3.1. Setup and Configuration Issues

Here's a list of some of the more common questions we get about the installation and configuration of NewsFlash.

Why can't I see NewsFlash in my list of available Drupal themes?

Most likely, you have not copied the newsflash folder into the appropriate place on your host. You should copy the newsflash theme folder into the sites/all/themes folder. You should also ensure that the newsflash folder has appropriate perrmissions.

Why can't I see the NewsFlash configuration options on the theme settings page?

Most likely, you have not installed (or not enabled) the ThemeSettingsAPI module. If you downloaded NewsFlash from our website, the ThemeSettingsAPI module is included in the download. However, you'll still need to install the module. If you download the theme from somewhere else, you may also need to download the module from drupal.org. After installing the module, you must enable it.

Why don't my suckerfish menus drop down?

Possibly you have not configured the menu options properly. A common mistake is to forget to check the Expanded checkbox for one or more parent items.
