Hi,
I downloaded new version of Newsmag but there is problem. I can’t delete current 3.1 version. I activated random wordpress theme and when I’m clicking “delete” there is warning (in polish but I translated) “Can’t delete. Selected theme does not exist”. It happend for the first time.

Try deleting it via FTP.

Hi @grochu

Try to login on the server via ftp and update the theme manually. Please check this link for more details in this regard: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-install-via-ftp/

Hope this helps!
Thanks!

I’ve tried to update the via FTP but there was error “folder is not empty”. So I changed name of Newsmag theme and then uploaded 3.2 version and it’s working fine! I have no idea what caused problem because I didn’t change any themes code lines.

It works now and it’s all that matters 🙂

This is often a permissions issue where the original folder is ‘owned’ by the server (or Apache) and so WP and FTPuser unable to remove. If you upload via FTP it will be “owned” by the FTPuser and can be removed/updated via FTP in future.

Ask your host to “change ownership to FTPuser” on the old folder to fully delete it.

This happens when WP is sometimes installed via hosting panel, vs installed manually.
