[@goddog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/goddog/) – see above: that’s why I said you do NOT have the same problem… you just simply hijacked the OP’s topic! * 2. [@djbarr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/djbarr/), What machine are you on? If you open the theme files on your machine for editing, what editor are you using? Are you sure the files and folders are uploaded correctly? Every theme should be in their own folder: …/themes/foldername/ Sometimes, they trick you and you have double folders, like …/themes/foldername/foldername/ * [goddog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/goddog/) * (@goddog) * [18 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/file-not-readable/#post-619280) * Yes, you are absolutly right.
