Just to make sure: P2 installs as a theme not a plugin. If you install through the ‘add a theme’ menu by searching for it and installing it straight from the theme repository (instead of uploading it from your pc) you might have better luck. Have you tried that?
Is there a means to full back to the previous version (P2.1). I have updated automatically to find that the theme info now says that it is configured to work with 2.9 beta or better and, if I try to use I get an error message – Fatal error: Call to undefined function: str_ireplace() in /homepages/45/d141821370/htdocs/archery/wp-content/themes/p2/functions.php on line 69 – and this is a shame. If I’d have known this was suitable for 2.9 beat and above I would have waited it out, now I can’t roll it back and I am having to use another theme which I don’t really want to. Any assistance would be appreciated.
A bit of an update – I have , in the mean time, found and installed the 2.9 version beta. Good from that point of view. However, it hasn’t made any difference with the theme, I still get the Fatal error message as previously mentioned. As before, no other theme appears to be effected
