the header of my test site.
   give me your ftp user/pass and your blog address and user/pass
   and I'll be glad to look at it.

   Check your contact me - just sent the info...

   Also - I re-uploaded scary-little-08 - I can see it filezilla in the destination file folder named /wordpress/wp-content/themes/ right along side Classic and Default...

   Strange! I must be doing something stupid... :)

   Yeah - that's a mystery...I actually made a point to use my permanent e-mail address so as not to get picked up by the spam filters... Oh well - we're a crafty bunch, we'll always find a way to communicate...

   See anything funny on the setup of the uploaded themes?

   Fixed - it was not a user problem but a server file structure one.
