Template trouble

Hi,

I've just uploaded the pure green template theme to my server and selected it in my zen cart admin>tools>template selection and then layout boxes controller>then reset.

Basically when i click on my site its blank,could something be interfering with my new template making it blank?

Bearing in mine the only other template installed on my server is the zencart classic.

Thanks,pringle.

Re: Template trouble

Tutorials for blank page - usually a faulty file upload

Does classic still display?

Re: Template trouble

Think i'll just stick to the default theme:( ,,deleted it then installed it,it isn't even showing in the tools>template selection area now. :frusty:

Why would it not show in here?

thanks,pringle.

Re: Template trouble

It won't show in there unless you have the template_info.php file in your includes>templates>your_template folder

Re: Template trouble

You've put all the files, including the folder wrapped around them in the template folder. This isn't correct.

I suggest going back to the readme file that comes with the template and rereading it and then install as instructed there.

Re: Template trouble

If you extracted the file and have a folder named as you posted

ocean_front v2-0

You did not follow the instructions correctly
