Where? YOur site or the theme viewer?
My site…downloaded from WP theme viewer
I hope someone can help me…I have four themes in this folder and I would really like to try one, especially.
Your help will be greatly appreciated –
In particular, make sure when you unzip the theme you don’t have an extra “layer” of directory structure.
Good: wp-content/themes/MyNewTheme/style.css
Bad: wp-content/themes/MyNewTheme/MyNewTheme/style.css
Did you ever find the answer to your problem. I am having the same issue. All the themes I install are broken in one way or another. On the theme selection page the broken theme will not have a full thumbnail view but instead you can only see the top strip of the theme. When I select the theme I get a code error when visiting the blog. The code error differs from theme to theme. I am using the bluehost java ftp tool (unlimitedftp) and am installing the theme at /public_html/myjoco/wp-content/themes/cordobo-green-park-09-beta-09
The error I get is
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/mybluedi/public_html/myjoco/wp-content/themes/cordobo-green-park-09-beta-09/index.php on line 13
jacob: Suggest you try another method of uploading (at least for test). I suspect your files are not making it to the server intact (unexpected $end = “Give it up, biotch, I know there’s more then that!”).
Yosimite…did that…according to wp codex, I’m correct. Thanks much for the suggestion.
HandySolo…Mine looks just like the good you suggest…somepeen rotton in Denmark!
Yo Jacob..I fear I can’t help you …I use FileZilla and hesitate to recommend…good luck!
Permissions? Have you made sure the uploaded themes are readable by the Apache process?
Well, that did it. I uploaded using a different FTP tool (SmartFTP) and the theme uploaded properly. But now the theme does not look right. The font is very large and it has thrown everything out of wack. Has anyone seen this before?
Was there a link we should use to see it?
Have you cleared your local browser cache (or hit ctrl-F5 while on the page)? Perhaps you have cached CSS.
hi jacobmin- did you find the answer?…I have’nt. I tried two more themes with the same result. I’m wondering…if there is a minimum number of downloads allowed…I read in WP that there is’nt, but then-the denmark thing. I’ll keep looking-
I had the same problem installing new themes and found that uploaded files had been given the wrong UID/permissions.
So, as long as you have shell access, from the theme folder that isn’t working…
chown -R <your user name>.<your user group> .
chmod -R 644 *
chmod 755 .
chmod 755 <directories>
You need to do the last command for each directory.
Hope it helps!
