 * Every time I try to load a new theme, the theme page on my dashboard says the
   stylesheet is missing. I’ve loaded them to the wp-content/themes directory just
   like my old themes and when I open the folders for the individual themes after
   I’ve uploaded the style.css is there.
 * I note that a lot of other people seem to have this problem lately, surely this
   shouldn’t be so complicated??
 * Anyone know the fix?

 * its difficult to help you without a url to your wordpress blog or the name of
   the themes you are trying to use.

 * [http://www.feministpeacenetwork.org/wp-content/themes/](http://www.feministpeacenetwork.org/wp-content/themes/)
 * look here:
 * [http://www.feministpeacenetwork.org/wp-content/themes/andreas09/andreas09/](http://www.feministpeacenetwork.org/wp-content/themes/andreas09/andreas09/)
 * thats not done correctly.
 * themes need to be installed like so:
 * [http://www.feministpeacenetwork.org/wp-content/themes/](http://www.feministpeacenetwork.org/wp-content/themes/)**
   theme-name**/
 * the files for the theme go inside there.
 * for instance, you have this:
 * [http://www.feministpeacenetwork.org/wp-content/themes/wp-gila/gila/](http://www.feministpeacenetwork.org/wp-content/themes/wp-gila/gila/)
 * you want this:
 * [http://www.feministpeacenetwork.org/wp-content/themes/wp-gila/](http://www.feministpeacenetwork.org/wp-content/themes/wp-gila/)
 * follow?
 * look at how the 2 themes that come with wordpress are uploaded. You are making
   one common error of nesting the themes in an extra directory.

 * Hi
    I am new so not sure I know what I am doing. I spent over 2 days trying out
   themes only to finally discover they all said stylesheet missing.
 * After reading all the forum entries on the subject, I have
    1. cleared my cache.
   2. discovered that the unzip program automatically adds another layer of dupclicate
   directory, so I move all the files up one directory and delete the duplicate 
   directory name. 3. I use my ftp to upload.
 * Is there a way to resolve this problem?
 * Thank you for any help you can provide,
    Sandy

 * I have even used the default template which comes with WP, adjusting nothing 
   and that style sheet is missing too.
 * So there are only 2 possibilities that I can think of:
 * 1. WP has upgraded and NO template is compatible for new users.
 * 2. Or when I clicked on “One Click” automatic installs through my server (Dream
   Host) that it does not install properly. The user does not have to do anything
   but click.
 * Along with the above post ideas, I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling,
   still same problem.
 * Any ideas at all? I have to give up trying WP if I cant find an answer.

 * After deleting everything and installing 3 times I might have found an answer.
   This time I created the directory with a lower case letter. ALL the stylesheets
   are suddenly there.
