# Theme install

 * I have been installing themes regularly to test them. There are six in my theme
   folder as we speak. I just FTP’d four more. I can now see the new themes via 
   FTP client, cPanel, and I also see the files in both local/remote in Dreamweaver.
   But they do not appear in my wp manager ‘presentation/theme installer’. And I
   now removed two of the originals and it is still in the wp manager. I have been
   working on this for a few hours but this seems pretty basic. I tried two other
   browsers…thoughts? Thanks

 * thoughts? yes plenty.
 * you uploaded them to the wronng place, perhaps… dont mistake symlinks like www/
   and consequently www/wp-content/themes as a real place. thats a symlink.
 * Use public_html or whatever corresponding directory name your server is set up
   for as the starting path for uploads.
 * public_html/wp-content/themes (assuming your blog is installed at your site root).
 * heres a quick way to check, again assuming your blog is installed at your site
   root..
 * you ought to be able to navigate to [http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/yourthemenamehere/style.css](http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/yourthemenamehere/style.css)
   and see it. If you cant, its not in the proper place.

 * ok, i walked away for a few minutes. i logged out. started over – is there a 
   limit to the number of themes that can be sitting in the wp manager?

 * whooami – i owe you!
 * did not solve it yet but i plugged in a known link that worked. and then one 
   that had what i thought was a newly added theme – nada. now i have to figure 
   out where the new ones are sitting. but wait. what about the ones i deleted? 
   probably same problem.
 * rereading this i sound a bit manic. i think i am done until tomorrow. r

 * After a night’s rest and reexaming, the uploads were correct. But the concept
   of reexaming the “real” links caused me to go to my ISP. I had recently migrated
   servers from Plesk to cPanel and did not reconfigure the nameservers for this
   site so I was actually tweaking the old files sitting on another server. Thanks
   for the help. R
