My Theme preview pictures - Post ID...

I have added a number of website templates to the My Themes folder in the editor. Each is in its own subfolder. How do I make a preview picture visible when I click on the name of the theme (I guess it really is the name of the file folder). I believe it has something to do with making a png files for each theme.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Hiya Unseen,

I think they are still updating some of the themes on the site that apparently were missing the preview images, but rest assured it's not too hard to do yourself. If the theme has a preview image in it or an image that looks like a preview but is not named that, just either rename it to preview if it's already a .png file, or if it's a .jpg or other type then just open it in an image editor and save it as preview.png to the same folder it's currently in (which should be the main theme folder).

That should have the theme show up for you :)

Also some of themes seem to be buried inside a folder inside another folder so you may need to get them out of that top folder to show.
I know you believe you understand what you think I said...but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not exactly what I meant.
