    Hi,
    in “theme1254.sql” I’ve replaced all instances of “your_website_url_here” to my website URL, imported the dump file successfully, I activated the theme in WordPress’ backend, copied all the files as said in the readme.txt but still cannot see the theme in the WordPress frontend. What’s wrong? Did I miss anything?

    Do you offer any help? Would you need my WP admin password? I’d gladly hand it out – just to get it working!!!
