I installed WP into a test file to build in order to replace an old static site. Everything was set-up, had the Theme modified to my liking, an was ready to go!
I replaced my old site with the new in the index and now the theme isn't showing up. I switched to a default theme and that worked fine.
How can I get the modified theme to work? Seems like something isn't pointing to somewhere... But, I'm not sure what.

Did you just copy the theme file or did you copy the whole install?
Moving the whole install is a bad move as wp-config.php has special details which are exact location specific.

I moved all contents of the WP install to the main public_html file in c-panel using this tutorial: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

I do want to qualify my initial post.
Although the default themes will work, none of the images show up - as opposed to my modified theme that shows no CSS - it seems that the images still have the old location path and that they are lost to the newly moved WP install. I just don't know how to remedy that.
You could do a search and replace in PHPMyAmin. But maybe you just need to change your upload path in the Dashboard. What is a typical path to an image on your site now?

Actually, my theme is now showing up (I guess it just needed an hour or two to get its shoes on!), but the images aren't loading. They're still showing up in the media library...
The path in the misc. folder is set to: wp-content/uploads
Yes and if you look up the images by ftp where are they located? In which folder? I bet they are in a different location..
P.S. A link would help.

I fixed it. After the theme decided to show up (after no changes on my part) I went into each uploaded image and manually changed the path.
