XF 2.2 I can't Install any styles to the Xenforo 2.2

[nettsted]

I just recently upgraded to 2.2.1. Since there are problems with the current theme, I wanted to install a new one. I have tried install 4 different styles but it didn't work. I have tried it with various ways.

I have upload style files into the src/styles and import XML.
I have tried install .zip file to directly from the ACP.

In every attempt I am getting this error:
Please upload a valid style XML or archive file.

All add-ons already disabled.

I fixed the problem. I have re-installed some PHP versions and I forgot "file upload" setting as "off" I turned it on and worked.

I have the same Problem, but I am not Profi like you. Where can find Settings - file upload "off"? What do you mean re-install PHP Version? Sorry, I am beginner.

What do you mean re-install PHP Version?

If you are on shared hosting you can't do that.

If you are on shared hosting you can't do that.

Ok than, what to do to upload new style?

Ok than, what to do to upload new style?

If you're on shared hosting then most of the settings will be pre-determined for you. To upload a new style you need to upload the style files much in the same way you uploaded Xenforo to get it working. Once you've done that, you go to your Xenforo admin section, appearance/styles/ and import the style.xml file that came with the style, once you've done that you should have access to all of the style properties to make whatever changes you want.

Step 1



step 2



It will pay you to make a 'child' of the style you've added and make changes only in the child, that will allow you to update your style/s when needed without having to make all the changes you made originally again. To do this go back to step 2 above and instead of import, click 'Add Style' and do the following:



Give your style a name - description is optional - the important part is the Parent Style - in the image you can see that for me it would be Bolt Dark (it's already stating Parent do not edit) then just click the save button at the bottom of the form and you're done.

As for PHP versions - your shared host control panel should have a section on that - depending on your host. If not, you will have to ask them to change the PHP version for you. Mine is shown below if you need it for a reference point.



Good luck and if you get stuck come back and I'll do my best to help you out.

But, I am getting same error: "Please upload a valid style XML or archive file". I paid new style 30 dollars. Hm

Well, you need to make sure that file has the extension .xml and that it is in the styles folder that came with the style. For example:

I found style.xlm file

But Davyc, another question. I have many addons, but they are not added to new style, only by defaulst style . What to do?

Always happy to help and really pleased that you've had a positive result.

Your add-ons should work with all styles but may need some tweaking in the new style's options - go to style properties and see if there are any style settings listed. Oh, and you could try rebuilding your add-ons just to be sure. Visting the add-ons section in the admin you should see a list of add-ons and next to each is a cog with a drop arrow - click this and a list of options will appear, click rebuild.



That should sort out any issues.

That's outside of my expertise; I can only guess that it could be an addon causing this. Try disabling your addons and see if the error goes away, if it does then you need to enable each addon one at a time until the error appears then you will know what is causing the error. If it's not an addon, then you will be best placed to raise a support ticket.
