 * I am trying to activate a theme from elegant themes, and am not having success.
   I have:
    1) uploaded it via .ZIP and tried to preview/activate 2) manually FTP
   up and installed it (I have tried multiple elegant themes in both chrome & safari,
   hosted on earthlink)
 * both ways show up as a thumbnail and come through in the ‘themes’ category, but
   when I preview/activate, they show up completely blank/white.
 * Please help & thanks for the suggestions.
