Importing theme extensions failure - v5.0 to v6.0 was created by bunty.hardcastle
Please help us help you and fill where relevant:
Your LimeSurvey version: [see right hand bottom of your LimeSurvey admin screen] 6.4.12 from 5.6.57
Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: LS hosting
Survey theme/template: Bootswatch extensions
==================
I'm testing my v5.0 surveys in a test V6.0 installation before upgrading my main install.
I've downloaded the extended themes and added the compatibility option to config.xml:
<compatibility>
    <version>6.0</version>
    <version>5.0</version>
</compatibility>

When importing the themes via the Themes section, an error is presented, claiming that these themes already exist, which they don't!
"Template 'extends_bootswatch' does already exist."

The page also changes on this error to the 'Upload Template File' page.  When I try and import again via this page, I receive this error:
"This theme type ("") is not allowed."

All help much appreciated!

It can not work … but alert shown are invalid.

1. Theme for 5 can not be compatible with 6 without a lot of rewrite
2. community.limesurvey.org/bug-tracker/ for the theme already exist.

3. I think you need to add <type>survey</type> in the template config.xml, check the core template

What I do
I copy the config.xml of the 6.x. base theme into the 5.x. theme.
And then I try.
Some run - more or less - without further adaption, some do not.
