Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem i keep getting this error and everything in my .info looks fine, i cant figure it out.

this is the error i get
This version is not compatible with Drupal 7.x and should be replaced.

This is my .info file
name = theme1
description = 1st test theme
core = 7.x
engine = phptemplate
stylesheets[all][]= style.css
regions[left] = Left Sidebar
regions[right] = Right Sidebar
regions[featured] = Featured
regions[content] = Content

Code files must be declared in your .info :

name = Example module
description = "Gives an example of a module."
...
files[] = example.module
files[] = example_types.inc
files[] = example.admin.inc
files[] = example.pages.inc
files[] = example.install

What did you specify as the version of your .info file?

Wow, those comments are not helpful.

I've copied two themes from my D6 server to my D7. I've updated the .info files to say core=7.x. One of the themes, I can enable. The other says, "This version is not compatible with Drupal 7.x and should be replaced."

I can't figure out why D7 won't recognize the theme!

In my case, it was because the theme did not define a content region. All D7 themes need a region called content.

Added this to .info file...

regions[content] = 'content' ;; All D7 themes need this.

Thank you. Fixed it. I actually knew this was a requirement in Drupal 7 and still missed it.

It requires minimum 3 parameters in theme.info file to display theme properly without any error message for version in Appearance page mentioned as below:

name = theme_name

core = 7.x

regions[content] = 'content'

The description can't be empty either.

daniel.nitsche commented

Scratch that. My problem was this:

name = Theme
description =
core = 7.x

The core field wasn't found, because the description field wasn't defined.

None of these things is my problem. I've compared my file to several other themes to see if maybe my punctuation is off... Ugh. Even if the solution was just a list of things you should check against, that would be lovely!

It also seems to break when there's a line break in the description

I developed a theme based on Blue Masters, it was running fine for months. Then I did a D7 core update from 7.08 (I think) to 7.12. Now I keep getting this error. I the theme I based it on works fine though :p

That was the problem for me also, the description field - pasted from a tutorial - was a 2 liner. Once I fixed it to a single line, it was solved.

Changed core = 7.X to core 7.x and it fixed it for me.

My "description" field was too long and so it wasn't picking up my "core = 7.x" declaration.

In my case, the trailing spaces following "core = 7.x" made the error.
Fixing is easy: remove all trailing spaces on each line.

I used 7.X, then it said "This version is not compatible with Drupal 7.x and should be replaced." After I changed 7.X to 7.x (x in lower case) it works. Silly mistake.
