    Hey, what do you guys do when you have problems installing certain themes? What steps do you take to resolve the issue?

    Also, in my case, I just installed a free theme on my blog, but there are several problems with it. If anybody has a few spare moments, please check out http://rawhemphealth.com and let me know how to fix these problems, in the case you know how. The two main issues are how to get pictures on the rotating banner up top, and fix all those warnings throughout the page. Thanks!

    I kinda feel that the theme files are screwed up completely. Try doing a reinstall of the theme or check if other themes are working on the blog when installed. If other themes are also throwing errors, better check your file permissions and CHMOD on the server.

    Further regarding the images on the rotating banner - they are often called as Featured sliders, these are basically setup from the theme options, check on the theme readme or settings panel where it pulls these images or maybe the posts it is looking for does not have images to pull from, but ideally it is category specific.

    hope this helped, else let me know.
    warm regards
    Josh

    I just ended up switching to another theme since this one was not worth the trouble for fixing.
