I have installed Wordpress in my Godaddy hosting.Its working quite well except i cant upload a new theme. when i click Appearance > Themes and then add new nothing shows up. The only thing that shows up are the buttons featured , most popular etc but when i click them nothing happens. When i press the upload theme button nothing happens either. How do i fix this?
I have tried it switching the default theme, deactivating all plugin but nothing resolver the problem. Godaddy support says that i will get a conformatin mail after the installation process completed within 24hours. Its almost 24hours but i haven't got any conformation mail. What can i do?? Do i really need to wait for the conformation. i can visit my blog but cant upload any theme, whats going wrong??
You can add your theme directly in your Wordpress installation. For this go to public-html/wp-content/themes/ and drop your theme folder here. Remember that your theme files must not be in subfolders of the folder e.g. /themes/your-theme/theme-files-and-folders/
Had the same issue today and solved it using these steps:
Download the Theme .zip file to your machine.
In cPanel File Manager, navigate to your Themes folder. Depending on your hosting, path to Themes folder can differ a bit but essentially you are looking for public_html inside which you’ll find /wp-content/themes/.
Once you’re inside the Themes folder in cPanel File Manager, click on Upload and upload that .zip file you saved in Step 1.
Once the .zip file is uploaded, right click on the name of that file in cPanel and select Extract from the context menu.
Now you can refresh the WordPress themes page and you should be able to Activate it.
The issue was theme related. I just renamed my current theme and then the default theme was automatically activated. Then i was able to upload my zerif lite theme and its now working fine.
I have been through this issue and i have solved it!
it happens mainly when yu transfer wordpress database from another location!
Solution:
UNinstall and deactivate all themes! delete and re install! if you cant delete the theme due to modifications, decativate the theme switch to another new theme by installing from wordpress and then reverting back to old theme!
if the problem persists: Reset server!

My wordpress site was working fine , but wordpress update it to V 5.4 and after that my website is not working , not even i can access my admin dashboard.
I tried all these step to solve this
MANUAL INSTLLATION (RECOMMENDED)
Download the WP Safe Mode plugin and unzip it, you’ll now have a
wp-safe-mode folder.
Connect to your server (for example via FTP) and go to your website
folder.
Add this line to your wp-config.php file:
if( !defined('WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR') ) define( 'WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR',
dirname(__FILE__).'/wp-content/wp-safe-mode' ); //WP Safe Mode
Create the folder named wp-safe-mode inside your wp-contents folder.
Uploade the file wp-safe-mode/bootstrap/wp-safe-mode-loader.php into
the newly created wp-safe-mode folder.
Upload the entire wp-safe-mode folder to your plugins folder in
wp-content/plugins.
If your site is broken and you cannot install plugins or access the dashboard, you can modify the loader file temporarily to gain access by following these additional steps:
Open the plugin file wp-safe-mode-loader.php and change this line:
public $safe_mode_on = false;
to
public $safe_mode_on = true;
Upload the modified wp-safe-mode-loader.php file to the
wp-contents/plugins/wp-safe-mode folder.
Visit your site, deactivate plugins etc.
Undo the changes you just made to wp-safe-mode-loader.php when you
want to disable safe mode.
But nothing works for me. Can you please suggest something so i can fix my problem
Theme Conflict Troubleshoot:
To perform this, you just activate a default theme, like Twenty Nineteen. Unfortunately, because your site is showing an error, you will need to perform the troubleshoot with either your web host’s file manager (like cPanel’s Filemanager), or use FTP or sFTP (it’s like secure version of FTP.) It’s important to note that in switching themes, you won’t lose your chosen theme’s settings. To do this, you rename your active theme’s folder by adding DISABLE or OFF to the end of the folder’s name. For example, if you’re using Twenty Eighteen and the folder is ‘twentyeighteen’, you would name it ‘twentyeighteenDISABLE’ or ‘twentyeighteenOLD’ . Go back to the front of your site and refresh.
The objective is to check whether the mistake leaves. In the event that it doesn’t, it is anything but a subject issue. Try to rename the organizer back to its unique name when you’re finished investigating.
Plugin Conflict Troubleshoot
If it’s not the theme, it might be a plugin issue. In a way, troubleshooting is similar. However, it’s much easier to rename the plugin folder to ‘pluginsOFF’. Visit the site, and log-in. This will turn off all of the plugins. Please note that it won’t remove the original settings of those plugins, as they will be there when you reactivate them later on.
Once the plugins are off, go back and rename the folder back to ‘plugins’. Go to your WordPress admin area and reactivate each, one-by-one, until you get the screen that says “There has been a critical error on your website”. The plugin that you just reactivated, is the problem.
You can either disable the plugin that caused the problem or remove it or roll it back to the previous version using the rollback plugin and wait until the developer releases a new version of the plugin.
I am creating a Wordpress theme. I have index.php in my theme's root folder. I have my style.css in a separate folder /css. I've got the beginnings of the design done and everything is working fine.
