I don’t have shell access.

Also, the URLs you posted above were incorrect. The custom theme is promoforums, not promomachines.

In any case, I ended up scrapping the original installation and starting from scratch, and it all works just fine now.

Thanks for your help, guys — I appreciate it!

here’s three shots — one for each directory level, with the “get info” dialog alongside:

Root Directory (showing bbPress folder permissions):

bbPress Directory (showing my-templates folder permissions):

my-templates Directory (showing promoforums folder permissions):

promoforums Directory (showing style.css file permissions):

I don’t know how to get a listing of the directory files w/ permissions. Is it something I can terminal to?

I’m using Fetch as my FTP client, and I’ve checked (and re-checked, and re-re-checked) the permissions using that tool several times now.

Here’s how the appearance/themes-selection screen looks — it’s as if I had no custom template uploaded at all.

There is only one bbPress installation on the server.

Here’s the link to my css header: http://pastebin.com/SHDHMWxv

I do have a screenshot.png (should I get rid of it?)

I’m not sure what you mean by posting a shot of the themes selection — do you mean a screencap of the “appearance” panel?

[saraw]

Well, I just combined all of my various CSS into style.css, and that had no effect.

I’m totally stumped…

[saraw]

Just thought of something — my style.css file refers via @import to a suite of stylesheets that are contained within a “styles” directory located in my theme folder with (755 permissions). Could that be the problem?

[saraw]

Yes, that’s how it’s structured:

my-templates (755)

–promoforums (755)

—-style.css (755)

—-theme .php files (644)

This was working fine on my local testing server (MAMP); is there any other way to import a custom theme (I’m wondering if something is being garbled during the FTP upload)…?

[saraw]

I’m having the same problem with my custom template; I’m using a recent install of bbPress 1.0.2, and have uploaded my theme to the my-templates directory (I tried it in the bb-templates directory too, as a test) and have checked the directory structure to make sure that’s ok, my style.css header is correct, my permissions seem to be correct (755 on all folders/sub-folders, 644 on all files), there is no mod_security going on with my host… and yet, my theme does not appear in the “appearance” panel of the admin.

Are there any other details I should check? I need to get this sorted or my client will be unhappy.

Thanks –

Sara
