I don't know what I'm doing wrong... and it is really, really getting on my nerves :(

As mentioned in the Drupal 6 theme guide, whenever you add a new template or override to your theme you need to clear the theme registry for Drupal to know about it.

I got it sorted - the lines in the .info file were in the wrong order

But still no progress.

Here's my .info-code. In case you see something in the wrong order: shout.

I'm following this video tutorial.

I had it -somewhat- working before, but that was in combination with the Zen-theme. It was a jungle, believe me. That's why I wanted to start clear off from the very beginning instead copying files and code without knowing what I was doing.

Copied the .info-code from the Zen-theme once again and it seems to be working now.

I have no idea what's the relevant difference between the two codes. This is how it looks like now:

Changed the order of the last block (Information added by drupal.org packaging script on 2008-09-15) to find out if that was the problem. No difference. I hate it when things work or fail for no obvious reason.

So if someone could explain this, I will be listening.

I am having similar issues. I have a zen subtheme and have copied zen's page.tpl.php file into the subtheme folder, but can't see to get it recognized.

I've tried adding:

engine=phptemplate

I've made numerous attempts at rebuilding the cache.

Nothing working yet.

I notice in your example above you don't have the 'base theme' instruction. When I tried to remove this from mine, the thing fell over.

Anyway, any help much appreciated.

Go to admin > settings > performance

And hit clear cache. It fixed this problem for me.

Only took 2 hours for me to figure it out because I didnt' clue in I'd have to clear it even though I had caching turned off and 'rebuild theme registery' set to rebuild on every page load.

Hate drupal sometimes :D
