Broken Themese (51 posts)

    I went to one of my blogs and noticed that all of the images were gone. It basically looks like an RSS feed. Unsure of why this happened, I upgraded to 2.6.1, but no change. Deleted all of the themes except Default, still no change. In fact, when in Design, I don't even see the Thumbnail, even though I can see it in the file folder.

    The blog is located at www.MyCookingShow.tv/blog and any suggestions would be appreciated, as we're considering exporting everthing and starting over at this point.

    The problem is that your stylesheet isn't linked correctly.

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="blog_data/style.htm" type="text/css" media="screen">

    That should be style.css not htm. And uh... well that's some messed up code in there. And FRAMES?!? *gasps*

    EDIT: Now that I look closer, that seems to be just one of the stylesheets you have linked. There are 3. I'm guessing that the one with the .htm extension is the one for the blog... and is it linked correctly? Although there are ways around it, it should by all right be linked to the stylesheet in the theme folder.

    Your blog is at http://carinainvestmentgroup.com/mycookingshow/blog/ (http://76.12.83.6/blog). Most of theme files is missing so I think you are having File Permission issue (CHMOD), read WP Codex on How to change file permission.

    Thanks for the replies. I've not made any modifications other than deleted the themes after the fact. I suspect that *something* occured that resulted in a major screwup of my files.

    What is odd is that it would seem that if I deleted the themes and replaced them from the original source, shouldn't everything be ok?

    I'll take a look at file permissions too, thank you.

    Are you on GoDaddy? I am, and I'm having the same exact problem as you.

    I tried chaoskaizer's suggestions outlined on http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions. Hasn't fixed the problem. My blog is http://blog.peacockandpaisley.com

    Any help will be extremely appreciated.

    lesson #1 : LOOK at your source. Every browser lets you "view source"

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://blog.peacockandpaisley.com/wp-content/themes/firebug/firebug/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

    that's an incorrectly uploaded theme.

    look at what I pasted, and then watch the tutorials:

    I am sort of a noobie, but....

    None of my themes are working, even though they all worked before upgrading to 2.6.1. Why would they not work now?

    It seems like something isn't "calling" them into action....

    I'm checking out your tutorial....

    Watched the tutorial, nice, but that doesn't address or fix why NO themes are working.

    Yes, it does. Read what Whooami posted. You have TWO /firebug directories. There should only be one. And I've watched those videos and they go into detail about this very thing. Did you bother to watch at all?

    I just now viewed your source code and you still have this erroneous call to your theme's stylesheet:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://blog.peacockandpaisley.com/wp-content/themes/firebug/firebug/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

    Oh, and I'd be willing to bet donuts to dollars that the Default and Classic themes aren't doing this.

    If you aren't going to bother to read and take to heart VALID solutions to your problems, go away and leave us to help those who actually want help and read and follow directions.

    Sheesh.

    its really easy to miss when you aren't looking for it, but yes, that's the problem. If you work a long with the tutorials though, and compare whats on the server with what you see in the videos, it does become more obvious.

    Did you take a mellow pill today? I'm the one going all medieval today, huh? :D

    And yep, those are great tutorials. I've referred several people to them who have contacted me offline for assistance. :)

    PS: the fact that your default theme looks the same is of no consequence to the advice Ive given you :) themes cant be nested..

    ...so even if that doesn't fix your immediate problem, you should correct that.

    Ok, I switched to the Default theme.

    Still no stylesheet loveliness.

    What am I missing?

    404 Page Not Found for the link to the stylesheet:
    http://blog.peacockandpaisley.com/wp-content/themes/default/style.css

    Here we go again, another /blog subdomain/subdirectory. (FTFLOG)

    WHAT are your blog URL settings? blog.peacockandpaisley.com or peacockandpaisley.com?

    yah that was my next question. this seems to be a fairly common problem on godaddy though. why is that? I had gobs of subdomains when I had my little godaddy test account. Of course, that was before the canonical domains too, I think.

    Ok, be gentle :)

    "root .htaccess" ::: would that be located in the peacockandpaisley.com area on the server, or in the blog.peacockandpaisley.com area?

    looking in wp-content for .htaccess.......

    http://www.peacockandpaisley.com/blog/

    is that where your subdomain/wordpress files are located? why am I being redirected?

    whats in your root .htaccess? do you have another .htaccess thats living inside blog/ ? If so, whats in it? Also, any .htaccess files inside wp-content?

    Ok, but before I delete them, why would they have been ok before 2.6.1?

    I also have what seems to me to be a useless php5 file that GoDaddy said would be the magic cure for previous problems with phpList. Do I need that? It didn't fix anything. This came up some time after I upgraded to php5.
