Uploaded theme help!
Permalink
I uploaded my theme to the "theme" directory via FTP, but when I go to my dashboard to activate/install the theme, it does not show up? Any suggestions?
This has been answered on the posts you made earlier today
No it has not? Any suggestions?
Sorry if I sounded brusque on my first reply. I honestly thought it had been addressed. Are you able to give us anything to view? Your problem is awfully vague and I'm already too prone to guessing at things :)
Is there a link to your site, anyway to view your theme? I assumed (incorrectly it appears) that you were installing a purchased package. If it is custom, is there any possibility of help from the theme developer or is it a theme you developed yourself?

Does the theme meet theme 'requirements'?
Did you put the theme the root 'themes' directory, is the 'theme' within a 'themes' folder, in the 'theme' folder do you have a 'description.txt', a 'thumbnail.png' and all associated files and folders?

Yes to all of those questions.
Yes, what 55webdesign said are all important things to check.
If you theme does not have a description.txt file it will still show up in your theme area, only without a name or description. But if your theme is not in the right place it's likely it won't show up at all. Make sure it's in your root's theme directory. Meaning if your site is "example.com" you would FTP into your Concrete5 install on example.com and the straight into the theme directory.
The cache could also be causing problems, so be sure to clear that (@ Dashboard > System and Settings > Optimization > Clear Cache)
Hopefully this helps. Good luck. Don't give up!

It has everything, just cleared the cache, still nothing.
Are the folders permissions set to 755?
I finally got the theme installed and activated, but now I am unable to go into edit mode?
Javascript conflict?
