I've done this before with another site a long time ago without too much trouble but now I can't get past the first step. I'm trying to follow these directions:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Themes:How_to_Copy_an_Existing_Theme
I copied the "Ajaxian" theme and renamed it "mollyslings"
I uploaded the mollyslings folder to the server then I went to the gallery - http://www.mollyslings.com/gallery/main.php -
I clicked on "Site Admin" then "Plug-ins" and got a blank page. Also a blank page if I click on "Themes".
I'm sorry this question is so stupid. I'll be really grateful for help.
Thanks

Below is what the theme.inc looks like in the mollyslings folder.

The page you linked to has the instructions. Using a change from 'matrix' to 'mytheme' as an example, it says "You need to change every reference of matrix to mytheme ..."

A quick look at the code above shows a couple of mentions of Ajaxian.

Thank you for answering. I did try to change every "Ajaxian" to "mollyslings" the first time. When I did that, then tried to go to plug-ins, I got an error page saying that there was no "class mollyslingsTheme" so I changed that part back to "class AjaxianTheme" then I got the blank page. Several times I changed the combinations of what I left as "Ajaxian" and what I changed to "mollyslings".

Finally, as it's pasted in my post I *think* I have made only the changes shown in the example. I was hoping someone more familiar with the code might be able to glance at it and tell me where I'm going wrong exactly.

I just went over it again very carefully and got it working. Thanks.
