Troubleshooting

a) The theme is not showing up. It looks like the default theme with a few different images.

If you find the theme does not display properly, please manually adjust your theme path settings.

1. Open admin and go to Themes and Layouts.
2. Select Themes and Settings from the top menu.
3. Click on theme title link (ex: "Green Ornamental").
4. Under Themes URLs and Configuration there are three url paths. Replace classic with THEME_NAME (ex:classic_red) for both the images and directory urls.
5. Go down to the bottom of the page and click Save.
6. The theme should now display properly!

Note: When I use the term THEME_NAME, I want you to replace it with the directory of the theme (which will most likely be the same as the name for the .zip file, such as classic_red or green-ornamental.)

b) The theme is showing up, but the menu graphics are showing up as text or broken.

If the English buttons are not showing up-- or rather, showing up as text-- perform the following tasks:

1. Open your forum.
2. Right-click on one of the images that shows up as text. Click Properties.
3. Note the image path url. It is most likely Themes/THEME_NAME/images/english/, but if you are installing for a different language it will be Themes/THEME_NAME/images/OTHER_LANGUAGE/
4. Using your preferred FTP software:
a) Copy the files from:
Themes/THEME_NAME/images/english/
b) Paste them into:
Themes/THEME_NAME/images/OTHER_LANGUAGE/
5. That should do the trick!

If you're using the English language, it's most likely because you have the forum set for English UTF8. Copy the files from /images/english into the /images/english-utf8/ folder.

If you theme will still not display, it is most likely because it is not compatible with your version of SMF. I no longer maintain these themes for new versions of SMF, but if you have any problems that need addressing please don't hesitate to contact me.
