I'm fairly new to WordPress and just installed 2.3.2. It seems to be working fine, except for one oddity...when I go to "Presentations," it shows the title of the new themes I've added (and I was sure to pick ones that were compatible with my version of WP), but not the screenshot. And then, when I activate one by clicking the title, I get a site with absolutely no formatting, like all the CSS has gone AWOL. Any clues?

Could be something wrong with your CSS file. Have you got a URL that we could look at?

1. Older themes do NOT have screenshot. The feature just wasn't there in earlier WP versions. However, that in itself should never make a theme 'incompatible'.
2. As said above - dnt ask display questions without a link :)

Here's the link:

And what are the 2 URI values in that test installation "infoisland_test"?
Because it is looking for the stylesheet in a completely wrong place:
http://infoisland.org/wordpress/wp-content/themes/beautiful-day-2.0/style.cssNext question: are you trying to connect this test install to an existing database where your live blog lives? That will never work!

This test install is conected to a copy of the original database. Are you telling me that there is a base URL of some sort somewhere that needs to be changed?
-
Yes. That's exactly what I am saying.
So, once again: what are the 2 URI values in that test installation when you go admin > Options > General? -

I made the changes to the URI values, now that I know where they are. As I said in my first post, I am new to WordPress. I did not set up the original installation, but am attempting modifications on the copy. The themes now work as they should. Thank you.
