Can i change the name of my wordpress theme ?

Hi'
I purchased a wordpress theme recently and uploaded it on my website, It's working great BTW..

But i want to rename the theme as my company name -
http://www.domainname.com/wp-content/themes/themename/style.css

Need suggestions about this....


Thanks....

 

You can do that via an FTP client.

 

Yeah, you can change the name. You have to rename the folder name.
Also you should rename it from CSS file.

 

I understand, But don't you think it will affect my css file ?

 

Oops ... I have just tried and it doesn't work

 

It won't.

That's weird. Well, you can change the FTP client or just reupload the folder with a different name.

 

Any idea how can i rename it from css file ?

 

See the CSS file
e.g.: Theme Name: AplauPro
Change the name "AplauPro" to a new name

 

Appearance → Editor → style.css:

In this case, "Twenty Ten" on the first line is the template's name.

/*
Theme Name: Twenty Ten
Theme URI: http://wordpress.org/
Description: The 2010 default theme for WordPress.
Author: wordpressdotorg
Author URI: http://wordpress.org/
Version: 1.0
Tags: black, blue, white, two-columns, fixed-width, custom-header, custom-background, threaded-comments, sticky-post, translation-ready, microformats, rtl-language-support, editor-style, custom-menu
*/

Code (markup):

Again didn't worked... I have to rename it as old ....
This is the theme i am using now.. (http://www.kriesi.at/themes/choices/)

 

I don't have a crystal ball so I don't know what exactly doesn't work. In any case, you can download the theme and rename it locally and then upload it (via FTP or WordPress).

 

on top of style.css

/*
Theme Name: change this name
*/

 

You can rename it, but make sure you have the rights to do so. Also, your name change may affect soem paths within your site.

 

you can rename the theme name for both: theme name in css file and the name of theme folder. However, you have to go to Appearance/ Themes to reload your theme.

 

renaming your theme folder will not affect your .css file directly. however, it can affect image paths.

example: if your body has a background:url('/wp-content/themes/themeone/images/bg.png'); and you go and change the name of the theme, you'll also want to update all the image paths same for any images called in the other templates. just use your search function (ctrl + f)
