    Hi,

    I am really scratching my head on this one…. I have 3 themes installed successfully on my wordpress site – allof these were installed via the wordpress admin site. The problem is that the themes wont update.

    It starts the update process, but then it stops – because it cant remove the original theme directory folder.

    After this, I am left with an empty themes folders – and a broken theme.

    I then have to remove this folder manually via Ftp – and then reinstall the theme – and all my settings.

    Weirdly enough , wordpress updates, so does all my widgets – just not my theme.

    Any ideas- this has happened about 5 times now . and is really frustrating me.

    any help would be gratefully received.

    Marc

    Again, today, another theme failed to update… this theme wasnt active, so hasnt caused any major problems on my site – but it is still frustrating.

    The screen says:

    The update process is starting. This process may take a while on some hosts, so please be patient.
    Updating Theme ColorWay (1/1)

    Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/colorway.1.7.zip…
    Unpacking the update…
    Installing the latest version…
    Removing the old version of the theme…
    Theme update failed.

    An error occurred while updating ColorWay: Could not remove the old theme..

    and now when I click on the themes menu link, I get

    Broken Themes

    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
    Name Description
    colorway Stylesheet is missing.

    Can anyone help?
