Error adding theme to WordPress 2.8
I was getting this error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function read() on a non-object in ... \\wp-includes\\theme.php on line 387
Fixed it by editing wp-includes/theme.php, adding ‘is_object’ check at line 387 as follows :
$template_dir = @ dir("$theme_root/$template");
if ( $template_dir ) {
while ( ($file = $template_dir->read()) !== false ) {
if ( preg_match('|^\.+$|', $file) )
continue;
if ( preg_match('|\.php$|', $file) ) {
$template_files[] = "$theme_loc/$template/$file";
} elseif ( is_dir("$theme_root/$template/$file") ) {
$template_subdir = @ dir("$theme_root/$template/$file");
if ( is_object($template_subdir) ) {
while ( ($subfile = $template_subdir->read()) !== false ) {
if ( preg_match('|^\.+$|', $subfile) )
continue;
if ( preg_match('|\.php$|', $subfile) )
$template_files[] = "$theme_loc/$template/$file/$subfile";
}
@ $template_subdir->close();
}
}
}
@ $template_dir->close();
}

That solution, in my case, resulted in the dashboard partly disappearing early in the day, then completely disappearing later. So, I returned the code to the way it was. It turns out that the problem is that WordPress now scans all sub-directories of your themes, and, since my theme was version-controlled, it had a “.svn” directory under it that had been set to readable only by me — not by the user running my web site. A quick “chmod” later, and all was working again.

The same solution as Brandon worked fine for me. I am not really sure how it happened but the permissions changed without my acknowledge.
Anyway its working fine now.

the whole blog is not loading due to this problem
and changing theme.php didn’t fix it.
Can you tell us where you changed the chmod
brandon?

booleanlife – my assumption is that brandon would have set the .svn directory inside the theme to be world readable, something like chmod -R a+r .svn issued in the shell from inside the theme directory.
This will only apply if your theme is being kept in version control using subversion.

Brandon`s solutions worked for me, but in my case it was “log” directory inside default WP themes that wasnt readable.
