helloo,

i've made drupal custom themes before, but for some reason it's just not working this time. And i've searched way too long for an answer. I figured some fresh brains might help.

I understand that all custom themes go under sites > all > themes. So I tried copying blue marine and downloading zen theme into that folder.
But after i choose either one of those as the default theme, it only shows the content, but no images. well yes, the logo. But no background images, no background images from the CSS files seem to be showing up. They are on the server, just not showing up.

Also, i tried inserting a couple DIV's into the page.tpl.php but also did not show up.

very frustrating, i'm not sure if im overlooking something... i tried reinstalling tooo....

Thanks !!

Rather than delete solved post, we prefer if users explain how it was solved in case someone has the same problem and can learn from the post.

not 100% sure, but what i ended up doing was copying the default bluemarine template, and changed up the entire .info file. I THINK it was a small typo in the .info file that caused this error. Not completely sure though! But it works now!

not correct folder and files permissions was my case:
uploading a theme from my local ubuntu machine to the live server cause some weird effects (background images missing, some style sheets as well), found the answer here:
