Location of Installed Themes
Permalink 1 user found helpful
I have been searching for an answer to where installed themes get placed after being downloaded and installed from the dashboard. What is the directory? I am trying to design a theme from the skeleton theme: "Stripped" by Steven Braun at C5themepark.com
Is there a better way to do this? Are there any further improved methods that can be utilized to completely design a theme from the ground up other than design one from a skeleton theme?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Okay, so I'm in the theme in that directory, but I'm having trouble working with the CSS. Is there any handy snippet of code (for this skeleton template) that will cause my menu to be horizontal? A general answer is just fine, I am surely able to figure it out from there.
I'll add that if you intend to modify a packaged theme, you really should copy it out of the SITE_ROOT/packages/ directory and paste it into SITE_ROOT/themes and make your changes there, giving it a new name in description.txt and a new handle (folder name).
If you edit in-place, and then upgrade the packaged theme sometime in the future, your modifications will get moved to the trash and replaced with new code. That can be confusing.

That's a REALLY good thing to know!
Themes can be distributed as themes or packages.
When installed, these exist at the user level:
/MySitesRootFolder/themes/Themexxxx
