New Theme Installation Issue

[shoelady]

I FTP a new theme and I can see it in the theme appearance. When I try to select and save it, I get this error message:

PrestaShopException]

 

Property Shop->name is not valid

at line 837 in file classes/ObjectModel.php

 

831.

832. $message = $this->validateField($field, $this->$field);

833. if ($message !== true)

834. {

835. if ($die)

836. throw new PrestaShopException($message);

837. return $error_return ? $message : false;

838. }

839. }

840.

841. return true;

It stays on the default.I'm on version 1.5.4 and the theme is compatible. What am I doing wrong?

have you upgraded?

Have u try in local first?

This was not an upgrade. Just a first time install. I finally got it to work after trying a variety of ways to reinstall Prestashop, but it was a real pain! There is something not right with Prestashop's download. I kept getting error messages when I tried to do an ftp. Thanks for your replies.
