   Hi community,

   Happy new year everybody :)

   Just installed bbPress 1.0.2 to complete a Wordpress 2.9 installation. I'm trying to add custom themes, as indicated in all tutorials i could find. This is what i did :
   - created a my-templates directory at the root of the forum (same level than b-templates)
   - uploaded the custom themes into this directory - themes coming from several repository on the Web, none that i did myself.

   Then I cannot see any of my themes on the "appearance" tab in the admin. I tried to upload raw zip files or extracted directory but nothing is detected.

   Any help is greatly appreciated !
   Thanks,

   Jeremy

   The permissions of the bb-templates folder should be 0755. Same for the folder the theme is in as well. Files in the theme folder should be 0644. Is all that true?

   Great ! It works now.

   It appears that using the Gnome Nautilus integrated FTP function doesn't respect permissions by default, I re-uploaded every file with FileZilla and everything is OK (even if files are set by default with a 604 permission in filezilla, instead of 644 as you suggested. Looks OK though ?)

   Thanks again chrishajer.

   604 is a weird permission. That's:

   owner: read/write
   group: nothing
   everyong: read

   My guess is that you're the owner and only the 6 here matters. You could probably use 0600 and it would work (assuming you ARE the owner.) I can't even see how the 0 would matter, since everyone can read, but not if you're in the group. Makes no sense.

   Anyway, so long as the directory is 0755, you'll be able to get into the directory.
