Topic: Themes

Using 2.2.8
I have unsuccessfully tried to install a new theme  from grayseries226.

I have uploaded the required folder to my server at root/themes but it does not appear in the Preferences> Theme selection box and I can find no instructions anywhere as to how to install other than uploading the Themes folder on the server.

There must be more to the installation process so that it is accessible?

thanks

Re: Themes

There is no additional setting required, so if the theme did not appear in selector you have probably incorrect permissions set on the new folder, then  www server cannot read it.

Hi Janusz,
I have checked all permissions.  Folders are set to 755 and all files to 777 as are the original themes - so permissions appear to be identical.  Still they don't appear? I have exactly the same problem with the newwave theme - it doesn't appear either.

Oops - found the problem.  I have just installed onto a new sever and the files were loaded to the backup copy.  Very embarrassed o-)
