   I moved my website last week and changed DNS on Friday - so 96 hours ago. Yesterday after the 72 hours the site looked perfect but today it looks very strange and bad (not just for me but from friends and readers who have messaged me to let me know what they see).

   The homepage is completely missing content, columns and the menus look altered - it is not meant to look as it does now. When I try to look at the theme previews for the blog, that is even messed up - testing them shows a site with no formatting for columns at all, just my content on a white background - bizarre!

   I don't know what could have happened here or how to fix it!

   I am also having problems uploading photos in the media section and new post. It seems that a lot of permissions changed when the files were moved. I was able to get around it and send off a new post but it does seem that things are different in the back-end after moving the website.

   I have tried re-installing my theme (Thesis) but am getting error messages like these:
   Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /clientdata/apache-www/i/n/inspiringtravellers.com/www/wp-content/themes/thesis_182/lib/classes/options_design.php on line 468

   Thanks in advance for any help or advice anyone has!

   If you try to visit your stylesheet, it can't be accessed

   So teh browser isn't able to load it either I would imagine. So, if your stylesheet does in fact exist at that location, it looks like a permissions issue possibly?

   Yes the file does exist there - do you know how I can fix the permissions?

   Read the last link by Rev. Voodoo: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions
   All directories should be 755 or 750.
   All files should be 644 or 640. Exception: wp-config.php should be 600 to prevent other users on the server from reading it.
   No directories should ever be given 777, even upload directories.

   Try checking the permissions with an FTP client:

   Thanks so much - I see this now - can I just replace the wp-content folder with the old one from the old location that worked fine, or is it better to go through manually each one and update the permissions?

   Try checking the permissions on your stylesheet.

   I've tinkered with this some more now per your suggestions - is anyone able to have another look? It is still not displaying the header, though I was able to upload the header in the back-end, which I was not able to do before.

   Thanks in advance!

   Seem to work now. Or is something still wrong?
   maybe clear your browsers cache?

   Hi everyone - I'm still having issues with this, though I think they have changed now as I tinker more...

   The blog is just not reading the style sheet - I've checked permissions and re-installed plugins that weren't working, etc.

   By the way, this is how the site design used to look

   The settings in Thesis are still the same so I think if I can get it reading the stylesheet then it will all be ok.

   Does anyone have any specific ideas? I'm desperate - have tried to get some professionals I know to help me but they can't look at it until next week at the earliest.

   Thanks in advance for any help! =)
