    Default Can't seem to get template on the admin/tools/template selection

    Hi ya'll,
    I am having a serious noob problem. I'm using 1.3.9 zen and I've been trying for days to install templates-pinkywinky, mystic river, and ocean front just to see if one worked better than the other. I've follow what I thought was the install instructions, but I can seem to get the templates to show up in zencart's admin-tools-template selection area. I use filezilla and I've uploaded the includes folder to the remote site-/includes/templates but still nothing!!! please help!!!
    P.S. if this has been discussed before I didn't find it and I'm sorry!!

    I can't speak to those particular templates, but in most cases, the includes folder from the template package would be uploaded to the root directory of your site, not /templates.

    If you look through the template package folders, you'll see that the whole necessary directory 'tree' is already included.

    In most cases, the root directory is public_html, unless you've installed Zencart in a subdirectory like /store, then that would be the root. In any case, drop the includes folder from the template package in the same directory where your (renamed) admin folder resides.

    I have the EXACT same problem, but none of those solutions worked I use v1.5.0 and I have FileZilla. I have uploaded 2 Zen Cart templates. They are now in these folders:
    public_html
    in public_html/store
    public_html/store/includes
    public_html/includes/templates.
    The only place it doesnt show is public_html/store/includes/templates, but I put it there too.

    Your set-up looks like it would be if you had two zencarts: 1. One in your root under public_html and 2. another under public_html/store.

    A link or non-text address to your site always helps. I don't know why so many don't do this right off when asking for help.
