Weird. I was killing myself digging through my code for days, but as it turns out, it was some kind of corrupted CSS file. My friend simply copy/pasted my CSS code into another fresh CSS doc and VIOLA! my theme was back, with no problems activating, and my templates were all intact. Bizarre. What’s also odd is that when the fixed CSS file brought back my templates and themes, my CSS was a little off in places, so I’m sorting through those changes now. Thanks anyway, forum.
I had this problem a while back and found one janky solution after a lot of search–sometimes switching to another theme in your install and then switching back to you primary theme will make your templates appear. I know that sounds weird, but worked for me for a while.
I thought I’d post and also offer no solution to this same problem. Would love to get this thing working.
