you need a 2.0 compatible theme, there's no easy way to adapt a 1.x theme to 2.x. additional pages should not be affected by this

CapadY

SMF1.x brances and SMF2.x branches are totaly different. Using SMF1.x themes on SMF2.x brancehs will never work. Theme should be completely rewritten.
Please, don't PM me for support unless invited.
If you don't understand this, you will be blacklisted.

Can I Upload the zip Package of choice Theme before instalation?
Then explore the default material, so I can recreate my custom pages, header Links and Button  required to help me and my members assimilate better to the shocking change.
I need this to be as seamless as possible
Thank you all for help

how are the custom pages created? is it SSI or using a mod/portal?
with limited knowledge of your configuration it's reall y hard to tell

however the theme layer is separated from the logic to avoid such problems and speed up the upgrade process

Hi Flapjack
I am not good at it so I just Copied source and Pasted In Dreamweaver. Thats The Only way I Know How.
Its Mainly A few pages that will require Buttons made, Color Ajustments and header Issues.
I Just would like this to go by without any bumps
Thanks Kathleen

I see, I thought they will extensively use theme's files, but from what I can see, you can safely upgrade to 2.0 and use portal or any other page management mod to put the content there

SimplePortal will allow you to create pages that will be accessible through /index.php?page=page_name and will take care of the header and footer
after this you will only need to edit Subs.php to reflect additional pages in the main menu
this will be much more elegant solution from what you have now, not to mention you will not need Dreamweaver to edit all of the content :)

Kathleen Chute

Thank you Flapjack
I loved working with you before. You Do now, Is Pick a Theme I can enjoy that looks similar and Take your advise Not To mention all the new updated Mods, But Im Really excited about The Change.
Uhh , I feel stupid But sub.php. would I use dream weaver for That ?
Thanks Kathleen

you can, of course
search for:// All the buttons we can possible want and then some, try pulling the final list of buttons from cache first.
and then insert more buttons that will represent the pages you've created

Have you figured everything out Kathleen, or do you need further assistance?
