install a theme - same old [old] problem

[computek2]

so do clean install of magento [v1.9].. goto install a theme

no problem [laughter] login to admin/ goto system/magento connect/magento connect manger - login to magento connect manager...

go to https://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/themes.html

pick a theme - lets say classic theme - login as you should get key etc and given the following

magento-community/wp_theme_grayscale (which i know will not work from previous experience)

so try magento_absolute_theme_free which works with v1.* (well ok 1.8.1)

or even http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/magento_absolute_theme_free

I've had this SIMPLE BASIC problem before and still the theme install  url does not work you either get couldn't resolve community manager or some ssl error ..

error 1

community/Mobile_Shoppe_Responsive_Magento_Theme: Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to connect20.magentocommerce.com:443

error 2

magento-community/wp_theme_grayscale with error Couldn't resolve host 'magento-community'

seriously? after all this time and it still has issues?

[computek2]

wow so i add a reply noting an edit and it gets deleted? instead of answering the issue? looks like its bye bye again to magento and just use a different solution that just works out of the box....

Why did you post about 1.9 on the Magento 2 forums?  The Magento 1.x theme forums can be found here:
