Title: Error on Theme Upload Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Error on Theme Upload * [gingee734](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gingee734/) * (@gingee734) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-on-theme-upload/) * I get this error when I try to upload my theme: * > Warning: fopen(/nfs/c06/h04/mnt/94578/domains/joannycastro.com/html/wp-content/ > themes/tfg/style.css) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file > or directory in /nfs/c06/h04/mnt/94578/domains/joannycastro.com/html/wp-includes/ > functions.php on line 4284 > Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /nfs/ > c06/h04/mnt/94578/domains/joannycastro.com/html/wp-includes/functions.php on > line 4287 > Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /nfs/ > c06/h04/mnt/94578/domains/joannycastro.com/html/wp-includes/functions.php on > line 4290 * I searched the forums and used nearly every solution that seemed suitable. Then I redid the coding of the theme making sure everything was up to date and correct according to WordPress codex. I don’t know what could be wrong since the functions. php file wasn’t touched. Although it says the theme was installed successfully, nothing shows up. It’s currently not allowing me to upload the theme when I rename the .zip file either.

I don’t know what you mean by big spaces. Do you mean time between uploading a theme, where you have to wait? Here’s the lines of code from the functions.php file: * **4284** `$fp = fopen( $file, 'r' );` * **4287** `$file_data = fread( $fp, 8192 );` * **4290** `fclose( $fp );` * The comment markup talks about opening the file but yea… still no clue to what’s wrong. My code is fairy basic since I went by codex too. * [nikart8272](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikart8272/) * (@nikart8272) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-on-theme-upload/#post-2106207) * hello gingee734, * your error shows that style.css is creating some problems. * best to to fully delete that theme via filezilla and than upload vai same. * for more help how to…. visit [Link removed – don’t self-advertise. – Mod.] * Thread Starter [gingee734](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gingee734/) * (@gingee734) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-on-theme-upload/#post-2106377) * When I delete and upload it with Filezilla, the theme still won’t show up. Any idea on what could be wrong with the style sheet? * It pretty much goes along these lines… * ``` /* Theme Name: **** Theme URI: **** Description: **** Author: **** Author URI: **** Version: 1.0 */ body { background-color: #d4cdda; margin:0; } #header { height:125px; background: #2f2f2f url(../images/top-nav.jpg) repeat-y left scroll; position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100%; z-index:100; } #logo { float:left; padding-left:60px; padding-top:20px; padding-bottom:20px; padding-right:25px; } #navmenu { margin-top:50px;} #navmenu ul { list-style-type: none; list-style-image: none; } ``` * Excluded info marked with “****” – there’s more to it of course. * [Abinav Thakuri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abinav/) * (@abinav) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-on-theme-upload/#post-2106399) * add this line to your wp-config.php `php_flag display_errors on` * load your site again with the theme activated.you should see some errors now and the lines stated.Open up the file shown with the error and there might be large spaces near to the line stated there.Delete those spaces. * Or there might be real errors on your codes.dont just look at the lines stated.. look on lines near it. * [Abinav Thakuri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abinav/) * (@abinav) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-on-theme-upload/#post-2106400) * I dont see anything wrong with the css.Yet if you’re unnsure you can validate your css through this site: [http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/](http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/) * Thread Starter [gingee734](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gingee734/) * (@gingee734) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-on-theme-upload/#post-2106446) * the code: `php_flag display_errors on` shows up as a syntax error. I tried it anyway and everything just shows how that line of code is an error. Nothing shows up but that error. * I set `define('WP_DEBUG', true);` from false to true. And I get a few errors in functions.php without loading the theme.. * ``` Notice: add_option was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.3 with no alternative available. in /nfs/c06/h04/mnt/94578/domains/joannycastro.com/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3389 Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0!

I guess I should try to fix the errors above first? * My CSS came up with no errors from the validator. * [Abinav Thakuri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abinav/) * (@abinav) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-on-theme-upload/#post-2106449) * No they are just notices not errors.just dont worry about them.Its strange the code is actually correct.Where did you put it in?It should be placed inside your wp-config.php file ..Please check if you did anything wrong..The code is very much correct the way i showed you above. * Thread Starter [gingee734](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gingee734/) * (@gingee734) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-on-theme-upload/#post-2106451) * I put the code at the end of wp-config.php, exactly as written. * [rtrevino9](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rtrevino9/) * (@rtrevino9) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-on-theme-upload/#post-2106515) * gingee734 did you have any luck fixing this issue I’m having the same problem with “picturethis” theme from themeforest.net Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Error on Theme Upload’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [theme upload](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/theme-upload/) * 10 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [rtrevino9](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rtrevino9/) * Last activity: [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-on-theme-upload/#post-2106515) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
