 * Looking for any help I can get. New to WP. Installed first theme. Receive a message
   that the theme install was Successful but then I also received these Warnings
   below:
 * (XXX is my account username). I can’t see the theme in my WP admin page and it
   says I only have 1 theme installed (i.e. the default theme).
 * I opened functions.php to try and understand the error but code is not my thing.
 * Warning: fopen(/webroot/r/e/XXX/primary/www/wp/wp-content/themes/colorfolio/style.
   css) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /webroot/
   r/e/XXX/primary/www/wp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4165
 * Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /webroot/
   r/e/XXX/primary/www/wp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4168
 * Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /webroot/
   r/e/XXX/primary/www/wp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4171
 * Any help is appreciated.

 * The new theme is broken. It is missing a critical file: style.css

 * Already checked that… it has style.css in the downloaded zip file and it was 
   on my server when I checked.

 * Right… but it is there. In the HTML directory (both in the downloaded zip and
   the extracted zip that was uploaded during the Theme install).
 * I deleted the director and FTP’d all the extracted files but still no luck.
 * Any other suggestions?
