I've upgraded from 4.6.5 to 4.7.2. It seemed to go fine until I tried to install some new themes. I downloaded one and it shows up in the list, but there's no screenshot and when I select it as the default, my blocks disappear and there's no styling whatsoever. Here's a screenshot: http://www.brynmawr.edu/etc/drupalscreen.jpg

I've looked in the page source and it appears that the stylesheet is not being pulled. I can't figure out what the problem is. The default themes included with the install work (see http://blogs.brynmawr.edu) but any I download do not. I've checked to make sure the themes are compatible with 4.7. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem you are. I've installed drupal on my home laptop and on my work computer. The themes add just fine on the home laptop, but are not showing up when added on the work computer. I'm going to bring my laptop in and really try to figure out with the difference is, but I'm going on vacation soon, so it may be mid-July before I get a real chance to play with it.

I had a friend suggest that it was a problem with permissions. Right-click on your themes folder to bring up the "properties" menu. The "security" tab should have an IUSR_SOMETHING user that has "Full Access" to change things. I didn't have the IUSR listed, so I added it and set the permissions accordingly, but no luck on getting the themes to show up. You might want to try playing with permissions, though. Maybe you'll see something I don't.

Let me know if you figure something out. And I'll do the same.

Good luck!

Rosemary, turned out to be an ownership problem. To install things, I use sudo which makes anything I install owned by root. The scripts don't like that, so I had to change the owner to one that owns the script. Once I did that it was fine!

I'm glad you figured out your problem. I'm a bit unclear on how ownership works, though. You're changing the owner of the theme that you install? Or the owner of something else? How do you make that change?
