2.1 I can't upload themes lol

[Mick.]

Ok, this is prolly my dumbest comment I ever said. "I can't upload themes in 2.1"

My "themes" folder is at 755 out of the box. Everytime i try upload my custom theme, it comes back with an error. "An error occurred while installing the theme." Out of curiosity, i went to the theme site and theres about 4-5 themes available for 2.1 and picked one. Even them i cant upload with out the error.

Is this the correct xml structure?

Are you using the latest version of SMF 2.1 from GitHub?

No. The one here from the download site. I upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1

As Kindred said here, SMF 2.1 Beta 3 is too way behind of the actual code of GitHub.

I recommend downloading it from here and to test the feature again.

Oh..
alright, i'll rewrite the files and see what's up. I wanna start making custom themes for 2.1. That's the reason why i downloaded it.

The thing is that we released Beta 3 on May 24th of last year, and since then, 1470 commits have been pushed into the project. That's a lot of changes

hahaha that's a lot...now, with changes being made so rapidly, maybe creating custom themes for 2.1 is not a good idea at the moment. I'd hate to update themes every time the team updates the package in the download section. Im sure there still template changes from time to time.

That's exactly why I'm waiting for an official release