I now want to add some options with Customizer. I've begun to add some in customizer.php. I then go to check what they look like in wp-admin, click "customize" on my theme and get...
"The active theme is broken. Reverting to the default theme."
The theme was working fine up until that point. I've deleted and re-installed it a couple of times now. All is well until I click "customize".
The error message instructs me to check index.php and style.css, both of which are present. Could it be because style.css is not in the root but in /css? If so, how do I get Customizer to recognise this? My stylesheet has been enqueued correctly in functions.php. As I say above, the theme works fine until I get involved with Customizer.
When I click theme details, wp seems to think the theme is a child of itself too. It isn't a child of anything. I am using underscores starter theme and adapting.
What is going on with Customizer and how do I fix it?
The style.css is a stylesheet (CSS) file required for every WordPress theme. It controls the presentation (visual design and layout) of the website pages. In order for WordPress to recognize the set of theme template files as a valid theme, the style.css file needs to be located in the root directory of your theme, not a sub-directory.
There must be connection lost when you update resulting to broken themes or missing files.
You need to reinstall a theme :
There are two ways to install WordPress themes.
Method 1.) Direct Upload inside WP Admin Console
Method 2.) Using an FTP Client
Method 1 is just a matter of uploading the theme from your WordPress admin console.
Once logged in, navigate to Appearance → Themes and click the "Install Themes" tab. Click the "Upload" link and browse to the location where you extracted the package and upload themename.zip.
Method 2 is pretty straightforward.
Using an FTP client is recommended. If the term FTP scares you, don't worry. It's no different than moving files and folders. Filezilla is a free and trusted FTP client.
Extract themename.zip to your local machine
Login via FTP to your web server and navigate to the /wp-content/themes/ folder
Upload the entire themename folder and its contents. Example: /wp-content/themes/yourtheme/
Open your browser, log in to your WP admin section and (in the left column under Appearance) click the Themes link .Click Activate under the theme you just uploaded.
I'm new to WordPress. I just successfully installed it on my site.
Now I'm trying to toy with creating my own custom theme. I created one with a custom index.php and a style.css. I zipped the folder, and uploaded it successfully from my WordPress admin by going to Themes > Appearance > Add New > Upload Theme, then browsing the zipped file. I activate the newly uploaded theme, and run my site's url, and lo and behold, the new theme gets loaded up in the browser. So far so good. But then when I look into my wp-content/themes folder in my web server through my ftp client, the newly uploaded theme isn't there. The default themes(twentyfifteen, twentysixteen and twentyseventeed) are all there but not my new theme. What could possibly be happening? Isn't that where the new theme should be?
Is there some crucial step in the installation of WordPress that I may have missed?
On the flip side, if I directly FTP to my new folder into the wp-content/themes folder in my web server, it doesn't show up in my Themes > Appearance page.
What gives? Please any hints/clues will be greatly appreciated.
To reveal weher is your theme
open your site
view page source in your browser (ctrl+u)
press ctrl+f to find this "wp-content/themes/" in the source
next word to "wp-content/themes/" is your loaded theme
There can be multiple WordPress installations on a single web server. Are you sure you are FTP'ing in to the correct web directory? Also, make sure you log in with the master credentials.
I'm logged in as the administrator,
my site is self-hosted (the url is www.domain.com )
I'm not the one who built the site and I cant contact him,
this is the first time that I'm trying to install a plugin so I have never checked if it exists or not before today.
the problem is in the local version and in the online version.
thanks :-)
Since your site is self-hosted, you can navigate to the folder wp-content -> plugins and add "zzzzz_" to the front of all plugins. This will disable all plugins without breaking anything. From there, see if your Plugins tab returns in the WordPress backend. If nothing happens, change the naming structure back.
After that, you'll want to download all of the files from your theme, which can be found in wp-content -> themes -> YOUR_THEME_NAME. From there, download the files, and KEEP A BACKUP. The file you'll be looking for in your theme is functions.php. Use CTRL + F (or whatever the search is in your favorite text editor) and find remove_menu_page( or add_action('admin_menu'. You'll want to look for something referencing plugins. This site has some information on how to remove the plugins tab. There should be code using some of these functions specifically set to remove the plugins menu from your admin.
Try to disable all plugins, and see if the tab return
You can do this only in this way: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-wp-admin/
Try to change theme,too.
I have installed a fresh copy of wordpress on a windows XAMPP server. I configured the wp-config file and ran the install script. All is ok, and I am able to view my new wordpress site and login to admin area.
However - when I go to Appearance->themes - the current theme is set to TwentyTwelve and in the lower section the "Available Themes" does not show ANY themes.
After this I copied a new theme to the themes folder (which was working on a WP install on my test server at work) and that doesn't show up either.
Can anyone tell me how to make the other default theme (TwentyEleven) and more importantly my own built themes, appear as being available?
Thanks :)
Try to change the theme folder permissions to 777
style.css is very important for a theme.
You should check either style.css exists or not.
If No, try install wordpress again.
If Yes, then there might be the issue of File Permissions.
Set file permissions from below.
