# Theme not found

 * I download the default theme from my blog.
    I edit the first few lines of the
   style.css, because I want to develop my own theme. I only change the author information,
   but leave everything else intact. I then remove the default theme from my server
   and upload the new theme.
 * The theme is not found in the theme selector of the blog.
 * Solution?

 * The system is looking for information on the original theme from header.php which
   is no longer there. Hence – it can’t display anything.

 * What do you mean, it’s not there.
    I changed the author name, the author url 
   etc. But I did not remove that information.
 * Besides, I downloaded another theme called “inove” and it was not found, either.
 * I am beginning to think there are some incompatibilities with this new wordpress
   version.
