   Hello there!

   I already wrote a comment in the blueweed comment-section, not knowing that there was a forum especially for this kind of questions ...

   So my problem is that the 'newer' themes, namely blueweed and statement, do not appear in the 'design' section of the dashboard/acp, even on untouched default installations of Wordpress.
   At first i thought there might be a special trick setting up jai's themes - but bob, bobv2, Identity, limauorange and techicon work just fine for me.

   I uploaded the particular folders as usual into /wp-content/themes/ and for statement I also tried to apply the breadcrumb-plugin ... but there I also have the problem that I cannot choose it from the dashboard-menu, although uploading the plugin went absolutely fine.

   [addition] I'm running Wordpress 2.5.1 on a localhost environment for testing and developing purposes (Mac OS X/10.4.11, Apache/1.3.41 (Darwin), PHP/5.2.1, MySQL-API/5.0.24a).

   Please help me - I'm desperately looking forward to your answers, suggestions and hopefully the solution for my problem!

   Greetings,
   Claire

   Check if there is not a folder in a folder when you are extracting the theme to your wp-content/themes. For example, check if there is not another blueweed folder in blueweed :) Hope I am making sense because sometimes this mistake happens when you extract a zip file.

   Thanks for your response, Jai!

   Unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem, as there is no nested subfolder with the same name containing the data. The structure is /wp-content/themes/blueweed/[files.ext] and I can't think of any reason why the folder shouldn't be recognized by Wordpress ...

   [ADDITION/SOLUTION]

   Gosh! I just found the reason for my problem. Instead of extracting the zip-file with "BetterZip" I now used the "StuffIt Expander" and _it works_ !!!

   I'm so happy :) Thank you very much anyway - you led me the way ;)

   Greetings,
