Version 2.2 Won't Install

[teds31]

Every time I try to install 2.2 I get the following error message\

Unpacking the package…

Installing the theme…

Destination folder already exists. /home/teds31/public_html/wp-content/themes/socrates/

Theme install failed.

Yet 2.1 is the only active theme I have right now. What am I doing wrong? Would very much appreciate your help. Thank you.

I think what you need to do is deactivate the version of socrates you have installed. Once its deactivated, delete it. This will return you to the default theme. Then you should be able to install.

There is a sticky about this somewhere.

Found it


If you would like to upgrade your current install here’s how to do it.

1. Save any custom css, headers or backgrounds to your desktop
2. Download Version 2.1 Zip
3. Open your domain’s Wordpress dashboard
4. Goto Appearance > Themes and activate another theme… “default” is fine.
5. Once Socrates is inactive “delete it” (you won’t lose settings)
6. Goto Appearance > Add New Themes then click “upload”
7. Locate Zip file on hard drive and upload
8. Activate Socrates
9. Use Activation Code above to validate your license.
10. Check your headers and reupload any custom header or backgrounds



That search box is a wonderful thing!!

Hi;

I tried a new install on a new website with latest version of Wordpress set up and default theme in place.

I received this error message: "Unpacking the package…

Installing the theme…

Could not copy file. /public_html/wp-content/themes/socrates/background-images/yellowTexture.gif

Theme install failed."

>>I then tried to "delete it" - No such option in Admin for wordpress. It said my Socrates theme was "broken"

>>I then tried to reinstall Socrates 2.2 and got this: "Unpacking the package…

Could not copy file. /public_html/wp-content/upgrade/socrates-2.2.12/"

>>Is there a way to manually install the theme files using Smart FTP?

Thx,

Dan
