Can't change theme

[Evp]

Hi,

I'd like to change the theme of my gallery. But everything I do, don't seem to work. I've uploaded different themes, but they don't show up in the list when I try to select them. I've uploaded them to the themefolders wich also contains the other themes. Then I decided to change a theme, so I uploaded new pictures, renamed them in the files, but I see nothing happening, I refreshed, tried serveral pc's, emptied the cookies, nothing works. What am I doing wrong?

Posting a link to your gallery is needed if you want support.

I think this is a PEBCAK. Please, do all over again double checking everything.


I can use all themes perfectly fine. Also, the header in the Hardwired theme is not the original, so yes, your are changing the theme.

Hi,

Thanks for trying, what is a PEBCAK?  What you did works for me too. But what I mean is that I would like to make a whole new theme, to fit in with my site, and upload that. But when I upload another team, it doesn't come up in the dropdownfield. Also the header I changed a couple of weeks ago. I tried it again just yesterday, also the background, but it just doesn't work.

From my experience in making mistakes I recommend...

Things to try

• Upgrade first!
• make sure there are no theme related files in your gallery root (template, css)
• make sure that your new theme directory contains the all of the basic files needed theme.php, template.html, style.css

I misunderstood. So, in that case, read the sticky topic in this same sub-board:

• Making a brand new theme, where to start?

Also, it would help this post

• My experience in Theme'ing

What are the exact step that you're making when you try to upload themes to your theme folders?
