    Hi, thank you for your assistance in the previous issue that I had and hope you will assist me with the current one that I am having. At the dashboard I keep getting the error message "ERROR: The themes directory is either empty or doesn’t exist. Please check your installation." I am using the Executive theme for my site. Thank you

    Please include a link to your site with all questions so that people can see what is going on.

    Is the directory there? Have you deactivated all plugins?

    The link to my site is http://www.7smr.org. At the moment I do not see any error on the site but I am concerned about the error message. I am very new at WordPress and had someone else build the site for me so I am not sure what you mean by directory. As for the plugins, I have not deactivated them.

    There is no theme information in your style sheet. Compare it to the original unedited style.css.

    WP has a themes directory within the wp-content directory.

    There should be information at the top of your style sheet, style.css. It looks like the original Executive theme to me and I don't have a copy to look at but here is the one from Minimum

    Thanks I found it. Where should I get the original Executive?

    Oh okay. I now know where the problem is and I could not have done this all by myself. Thank you
