Everytime I install a theme they don't work.
I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong.
I'm running PHP5, latest pn, and Autolite .8.
Where should I be extracting these themes to? I'm sticking them under {Post Nuke root}/Themes/
Am I missing any steps?

Do the stock themes that came with PostNuke whatever version you have work? Also, did you go into Admin Panel - Modules and initialise and activate AutoTheme? Im not trying to be funny or a smartass. These things happen.
Please give us a few more details if you could suchas the version of pn and what themes you are attempting to make happen. It makes it easier for us to work the problem.  |

| AutoTheme lite .8 doesn't work with PHP5 yet. |

So, can I make a theme work without AutoTheme lite?
All the themes that came with postnuke work just fine, just not any I add.
I tried adding simplywhite and ambertech. Both look like they are missing the images. |

| You could, I think, uninstall autotheme .8 and go back to .7 then you should be able to use any of the .7 themes. |

Alright, I put PostNuke 0.7.5 on a server running PHP 4.3.3. I installed Autolite .8.
I then put Simplywhite and ambertech in the themes folder. When I made them the default theme, I get no header, sidebar, and no footer. Just a little '>' in the upper left corner.
The theme 'AutoTheme' works just fine.
Any suggestions? |

| Copy theme.cfg from AutoTheme to the simplywhite and ambertech folders. |

Is theme.cfg world writable?
You need to have 777 set for permissions on theme.cfg
If that doesn't fix it, create a temporary admin account and PM me the login info and site link, and I'll take a look. |
