Troubleshooting

Theme does not show up in the Theme selector

Try going to Site administration->Themes->Theme selector and choose Clear theme caches.

Verify that the "recoil" folder is uploaded to your Moodle code on your server; moodle/theme.

If the theme is still not showing up, verify you have downloaded the correct version. For example, if you're running Moodle 2.4, download the Recoil theme for Moodle 2.4
