How do you install a theme?
Permalink
Or more to the point, I uploaded a theme but nothing is showing up in admin panel to allow me to install it.
Is there a trick to it?

Please tell me where you found the screencast.
Downloaded a theme and installed it ok, but it appears nowhere in either of the theme folders.
What the hell is going on?

I have the same problem: I create the theme and upload it in the themes folder. But it does not appear in the themes page in dashboard.
Annoyingly there are several folders called themes.
Try installing it in the top level folder.
Also, if you haven't already watched the screencast on themes check it out.
Not sure exactly where it is, so you'llhave to look for it.

I did copy the folder in the right place. I followed the video and the writen tutorials. It just don't apears in dashboard...
I even tried with other themes from marketplace with no result.

For others with the same question: Don't copy the new theme to the /concrete/themes folder (you should see the default themes that came with the installation here).
Copy the new theme folder to /themes in the root directory. It should be empty before you add your folder.
Happy theme-ing!

Copying a theme directly into the themes folders is correct ONLY if the theme is not set up as a package.
With the later versions of Concrete5 (5.3.x I believe), the thought process was to have all themes (and everything else) be installed to Concrete5 via a package. This allows easier installation for themes bought from the marketplace.
If the theme is built with this in mind, you need to ftp your new theme (if not from the marketplace and is still in a package format) to the root/packages directory and add it via "Add Functionality" from the Admin Panel and then access it (or activate it) via the "Pages and Themes" from the Admin Panel.
Again, if it is a theme not set up as a package, it goes directly into the root/themes folder.

Hi!
I uploaded my theme to the root/themes folder but I don´t see the thumbnail and the site is looking for the default.css file at
<style type="text/css">@import "/concrete/css/ccm.default.theme.css";</style>
although i set it to <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?=$this->getThemePath()?>/default.css" />
What can I do? I attach a pic.
Thanx

Not exactly easy to find.
Doing a search for it brings up nothing.
