    I just moved my local site to a subdomain. Everything was working fine until suddenly all my uploads appeared as broken links. I was able to research that issue and fixed it with permissions. Then suddenly I can’t visit my site because “The theme directory “CORE” does not exist.”

    I’ve looked through several other posts on the topic, but I haven’t found my answer yet. Thanks for your help.

    some other helpful information:
    I can access the dashboard
    none of the default themes that I have installed are showing up

    maybe permissions still on the sub folders such as theme.

    Agreed. There are “403 Forbidden” responses from

    Thanks for the help friends.

    ok, so I upped the permissions to 775 on both the themes folder and the CORE folder. Now my themes are available again, but once I select my theme (CORE) I get the following message:

    Warning: require(/home/coreusa/public_html/temp/wp-content/themes/CORE/inc/accesspress-header.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/coreusa/public_html/temp/wp-content/themes/CORE/functions.php on line 193

    Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required ‘/home/coreusa/public_html/temp/wp-content/themes/CORE/inc/accesspress-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/coreusa/public_html/temp/wp-content/themes/CORE/functions.php on line 193

    It seems straight forward enough – I can find the functions.php file, and I can find line 193, but what do I do when I get there?

    It just looks like file access is still being denied. File permissions?

    Venesh,

    My problem was that my FTP program changed the permissions on a lot of things when I uploaded my local site to my server. My solution was to navigate to the folders that contained the images that appeared to be broken and change the permissions so that the user could access (view) them.

    It is important to not allow too much access – read this:

    So you mean to give 755 to all the files in WP-content/themes/*

    Well, you can start there if you want, but be sure to read up and really understand what the info in that link is talking about. Permissions help keep your site safe, so don’t leave any doors open that don’t need to be.
