Sounds like you've got the name stuck in the database under your old theme. &nbsp;Try activating another theme in its place and then reactivating the one you want (if, you are absolutely sure you have correctly and accurately correct the name in style.css)

Hello<br />
<br />
Please cam you advise how I rename a theme in wordpress? I have changed the name of the folder containing the theme and the name in style.css and this changes the theme name in the admin panel. However when i go into pages like settings in the admin panel the theme name is the old one. For example it says old_theme: template options, old_theme_name: colours etc. Naturally i would like to see the new theme name here<br />
<br />
thanks
