 * Hi,
 * I just installed wordpress using the fantastico installer I installed the wordpress
   in a dir called wp.
 * when I click on presentation to view available themes here is what it is showing:
   
   Current Theme Array Array by Array
 * Array
 * All of this theme’s files are located in Array.
 * I also downloaded two additional themes and uploaded them to the /public_html/
   wp/wp-content/themes dir here is what it shows in my admin:
 * The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet
   and a template.
    Name Description Almost Spring Template is missing. NightLight
   Idea Template is missing. WordPress Classic Template is missing. WordPress Default
   Template is missing.

 * No! Problem solved. From where problem is come I don’t know. All files downloaded
   from this site (v.2.2.2) and WP installed as writed in readme. I have solwed 
   problem by this way:
 * in css file add one string
 * /*
    **Template: classic** Theme Name: WordPress Classic Theme URI: [http://wordpress.org/](http://wordpress.org/)
   Description: The original WordPress theme that graced versions 1.2.x and prior.
   Version: 1.5 Author: Dave Shea */

 * I’m having the same problem and happy to find this fix from you, zilonitiz – 
   and it sounds simple enough!
 * BUT at the risk of asking a stupid question – I have several css files – **which**
   css file would I add this to?
 * Thank you!!

 * Well, my doh! I added the string to the css file and uploaded it to the directory
   but it didn’t work for me… so I’m back to square one, darnit.
