Hi @rastitkac ,

Could you please clarify what you mean exactly by "can't activate" - is it missing from the list of themes, do you get an error (if yes - what is it?), do you activate it but it your current theme remains the active one instead etc.

Hi @atanas-angelov-dev

Sorry for not being clear and sorry for late replay (I missed the notification). After installing the theme by running composer create-project htmlburger/wpemerge-theme test the files in the resulting folder test didn't resemble a WordPress theme (see attached screenshot). When I tried to activate it wp theme activate test, I got "Stylesheet is missing" error. and couldn't see it in wp-admin/themes.php

Later I found out, I could activate by wp theme activate test/theme. But I still haven't found out why I can't see it in admin.

Thanks for the extra info @rastitkac !

The structure you are seeing is as expected - the theme currently ~abuses~ takes advantage of nested theme directory support to organize files a little differently. While it can lead to activation quirks like this, the theme should be visible in the administration panel - are you using an atypical environment like Bedrock or similar, for example?

Just a heads up, the special directory structure is getting a revamp in the next release so this will no longer be an issue when it goes live (it's still some time away though).
