Blank page on theme selector

Blank page on theme selector

Hi Everyone,

I am being brave and looking to develop a theme for my workplace...

We are running the latest 2.5 build and I have copied the clean theme, renamed everything I think I need to but when I put the files on the server I cannot get to the theme selector to select it... I get an instant 500 error and a blank page.

I have run through the Notifications check and this installed it a few attempts ago, but doesn't prompt me to now...

Any thoughts?

The name of the theme is simple ccnew... I have attached a zip of it as well

Hi John,

You haven't renamed everything correctly and this is probably causing the error - you could try turning on developer level error reporting for more detail.

I haven't gone right through everything yet, but the ones I have seen are:

config.php still refers to clean_process_css

lib.php all the functions are still named clean_ and have not been renamed

You may also need to remove the MACOSX folder as I seem to remember this causing problems in the past.

Hi John,

You put "simple ccnew" as the name of the theme. If that is how you have written it, and not just a typo here, then this is probably why it has stalled.

You need to either make it one word or add an underscor to separate the two words like so...

simple_ccnew

Cheers

Mary

Hi Mary,

In the code John has the name as ccnew (in most places) - I think the line in his post is probably a typo and should have said

The name of the theme is simply ccnew

:D
