WordPress.org

   I've started using a web host called 'Streamline.net'
   I installed wordpress on 'htdocs/wordpress' and it all worked wonderfully with atahaulpa theme.

   Then followed instructions (which I've done successfully on previous installations using other hosts) to give WP it's own directory - ie running at root at http://www.shsmaths.com

   The site works (changed the index file etc.) - but it now strips out all the formatting. I'm wondering if it's the .htaccess file that's not right?

   Any ideas?

   Using atahualpa theme. Latest version of WP.

   My current .htaccess file code is:

   # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

   This is filed at shsmaths.com/htdocs/

   Any help much appreciated,

   It looks fine to me (using FF3) but I did notice some MS Word formatting in the page source. Don't paste content from Microsoft Word into WordPress as the pasted text will also contain Word's own formatting. Sooner or later, this formatting will stop your pages from being displayed correctly (if at all) in Internet Explorer. If you cannot possibly manage without Word, paste your text into NotePad (or another text editor) first, then copy from NotePad into WordPress.

   Thanks for getting back to me. Not sure where the word formatting would have come in... The point is that the site works perfectly, formatted etc according to theme, when I run it at shsmaths.com/wordpress but when I move it to shsmaths.com using the normal instructions it loses all the formatting from the theme.

   Any further ideas?

   What are you using for the path to the stylesheet in header.php?

   Don't paste content from Microsoft Word...

   Agreed. Don't use Word to format text for WordPress, instead format text with WordPress itself.

   Have you upgraded your theme recently? Your theme was updated yesterday by the designer due to bugs in the external stylesheet feature.

   You are also having a problem where single quotes in your categories have a backslash in front of them. I don't know what the cause is (try a forum search), but this did once happen on my site and it was due to a bad plugin.
