    Only just started with wordpress, moderately expert with other CMS.

    Installign wordpress all goes OK and site is visible in browser, but the Themes control panel is misbehaving. I’ve repeated the install with a fresh database to no avail.

    With debug on, Appearance>Manage Themes shows:
    Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$screenshot in I:\tsgg\wordpress\wp-admin\themes.php on line 102
    Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$title in I:\tsgg\wordpress\wp-admin\themes.php on line 107
    Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$version in I:\tsgg\wordpress\wp-admin\themes.php on line 107
    Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$author in I:\tsgg\wordpress\wp-admin\themes.php on line 107
    by
    Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$description in I:\tsgg\wordpress\wp-admin\themes.php on line 108

    No theme name is listed. If I upload a theme and immediately activate it, that theme is in use (I can tell this because editing index.php changes the site content)

    php 5.3.1
    MySQL 5.1.41
    Apache 2.2.14 on Windows Server 2003.

    As a matter of interest, think I may have found the cause.

    Apache/Windows shows anomalous behaviour when it encounters filenames containing capitals on a Samba/LAN share. If the filename contains capitals it cannot be opened with either the capitalized or lowercase names.

    Hard to see why this would arise, though it suggests that Apache is not using the standard OS calls to open files.

    So, not a WordPress issue as such but an Apache ‘feature’

    I imagine there are one or two CamelCased files somewhere, and that is why only minor sections of WordPress are affected. Since capitalized filenames are rare on websites, I hadn’t encountered this before.
