Change Custom Theme Name
Permalink
Hi there,
I created a new theme and it seems to be working well. However, I have noticed a mistake I made. When I created the new folder for my theme, I called it Christmas Cracker with capitals and a space. I know this isnt the best idea, so I have tried to rename this to christmas_cracker but when i do, it says it cannot find any of the theme files and the theme no longer works. Any ideas?

uninstall the theme, change the name of it and re upload and install it again!!
will doing this undo all the text etc I have added? I have basically made my site with this theme before noticing this
If you feel safer doing so, having renamed your theme, upload it with the new name and install it. Activate the theme with the new name and after you see all is working you may simply uninstall the old theme.
Thank you for your time
