 * I have been working with this theme (Attitude) on a localhost for months. Uploaded
   to bluehost, and as soon as the theme is activated, every page gives me a 500
   server error and the following message:
 * The website encountered an error while retrieving [http://66.147.242.168/~bellabf4/wp-admin/themes.php?activated=true](http://66.147.242.168/~bellabf4/wp-admin/themes.php?activated=true).
   It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
 * Any thoughts? It’s my first wordpress install and I’m not familiar with the guts
   of this process beyond html and css.

 * Figured it out – when the theme installed it didn’t install all the subdirectories.
   Had to add them all manually from the localhost. Then it was fine.
