Every theme's "theme preview" shows my current theme only (6 posts)

    For every theme in my "themes" section, if I try the "preview" function, everything looks the same; it displays my current theme.

    Another issue that I think my might be related:

    When I write a post and want to "preview" it, I get a "not found" error. The only way to preview it is by actually posting it.

    Any ideas???

    Thanks in advance!

    Have you tried:

    - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    - switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

    I will try that and report back, thanks.

    I tried both of those. Issues still exist.

    I don't have the theme issue, but I wanted to ask you if you have changed your permalink structure and if this problem occured for you before or after you changed it? Are you hosting the blog yourself? Did you figure it out?

    I'm having similar problems and its such a pain as it forces us to live tweak posts and confuses the heck out of the contributors. :(

    I have a solution! Go to the file: wp-admin/themes.php
    There is a line:
    $preview_link = esc_url(get_option('home') . '/');

    Change the get_option piece to read: get_option('siteurl')
    That worked for me perfectly.
    Good luck!
