Hi there

I just purchased Corona and tried to install it on my domain that is hosted with 1&1. I am running WP 3.2.1. At this simple stage, I get this error message that the zip file cannot be moved into the /homepages/16/d216006893/htdocs/mydomainname/wp-content/uploads/2011/11 folder. I tried several times and called 1&1 support.
They said that the install is trying to access thru the root server which is not allowed (?) and if I can find a way to get it to search from just /mydomainname/wp-content/uploads.... So is this something you can help me with? I'm new to this whole world of WP.

I then tried to install the unzipped Corona folder via ftp to the themes folder. It activated however, It wouldnt download dummy data etc... so
any thoughts would be greatly greatly appreciated.

sorry for my newbie issue.

Cheers

Hi,

the theme indeed be uploaded to the themes folder. Have you made any modifications to the theme or have you installed any plugins? Maybe your previous attempts at uploading content messed some things up. I suggest a database reset as suggested here. This will make you lose everything, so save whatever you want to save! With this clean WordPress installation you can upload the theme as it should be uploaded right away, this shouldn't bring up any issues.
