[SOLVED] New style not recognised (No uninstalled etc...)

Post by Gumboots »

This is bound to be something simple, but to get the obvious out of the way...
Yes, I have read the docs.
Yes, the files are uploaded to the correct location.
Yes, style.cfg can be found on the correct url.
Yes, permissions on files and folders are correct (files are 644, folders are 755).
Yes, owner/group is also correct.
Yes, the board in question is running 3.3.1.

In fact the new style is a duplicate of one that is already running there, with the exception of a changed style name in style.cfg*. All bits and pieces appear to be present and accounted for. Directory structure has been checked, as have files and byte counts for them. Cache has been purged and pages reloaded.

Despite all this grooviness, the ACP insists that "No uninstalled styles detected". Anyone got some ideas?

*If you're wondering why I uploaded a duplicate: it is about to be heavily edited.

Perhaps another basic point but have you uploaded the files to the correct board?

It would not be the first time that I have spent hours trying to work out why something is not working when I edit files on one board and look at the results on another and wonder why nothing has changed.

That would be a facepalm moment. :lol:
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Deleted and reloaded. No joy. ACP still can't find it.

Yep. Style.cfg is on the correct url. ;)

Lack of a copyright= directive in the style.cfg. ACP wants to display it, and won't display without it.

e.g. copyright = © Me 2020

Aha. The docs don't mention that (or not that I could see).
Anyway, that was it. All good now. Thanks.
