New Business Theme

Permalink
Hello all,

I'm very new at concrete5 (like 2days old). I've used Joomla and MODx in the past. I'm fairly adept in HTML & CSS, and trying to learn this seemingly more user friendly CMS.

I purchased the business theme template, installed it, didn't look like the demo, so I proceeded to make it look that way. Kind of jacked things up a bit, so I decided to start from scratch to backtrack and see what not to do wrong this time.

Once I removed the template from my list of themes (thinking this was the best way to start from scratch), I even wiped my directory and database, and re-installed concrete5 from scratch (backed up directory of course before attemptting any of these).

Now the business theme is located in my packages directory, along with another theme I downloaded, but neither of these two themes are showing up in my list of themes from the dashboard area.

How can I rectify this please? I hope my explanation has been thorough enough.

Packages will need to be installed, which will install the theme. You should then be able to sees them in the pages & themes section of your dashboard.

Hope that helps.

thanks for the help formigo

I finally figured it out, I had to go to Dashboard and click on Extend Concrete5, or click on the Install link, and BAM!, there they were :).
