Maybe those are “styles” for WP 1.2.x?
Where did you download them from?
I believe it was alexking.org.
That site has two (2) sections: Styles and Themes.
As I said above, styles were for pre-1.5 versions. Since WP 1.5 WP works with themes.
(It is possible to convert a 1.2 style into a theme, it just takes work. If interested take a look at this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrade_1.2_to_1.5 )
Thank you. I’m a long time Type Pad user attempting to make the leap. There’s a lot to learn and I appreciate the fast response.
Back again. I went back to check. The “themes” that I FTP’d were themes not styles. Comparing the contents of theme folders of themes that load and those that don’t, I couldn’t recognize a significant difference. Any other ideas?
Make sure there’s not a “secondary” containing folder between the theme files and the /themes/ folder. Sometimes there’s too many folders there….
Path needs to look like /wp-content/themes/theme-name/ and within the theme-name folder a graphics folder, a bunch of .php files, and style.css.
Exactly right! Thanks so much.
