I created a site on my localhost and moved it to a server via ftp. Although it appears that everything transferred correctly the theme is not working. I am getting this error:


Warning: include_once(/home/a4437977/public_html/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/functions/bfa_theme_options.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/a4437977/public_html/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/functions.php on line 14

(same error for lines 16 and 17)

Also, when this happens I am not able to use any themes. I have to go back to my file manager and delete the atahualpa folder completely in order for any theme to work.

I have contacted the host who is trying to help me but the problem still persists.

Even though I know I will lose all my existing work I wanted to just install the theme again on my site and start from scratch. When I try, however, the theme will not install. I have tried to install it by uploading it from my computer and also by searching themes and uploading it from there. Neither way has been successful for me.

Can you help?
Thanks!

The theme settings are all in the database. The only thing you will lose is the header, favicon, and logo images you have uploaded. Reuploading the theme files would be my first step in troubleshooting.

I have tried re-uploading the files several times and I have double checked to be sure they were in the correct file on my server (content/theme) but I have not been successful.
I want to be sure I am understanding correctly....when you say re-uploading the files do you mean the theme files that I have been working with on my localhost, where all my style changes are? Or, do you mean re-upload the original theme zip file from my computer to my server?

when you moved the site what did you do with the database?
did you create a new one?
did you point the wp-config.php at it?
did you change the home and url rows in the wp-options table to point at the new url?

The style changes with Atahualpa "should" be in the database. The theme shouldn't have any style changes. If you modified theme files this could be causing the issue you are having.

I'm sorry, by style changes I meant css. I did't modify the templates. Is this what you mean?

I moved the database to the server.
I did point the configure.php to it.
I'm not sure what you mean by change the options table. If by this you mean settings>general>and changing it there, yes I did.

So to summarize
You moved your Wordpress folder and the database to the server
You changed the wp-config.php to point at the new db
Before the move, you changed the settings general to point at the new URL
Atahualpa won't work but twenty eleven will

Try changing the permalinks to the defaults - save them, then change them back
Can you install another theme, does it work?

Yes, I moved my wordpress folder and the database to the server
Yes, I changed the config.php to point at the new db
Yes, I changed the settings>general to point at the URL
Atahualpa won't work, but 2011 will.
Yes, I can install another theme. I installed pachyderm and it does work.

Also, atahualpa theme is under 'manage themes' but when I click on live preview I get this error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bfa_get_options() in /home/a4437977/public_html/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/index.php on line 2

This may not be a related atahualpa question but I was not sure if it was or not or if this is affecting anything. There is another index.php file in wp-content/themes

it is this:

<?php
// Silence is golden.
?>

The silence is golden is valid

Does the atahualpa folder have a 'functions' folder if so what's I it?

Yes, the functions folder is there and this is what is in it. (it is located in wp-content/themes/atahualpa/functions)

What version of atahualpa?

What I would suggest is doing a fresh install of wordpress and atahualpa into a new database and see if that will work.

the function bfa_get_options() should be in bfa_get_options.php (you could check) so something is not allowing the theme to see in its own folders. This could be a permission issue, I'm not sure so I'd like to see if a clean install of WP and Atahualpa in a new database will work.

who is the host and is this an apache server?
is it a VPS by any chance?

I did check to be sure the function bfa_get_options () was in bfa_gt_options.php and it is there.

I am going to attempt a fresh install of wordpress and atahualpa in a new database tomorrow.

The host is 000webhost.
yes, apache.
I don't believe it is a VPS.

Can I continue to use this thread after my new install tomorrow?

Thank you!

I began again with a new domain and fresh install of wordpress on 000webhost. After logging in to the new site I attempted to install Atahualpa from there. The install would not complete and I received this error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 10 seconds exceeded in /home/a1295644/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 172

When I go to manage themes I do see the Atahualpa option there however, when I click on live preview I see this:

what this is saying is that your host is not giving you enough time to get things completed and teh installs are not finishing.

Each server can be set to allow one of it's processes to run for nn se3conds before the server ends it. As long as there aren't too many other sites running on the same server, you won't run into a problem, but some hosts (manly the ones that are free or cost next to nothing) cram a ton of sites on a single server leading to problems, proving the old maxmium 'you get what you pay for'

FWIW a quick google search using 'review 000webhost' doesn't paint them in flattering terms.

My suggestion would be to get a reputable host to run on.

Great!
Thanks for your help!
It is much appreciated!
