This seems to be resolved at this point — thanks for the help!
The default theme is already loaded. I have the 2 that come with the installation (classic and default), and the bluebird.
Where do I set permissions, and what permissions do I need to set? I’ve never had to do that before — only changed permissions so that I could change the stylesheet and other templates myself.
The themes and plugins are all in the right folders, but they don’t show up in the dashboard, and I can’t enable them. I even tried uploading a brand new copy of the theme I use (bluebird, 3 column), and it doesn’t show up.
I’m having the same issue… I’m also using Firefox v2.0, and I noticed that as I attempted to switch between tabs while writing a post, it took FOREVER.
