HELP! Can't Install Global Themes – "All Categories Missing' Error"


I’m trying to install and add a global theme to my KDE Plasma, but I’m running into an issue.

When I press the “Get New Global Themes…” button, it fails to load the themes I want.

Instead, an error message pops up saying, “All categories are missing.”

I even tried manually downloading global themes from the KDE Store website and placing the theme folders in these locations:

~/.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme
~/.local/share/plasma/look-and-feel/
/usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme
/usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/

After updating my system, the themes still don’t show up in the “Global Theme” section of System Settings.

Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

see this thread with almost the exact same title.

the solution works for those affected.
