Themes incomplete, Huh?

    Hi, I’m pretty new to woerdpress but have learned how to upload themes and have them work OK. The last two themes I uploaded don’t look like they did in the wp theme site. Top borders are missing, the name area, and all the little icons that precede topic names and categories etc. These last two themes I really want because they have 2 pages and 3 pages respectively, and a little tool bar that shows that at the top near the name.
    They are classy 1.0, and redie 3.0
    Am I doing something wrong or …? Help truly appreciated.
    Roger Newby.

    Open the theme folder on your server (with ftp) and make sure the image folder mirrors what you have in the zip file?

    FTP baffles me, especially as the help systems around are geared for the previous version so that help instruction don’t match whats on my desk top.
    I uploaded the files using Cpanel, and for other themes this has worked out fine. Initially I thought I’d dropped a file or two, but I’ve recounted several times and the count before and after are the same. After upload they also seem to settle themselves into alphabetical order.

    Is there something special in FTP that keeps everything working straight that I’m not getting with Cpanel?

    thanks for the reply btw

    I’m not familiar with cpanel, but it’s popular, so it should know the difference between binary and ascii files. I’m sure someone here knows.

    What browser are you using? Depending on the bowser, are you seeing “red Xs” where an image should be showing?

    In your browser, take a look at the source code of the page. (If you’re not familiar with it, look through it for a few minutes and everything should start to make a little sense.) You should be able to determine if the page is linking to a missing image in question.

    I fumbled a bit more, and can’t really see any difference with what Cpanel had, but now, the one theme I care about …IS WORKING!! gin and tonics all round.
    Thank you Buzz, for the ideas.
