When I set up this blog some weeks ago (and in my opinion, it is still under construction), I tried to use themes like Stepping Stone, Ocadia, and others, but almost every theme I tried to upload any of them, I got error messages, like this one: Invalid theme uploaded: [ThemeError] No such file or directory - templates.

I tried to solve this by myself, so I started hacking. First, I opened the Stepping Stone and the Red Sky at Night zip files, the latter imported successfully into Mephisto. And then I saw that the Stepping Stone zip had a ’stepping_stone’ directory and nothing else in the root, while the Red Sky at Night had all the structure right from the beginning.

After I generated a new zip with a similar structure, the second try gave me this message: Invalid theme uploaded: [ThemeError] No such file or directory - javascripts. Now, looking again, the zip file didn’t have a javascripts directory in it. Directory created, nothing, inside, third try to upload: Theme imported Successfully!

I looked at the Red Sky at Night zip, and its javascripts directory was empty too, so I don’t think it will be much of a problem. If anyone somewhere reads this, and would like to have a working copy of Stepping Stone and Ocadia themes, post a comment and I will upload it.

P.S.: Thanks for the creators of the themes.
