 * Im trying to integrate WP into a site I allready created before I decided to 
   use WP… And its a real pain.. 😉
 * Anyway, my new theme gets listed under “Broken Themes” in the Admin Interface.
   Description is “Template is missing.”
 * Index.php and style.css is there…
 * I would like to be able to choose it, to see if anything is working at all… 🙂

 * If I’d known about it, yes I could have… but being a reactionary, I’m not going
   to change it now…
 * Thanks! Good luck to you too.

 * Oh, sorry, Root… I was wary of putting a link to it because I’ve had so many 
   problems with spamming. But, throwing caution to the winds:

 * I have this same error message. I am not trying to make my own stylesheet. I 
   am simply trying to get the default one to work again. It accidentally got deleted
   and I simply restored it and now it does not work. You go to [http://www.jannascorner.net/wordpress](http://www.jannascorner.net/wordpress)
   and get an empty page. I have copied and pasted the orig. code and remade the
   style.css from scratch and ftp to my site and still does not work. Everything
   is in the correct directory. I am not good with css and php. I dont know all 
   of the jargon. Can anyone give me some advise?

 * Nevermind…got it fixed…simply downloaded wp to my hard drive and reinstalled 
   the directory. Thanks. Still having trouble with the ins and outs of the whole
   thing though. Any newbie suggestions??? <grin> Am in the process of reading the
   links above. It is all still a bit of greek to me. Not major, but enough for 
   it to take me an hour when it should only take 10 minutes. Anyway…love the forums.
   Thanks for helping a newbie learn so she can teach others!

 * Hi again 🙂
 * Can you give us a bit more detail ? There are a lot of problems in this thread
   and it’s not easy to know which ones you mean.

 * When I upload this theme and attempt to activate it, it is listed under “Broken
   Themes” and the error is “Template is missing.” I just started using WP today
   so I have no clue how to fix it.
