Theme installs but won't display.

Permalink
Hi there,

Sorry if this is a simple fix but I have been scouring the forums and can't really find an answer.

The problem is that any theme that I try fails. I have tried adding it to my concrete folder via ftp as well as using the concrete site itself. It shows up in the add-on's section but with the thumbnail displaying and everything. After I hit install everything is as normal but the thumbnail image disappears and when I go to activate the theme it fails to work. The text and images just vomit onto the page in order with, what to me looks like no css working. I attached a picture of what displays and it seems like it doesn't even activate or anything.

Keep in mind I am fairly new to this but I have tried installing in the packages and themes folders, in both the 1st and 2nd level of concrete5 and neither work. Hoping somebody can help me out :D

Using Concrete5.4.2.1
Hosting with Godaddy

I figured it out! I'm not sure the exact solution but it was one or both of the two things that I did. Pretty sure that I just had some file permissions not enabled so that when downloading and installing the theme it wouldn't write to the file. (Not sure if that makes sense technically) The other was uninstalling and re-installing it again but I did that a hundred times with no success so I am going for number one.

Cheers.
