 * Hi,
 * I have changed my OS at centos 5, I made my database backup (4 sites, 2 of them
   with wp 3.1.3 that works fine, and 2 with 3.2.1 that couse my problem), and files
   backup, and put them in my new Os without any erros. When I login in wp-admin(
   of 3.2.1 wp sites), wp recognise my theme as broken, and don’t recognise any 
   of my plugins. My plugins exists in plugins folder, and I don’t think there was
   errors when I backuped my files.
 * Forgive my poor english
 * Thanks

 * Broken Themes
 * The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet
   and a template.
    Name Description adsticle/style.css File not readable.
 * But I have made chmod 777 to wp-content,themes,adsticle
 * >  /var/www/html/vhosts/domain.com/wp-content/themes
   >  [root@lup themes]# ls -

 * Changing folder permissions will not fix a broken theme. Read the error message.
   Your theme is missing its style.css file.
