Can't Install Themes

[fmofmpls]

Hello. I did the upgrade to 2.1.4 the other night and since then I have not been able to successfully upload any new themes. All the themes that I have tried to upload show full compatibility with 2.1.4  I keep getting the error message - SMF was unable to find any valid information within the package-info.xml file included within the Package. There may be an error with the modification, or the package may be corrupt.

What am I doing wrong here? Thank you.

Themes are not mod packages. Upload them in the THEME interface,  not the mod package manager

That's where I've been attempting my uploads. In the Theme settings in admin

Are there any errors logged in at the error log page?

The error message that you listed above is NOT the error I see when uploading and invalid theme...
What you listed is the failed package manager message

Go to THIS location
index.php?action=admin;area=theme;sa=admin

That's what I thought too, but actually it seems to be related to a theme installation. I found this bug report on Guthub, but it was for a beta version of Smf 2.1.

I'm definitely not attempting to load themes through the package manager. I've only attempted to upload themes through the theme admin manage and install interface.

Here's an error message from my error log:

2: file_get_contents(/home/monster/public_html/forum/Themes/temp/theme_info.xml): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

And is the theme_info.xml file present in the theme zip file that you attempt to upload?


Alternatively,  use your file manager or ftp to create a new theme directory,  upload the unzipped contents of the theme there and install from the directory in smf admin rather than from an upload

Yes, the xml info is in theme folder.

I will try your alternative suggestion. Thanks!
