 * Hi there,
 * did everything that was explained in the many threads about the topic of renaming
   a theme, however, it does not work:
 * Theme A should be renamed to B:
    – changed in style.cc the theme name – changed
   the theme folder through FTP However, the theme still tries to access e.g. images
   in the path /A/images/ rather than in the new path /B/images/
 * Obviously I am missing something. But what?
 * Many thanks
    Christian

 * FinanceWeek (however, that does not matter, as for test reasons I tried it even
   with the core WP theme and it does not work)

 * It does work. I’ve done this many, many, times without the slightest problem.
 * I’m sorry but your chosen theme is not released under GPL and is not welcome 
   here. Official WordPress policy states that all plugins and themes that are publicly
   released are required to adhere to [http://wordpress.org/about/gpl/](http://wordpress.org/about/gpl/)
 * I would also strongly recommend that you read [this article](http://www.chipbennett.net/2010/12/10/only-download-wordpress-themes-from-trusted-sources/)
   and consider changing to a theme from a reputable source asap.

 * The largest source of quality, free, themes is [http://wordpress.org/themes/](http://wordpress.org/themes/)
 * That particular theme supplier is known for making copies of genuine free themes,
   adding their own spam links and lord knows what else and then releasing them 
   as their own themes. Did you even bother reading the page I linked to above.
