    I have a question,
    The only themes that appear to work on my PostNuke installation are the xanthia. I followed the other themes install instructions and I see that they appear on my default selection, but when I save my changes I get an error then the rest of my site is not accessible. Is there an extra step I should be taking or certain parameters that I should change prior to installing non Xanthia themes?

    thanks.

    First of all, thanks mhal.

    It took me a while to figure it out but I finally got it. For those who are like me, I did the following and it worked great.

    `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
    Just as a precaution, you may want to test this on a dummy PN CMS
    `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

    1. Go to spidean.com (http://www.spidean.com/name-Downloads.phtml)

    2. Download AT-Lite (Auto Theme module) for Post Nuke.

    3. Unzip contents to your hard drive.

    4. FTP to your root CMS folder.

    4a. When you FTP, a prompt may appear that says asks to overwrite some files or something along those lines, just proceed with it.

    5. After that login to your PN as admin. Under your settings you should have 2 new selections which are Auto Theme and Auto Print (or something like that). Test them out. Should work.

    And voila! That is what worked for me. I tested some Auto Themes that were downloadable and they worked (all on the first try).

    oval, My first impulse was to snigger at the post above - shame on me.

    If everyone took the time to provide their solutions like you have, new users would have a much better time of things. After working with PN for years it becomes easy to lose memory of what it is to be a noob, to lose touch with end-users.

    Thank you for your post, I am sure it will help some people in the future :)
