Uploading to Ghost

[edwinhawk]

I follow the Ghost directions of downloading the .zip folder, but when I upload the folder I have an error message saying that it an incorrect format. What steps am I missing?
PS I love this theme and look forward to utilizing it!

This is a common problem with ghost templates. The zip file is 2 levels deep. You need to unzip the the zip file locally and look inside, where you will see ANOTHER folder called 'chopstick-master', which contains default.hbs and all the other theme files. THAT'S the folder you need to zip up and upload to your server. Or, if you can access your server directly, just move the folder one level up. E.g.:

WRONG:
/var/www/ghost/content/themes/chopstick-master/chopstick-master/[theme files]

RIGHT:
/var/www/ghost/content/themes/chopstick-master/[theme files]

It's a really nice theme and worth the time to get it set up. Be sure to look at the documentation and load the sample data, which makes it much easier to understand how it's put together.

Sounds great, thank you for the response! I'm looking forward to giving it
a try!
