Thread: Getting error when I try to activate theme

Getting error when I try to activate theme

I bought the single license version, downloaded it successfully, unzipped/extracted all files to my computer, and then uploaded it via FTP to my host (mediatemple.net), and I uploaded the file to my WordPress>Themes file.

When I logged into my WordPress account to activate the ClassiPress theme, I clicked the activate button then tried to view my blog and it gave me the following fatal error.

Warning: main(/nfs/c05/h01/mnt/69903/domains/darkcattle.com/html/wp-content/wp-config.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /nfs/c05/h01/mnt/69903/domains/darkcattle.com/html/wp-content/themes/classipress-2.9.1-single-no-credit (1)/classipress/classifiedform/classifiedform.class.php on line 3

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/nfs/c05/h01/mnt/69903/domains/darkcattle.com/html/wp-content/wp-config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php-4.4.8-1/share/pear') in /nfs/c05/h01/mnt/69903/domains/darkcattle.com/html/wp-content/themes/classipress-2.9.1-single-no-credit (1)/classipress/classifiedform/classifiedform.class.php on line 3

Anyone have any tips? I even ended up deleting the classipress files and I had to delete the WordPress files from my host and PC. Then I re-download both again, once I activated the theme again I got the same error.

I left it installed this time so that someone here could view it and hopefully help me out.

My URL is: http://DarkCattle.com

Re: Getting error when I try to activate theme

Rename the theme directory from "classipress-2.9.1-single-no-credit (1)" to just "classipress". That should fix it.

Thanks,

I renamed the folder classipress but I'm still getting the error when I try to activate the theme.

This is how I have the folders set up in my host: Server Home/domains/darkcattle.com/html/wp-content/themes/classipress

Any other thoughts? I've downloaded and installed classipress twice (I deleted the first download from my host before I uploaded the second classipress install).

Re: Getting error when I try to activate theme

Ok, I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was just trying to FTP the entire ClassiPress download into the themes folder. I fixed this by opening up the main zip file, extracting all files, then uploading the "classipress" file to my host's WP-themes directory. Then I put the "plugins" folder that came with classipress into my hosts WP-plugins directory and activated the classipress theme through my wordpress admin.

Was this correct?

Also, what should I do with the psds file that came with ClassiPress? RIght now it's sitting in my WP-Themes directory. Should I move it to WP-Images directory?

Re: Getting error when I try to activate theme

The psds are there if you want to make visual changes.
Remove them from your server and keep them local if you want to use them.
