Hi, New user to the forum, I have a Netgear ReadyNAS 312. Looking to find answers to a problem I'm having with KOKEN. Koken has detected a formatting error in your theme's info.json file. If developing your own theme, please check the file and try again. You may also switch to a different theme to resolve this issue.

I had the same message after re-installing Koken a while ago. This seems to be a very common problem also on systems other than ReadyNas. The fora are full of posts related to this. Here's how I got around the issue:

1. Make sure you upgraded to the latest Version 0.18.2. (Koken should prompt you that a new version is available).


2. Then in the Koken user interface select "Store" in the top menu bar.


3. Select one of the free themes, e.g. "Elementary".


4. Scroll down and look for the black button with white text "Install".


5. Select "Site" in the top menu bar.


6. Select "Themes" at the bottom of the page. You should now see that you are using the "Elementary" theme. Add some more free themes in the same way.


7. Put some pictures in an album, create some dummy text in an essay and put some featured content.


8. Log out of the Koken interface.


9. Close your browser entirely.


10. Restart your browser and open the Koken interface.


11. The message about info.json should now be gone.


Have a look at fotografeer.nl to see my working site. Please let me know if this also works for you. Good luck!
