 * I have a problem with a theme i am trying to put into effect on my blog
 * it gives me this error:
 * Broken Theme
    dark-tuts/style.css File not readable.
 * But i don’t understand it, because its readable by everyone (check here :
    [http://blog.crambu.com/wp-content/themes/dark-tuts/style.css](http://blog.crambu.com/wp-content/themes/dark-tuts/style.css))
 * any help is greatly appreciated
 * Thanks

 * That’s the problem: I can’t. Because as soon as I go to “appearances”, it says
   there’s a broken theme, and shows me that information
 * Thanks for helping with me

 * There might be some files missing I would guess, can you re-upload the theme 
   maybe?

 * may be the theme which are you going to enter is incorrect or it has a virus 
   file which you are going to upload there……

 * I reloaded the theme, (which can be downloaded here [http://www.wpexplorer.com/dark-tuts-wordpress-theme.html](http://www.wpexplorer.com/dark-tuts-wordpress-theme.html))
 * and the same thing happened.
 * And its not a virus, because i’ve opened the file and its pure CSS and i’ve run
   a php function that tells you what type of file it is (through file MIME), and
   its CSS.
 * Gah!
 * Any suggestions?
 * Thanks

 * UPDATE:
 * I tried this theme too ([http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/lightword](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/lightword)),
   and its doing the same thing.
 * So its likely not the templates, but rather my system
 * And chmod the css files to 777 doesn’t work either…

 * I am looking at [http://blog.crambu.com](http://blog.crambu.com) and default 
   WordPress works great, which makes me think that WordPress functions properly.
   Must be something with the themes. When you download the theme, please check 
   the theme compatibility as well.
