You are using one of the "PURE" series templates, which are OK, and generally easy to configure.

I think you may not have loaded it correctly, or some of the files may not have gone to the server 100%.

You could try RE-SENDING the template to the server, over-writing all files from the original loading.

You should not "drill down" when uploading a module or template UNLESS the README file suggests you do so.

or rather... if you DO drill down into the folders, you MUST upload every folder and file to its respective position on the server.

With a template file, usually all that is needed is to highlight the INCLUDES folder of the module, make sure you can see your main INCLUDES folder on the server, then just click the arrow.

Best REMOVE the stuff you loaded as much of it may be in the wrong places, and start again.

As I said... just make sure you are at the right level, then send the whole includes folder across.

hi

i tried what you said putting the includes folder in the includes directory it doesnt even show it on the tools templates section now

ive uploaded another one to the old bit i told you about and this one isnt showing buttons properly im really confused what am i doing so wrong...

No... you dont PUT the includes folder inside the includes folder...

You will then have:

includes
|_ includes


On your FTP program you must have TWO panes.

LEFT PANE (your hard drive)

RIGHT PANE (your server)

In your LEFT PANE, just HIGHLIGHT that includes folder.

Make sure you can SEE the includes folder on your server in the RIGHT framce.

Then just click the little arrow in the middle of the two panes to send the includes folder CONTENTS to the server.
