• Interesting title, yes.

    Anyway, I’ve made many wordpress themes in my day, but this is just weird. I just put all of my theme files into a folder to start building the theme from a static page into a bunch of wordpress compatible files. Anyway, once all the files were in, I went to the Dashboard.

    Dashboard > Design > and I looked through the available themes.

    For some reason, under the screenshot of my new theme, the description goes on forever. It goes on for the entire code (in the style.css).

    I have no idea why its doing this. I have the comment thing closed ” /* and */ “, but apparently thats not stopping it from reading EVERYTHING.

    I have no clue what the problem is.

    Here’s the top of style.css:

    /*
     Theme Name: Name is Here
     Theme URI: http://example.com
     Description: Description.
     Version: 1.0
     Author: John Doe.
     Author URI: http://example.com
     */
    
    /*This needs to be up here so it is read right away to prevent tab jumping */
    .panel{
    	display: none;
    }
    /*This needs to be up here so it is read right away to prevent tab jumping */
    
    body{
    	background: url(images/background.gif) repeat-x;
    	margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px;
    	padding: 0px;
    	font-family: "Arial", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;
    	font-size: 11px;
    	color: #444;
    }
    
    a:link,
    a:visited{
    	font-weight: bold;
    	text-decoration: none;
    }
    
    etc...

    Any ideas?

    Update

    I deleted EVERYTHING except for style.css and it was STILL doing it.

    I then deleted all of the code in style.css except for one small snippet, and it was STILL doing it. I even copy and pasted the style.css heading from the wordpress default theme and it STILL did it.

    What the hell? I tried it on 3 different installs of WP, 2.6.1, 2.6.5, and 2.7.

    Is that actually what’s in your theme, the ‘Name is here’ and everything? If not, can you provide the real data. JUST the header.

    I’m having the same problem, with the entire CSS file appearing as the theme name. I’ve been searching the forum and Google for an hour or so but can’t find any reason why this is happening.
