Hi. I developed a new theme for Wordpress using Themler for MAC. I finished it, save it, but when I try to export it as a zip (to desktop), I get "Error: Unable to Save File", so basically, I cannot install the new theme on my Wordpress website.
Also, I saw all the posts about publishing the them, but I can´t see my themes online in my Themler account. Urgent!!!!
Hello all my fellow MAC users, using Themler on the MAC OS and creating Wordpress themes. (Have not tried this with any other CMS's but I am guessing it should work in a similar fashion)
Here are step-by-step instructions on how to "EXPORT" the theme you have created (with the Themler desktop MAC version that you open from your Applications) to a location on your hard drive, such as your "Desktop" in zip format!!!!! The instructions may sound a bit funky and it may seem like you are chasing your tail but it works. This way you can work offline and not have to be on the live site creating your theme!!!!! And you can work without an internet connection like when you are on a plane and you have time to work unencumbered.
Create your design and theme and save it.
Go to "File" and then click on "CMS Admin Panel". This will open a your browser to a Wordpress admin panel. If you look in the address bar you will see the address is "http://127.0.0.1:29958/themler_"......... and a bunch more numbers and stuff , but you get the gist. The "127.0.0.1:29958" means you are running the site from an internal Apache web host built into the software. And you are not on the internet.
Once you are in the Wordpress Admin panel in your browser window, you will see the "Themler" menu item. Click on it. This will open a window that is identical to what you see in the desktop version!!!! (This is why I mentioned the tail chasing thing. You may think "WHAT THE F!!!" Like I did, but trust me this works with no error).
Click on the "Export" icon or use any of the menu items that you are use to using to export. There are many places with in the software where you can invoke the "Export" feature.
Your BROWSER will then open a pop up window "EXPORT THEME" (Just like the desktop software does). Fill in the appropriate info and click the "OK" button.
After a few seconds (depending on how fast your MAC is) of the software doing it's thing in the back ground you will receive another window asking you where to save the zip file. (unless you have your browser set to auto save stuff to a certain place) hit the "OK" button after you have chosen where to save it. And VIOLA!!!!! You have a zipped file you can upload to your favorite website.
It appears that the desktop application MAC version does not invoke the internal Apache software and browser functions when you click on the "Export" feature. Hence why you have to open the "CMS Admin Panel" and "Themler" menu items in steps 2 and 3 before you can download a proper zip file with out the error code.
Hope all this has helped!
