Help With Theme Setup
Permalink
I found a guide (the official one, I think) and was pretty sure I followed it exactly, but my theme isn't working correctly - I *think* that I uploaded it too soon, and now I can't seem to make changes, like adding the editable areas, and adding the concrete5 bar at the top. Uninstalling, uploading, and reinstalling the theme didn't seem to help. I'm thoroughly confused!
Can you zip up and attach your theme files so we can take a look? We'll need to know more before we can help you.
Files:
default.php
default.css
view.php
thumbnail.jpg
description.txt
All required images

It looks like you're missing some page types in your theme. I'm willing to bet your site has pages that have page types assigned to them already.
Can you login to your Dashboard, then go to Pages & Themes and then go to Page Types on the top bar. Let me know what's listed there for page types.
If you copied the theme, I would be surprised if there wasn't files in there called something like home.php or left_sidebar.php. Those are page types, which are really just separate layouts of a single theme.
You can create page type files easily by copying default.php and renaming the new file to the handle of the page type you need.
Let's just start with seeing what page types are on your site now as requested above.

I used a .html template and customized it, but it wasn't concrete5 ready, so it didn't have different layouts. I'm in the process of making them, although I didn't realize what they were called before = )
leftsidebar and page are the types I have in my admin panel. I'm guessing if I make a page.php, it'll start to work correctly then? That's my default type.

Yeah, that should work. You'll probably want one for leftsidebar as well. It really depends on what your new/current pages are set to.
You can check this in Dashboard > Sitemap
Click on a page, then click Design. It will show you what page type is selected at the top.

It's finally working, thank you so much!
