In reply to: Upgrade to 3.0.1 "The requested theme does not exist"Fantastic. Thanks for helping out! Everything with the themes is hunky dory after a cleansing in TextWrangler.

In reply to: Upgrade to 3.0.1 "The requested theme does not exist"Well, whaddya know. Started afresh in TextWrangler and Problem Is Solved. I cannot account for it. Ghost in the machine? Crazy character?
I might not understand it but at least I know where to go from here! Afternoon is saved!

In reply to: Upgrade to 3.0.1 "The requested theme does not exist"I’m just using Dreamweaver as a coding environment; I have TextWrangler too. Maybe I’ll launch TextWrangler and see if it makes any difference.
FWIW, the theme info doesn’t display the same way the other theme info displays:

In reply to: Upgrade to 3.0.1 "The requested theme does not exist"I did that. It didn’t fix the problem. Then I created a new stylesheet and typed in the info fresh. That didn’t fix it either. This has got me flummoxed! Thanks for checking in. I can smell the aroma of my day burning away as I try to identify and fix this problem…

In reply to: Upgrade to 3.0.1 "The requested theme does not exist"Theme check claims that all my css header information is missing:
Required: Theme name: is missing.
Required: Theme URI: is missing.
Required: Description: is missing.
Required: Author: is missing.
Required: Version: is missing.However, this is what my style.css file has in the comments at the top:
/*
Theme Name: Bare Minimum

Author: mean me

In reply to: Upgrade to 3.0.1 "The requested theme does not exist"Oh, cool. I have just downloaded and will give it a whirl. I do know that I have too many versions of things floating around, so this is a good excuse to clean everything up, even if I can’t fix it 🙁

In reply to: Upgrade to 3.0.1 "The requested theme does not exist"Been there, read that 🙂 which isn’t to say that there aren’t any errors, but the themes are very stripped down, and did used to edit okay before The Upgrade. I’ll take a look, but what kind of errors might cause this to have happened on WP upgrade, so I can focus my search in a productive place? Was there some slop that 2.* allowed that 3.0 is more picky about?
I have looked at the comment headers in the style sheets and the PHP docblock on header.php and I *think* they’re okay; where else might an error be lurking? If I find it, I am sure it will be an “aha” moment.
Off to reread the theme development link. 🙂

In reply to: My theme’s information looks crappy in dashboard<blush>
Looks great online. It’s odd that it looks so bad local, and other themes look normal on my local testing server.Thanks y’all! Helped me learn my 10th new thing today!

In reply to: My theme’s information looks crappy in dashboardI’m running a local site while I develop it, but I can upload and post a link…
I just copied the commented header code from the default theme and edited it, so I’m not sure why it wouldn’t work.
Here’s the style sheet:

In reply to: My theme’s information looks crappy in dashboardHey, experts, any thoughts?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: My theme’s information looks crappy in dashboardStill wondering how I can get my theme’s info to look good, and not recursive, in the dashboard. Does anyone have any ideas?
Here is what I’m talking about – my ugly formatting on left, nice theme formatting on the right:
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: My theme’s information looks crappy in dashboardHere is css comment area:
/*
Theme Name: GroundUp
Theme URI: http://www.badscience.org/
Description: not much to it
Version: 1.0
Author: Me
Tags: blank, simple, homemade
*/This is what the theme manager displays:
GroundUp Theme URI: http://www.badscience.org/ Description: not much to it Version: 1.0 Author: Me Tags: blank, simple, homemade 1.0 Author: Me Tags: blank, simple, homemade by Me Tags: blank, simple, homemade
not much to it Version: 1.0 Author: Me Tags: blank, simple, homemade
All of this theme’s files are located in /themes/ground_up.
Tags: blank, simple, homemade
As you can see, there is a bunch of repetition as if that information displays through a loop until only the last thing is left.
The classic theme, in contrast, displays like this in the theme manager:
WordPress Classic 1.5 by Dave Shea
The original WordPress theme that graced versions 1.2.x and prior.
Activate | Preview | Delete
All of this theme’s files are located in /themes/classic.Tags: mantle color, variable width, two columns, widgets
and its CSS comments look like this:
/*

This is just a basic layout, with only the bare minimum defined.
Please tweak this and make it your own. 🙂
*/I can’t figure out what I need to do to get my theme information to look nice in the dashboard. Thanks for any help!
