 * I had the same problem obviously with conflicting plugins. It was not necessary
   to deactivate all plugins, install another theme, activate it and then come back
   to the original theme with reinstalling the plugins again. Simple deactivation
   and reactivation of some plugins after updating them delivered the result that
   the two plugins “Wordfence” and “All in One WP Security” are in conflict. I decided
   to deactivate the second one and everything was fine again. My advise is hence
   not to use multiple security plugins from different sources. Good luck!

 * Thank you, esmi. I have not tried the manual install yet, but I will do this 
   a.s.a.I.c.
    I think that I may have not uploaded the whole content of the WordPress.
   To tech the students with a free browser-based FTP client, I used [https://ftp.net4india.com](https://ftp.net4india.com)
   which allows the upload of quite large ZIP files when compared to other providers.
   But the drawback of this service is that it is extremely slow even for transmitting
   6.7 MB ZIP file that is automatically extracted on the server side. I wished 
   to let them know how to exploit such resources without having pre-intalled FTP
   clients on their computers (which is also not allowed at the university I work)
   such as Cyberduck and FileZilla. Our problem is also that we have to circumvent
   the forbidden exploitation of the FTP port 21 by our IT staff (which is OK for
   general purposes, but tell me how can i teach networking and design in a free
   manner without some way to use FTP. So, I found this net4india.com provider that
   obviously uses other FTP ports to transfer data. But I cannot check if everything
   was extracted at the server side. So I may try to use a proper ftp client on 
   my computer to retransmit the whole ZIP pack and check if this problem occurs
   again. This PHP error message memes me thing that some PHP file is missing…. 
   The strange thing is that the 4 default themes are working well after the WordPress
   installation. Only the new ones are striking. We’ll see. thank you for the peer
   review 🙂

 * I wil try this too. The idea was also to let the students register and manage
   their own domains from scratch (incl. FTP upload of the software, etc.). A WordPress.
   com site would provide everything ready to go and there would be less teaching
   effect, even if i do not want to go deeply into programming and networking. Students
   should learn that programs do not grow on the trees….

 * Yes, I understand. WordPress 3.9 is working fine with the environment I have 
   privately as a payed service. But this demo was to let students play with the
   program. They would not be willing to pay something of that kind. Thank you for
   the reference.

 * OK, I will try this. But the strange thing is that this happens not only with
   this particular theme but with every other theme I want to install from the WordPress
   database. here must be something subtle in this software version, or in the functionality
   that the host provider offers for free, I guess…. I would appreciate any further
   comments on this.
