In lieu of theme screenshots I have the following text:

Screenshot for bluemarine theme
Screenshot for chameleon theme
Screenshot for chameleon theme
Screenshot for garland theme
Screenshot for marvin theme
Screenshot for minnelli theme
Screenshot for newsportal theme
Screenshot for pushbutton theme

This is on a new install of 5.6 in a multisite set up. Existing sites running off the same code base are not having this problem. They all display the screenshots properly and if I switch to the default Garland theme on one of them it renders just fine, but this is what the default Garland theme looks like on the aforementioned site....which is what has me stumped. If it's accessing the same code base and theme files, why are there no screenshots and why is Garland screwed up?

That was supposed to be showing < em > tags before and after each theme name, not *be* emphasized, ie:

Screenshot for < em > garland < / em > theme
Screenshot for < em > newsportal < / em > theme
etc.

You spend hour after hour searching and reading and reading and searching, and trying this and trying that, only to make no progress. So as a last resort, you reluctantly post your problem on the forum and then--bam!--you figure it out and feel like kicking yourself in the backside for 1) being so thick as to not 'see it' immediately from the get-go and 2) for feeling like a dip having a one-sided conversation with yourself on the Drupal forum.

So anyway, I figured out what the problem was. It just 'came to me' out of the blue today. I had recently (before adding the new site to my multisite set up) enabled HotLink Protection via cPanel. At the time I enabled it, it automatically added the URLs of all sites on my domain into the "allowed access" list. When I created the new site, I completely forgot about this HotLink Protection business and that, dear readers, is why I had no screenshots and the core themes weren't rendering properly. All better now...since I added the new site's URLs to the allowed list.

And to think, they've always said I was intelligent; and I used to believe them...until I met Drupal! LOL!

I want to say thanks for that. The same thing had happened to me. I almost gave up.

I searched for the tags that were being displayed (in Google) and came across your post.

There was an improvment after undoing the hotlink protection, but it wasn't perfect. My Cpanel controls had re-written into every htacces file some protections.

So I went in there and chopped out the last bit of the code that was inserted. Bingo! It worked.

Sometimes it's so easy to make these errors and very time consuming to undo.

Hi,

In the theme registry I see screenshots of all standard themes, but a mere Screenshot for <em>Zen</em>theme of the contributed Zen theme I installed myself.

Hotlink protection has been disabled. What else can it be?

Greetings, Bas

Remote file permissions of following directories must have been set to '755'.
sites
sites/default
sites/default/themes

It is the umpteenth time that a problem can be solved by chmod ;-)

Pozdrawiam, greetings & groeten, Bas
