[resolved] Theme only shows when logged in (11 posts)

    Hello all,

    I need some help troubleshooting my blog at http://www.wahidsaleemi.com.

    I recently switched to a new theme and it only shows up when I'm logged in. If I log out again, I see my old theme. In my admin pages I can see that my new theme is active and my old theme is not active (but remains installed). I asked someone else to try it (to ensure it wasn't just my username or my computer) and they got the same results. This leads me to believe its a wordpress issue with my install. I'm on WordPress 3.0

    Anything I can check?

    How about deleting all the themes except the one that you want? (take a back up first!!)

    I deleted the other theme as suggested. When I revisit the page, it now has no theme, just a blank white backgound, default text and link colors.

    Could a plugin be causing this? I've tried disabling several of them with no luck.

    The theme you're seeing is the old theme if the "by-line" is "Posted by..." Also, there's an "AddThis" widget in every post, I've removed this but it still shows. Perhaps its being cached somewhere.

    This is what I get too, although this theme is not active, Thesis is. Seems it is falling back to this.

    Just in case, I restarted Apache but that didn't help either.

    do you have a cache plugin?

    Thanks for the suggestion, I did have a cache plugin but removed it a few days ago (it says it deleted all the data as well).
    I don't think its a cache plugin though because if I delete my theme (which I'll do now), the page comes up white, instead of with a theme as you'd expect it to be cached. Pretty strange! I've checked permissions as well, they seem ok.

    If you just switch to the standard WP twentyten theme, remove all other themes from the theme folder, and refresh your browser (ctrl+f5) what happens?

    After doing that, I got an error page in IE and a plain white page (no content) in Firefox.

    I went back in and re-activated by theme and looks like it works logged in or not.

    Thanks for your help Rev. Voodoo!

    Updated my permalinks settings to fix that last issue. Again, thanks a lot for your help!
