• I’m not sure how to explain this, I’ve looked for solutions for it and can’t find how to fix it. So, I’m here. I’m using the Mystique theme, it was working fine up until I updated it to version 2.4.2. And since the update, the theme isn’t displaying correctly. Where the color sections should be, there’s nothing. And where the RSS and Twitter buttons at the top are supposed to be, there’s nothing. I can’t figure out how to fix this. I’ve deleted the theme and reinstalled it several times. And it still shows this way.

    Can anyone please help me fix this so it displays right?

  • Pretty sure you are not linking to 1 of your CSS files properly.

    Here is code from a site that works

    <style type="text/css">
     @import "http://pure-essence.net/wp-content/themes/mystique/style.css";
     @import "http://pure-essence.net/2010/01/09/mystique-theme/?mystique=css";
    </style>

    Here is yours

    <style type="text/css">
    @import "http://rambling-theory.com/wp-content/themes/mystique/style.css";
    @import "http://rambling-theory.com/?mystique=css";
    </style>

    So change your header.php to equal

    <style type="text/css">
    @import "http://rambling-theory.com/wp-content/themes/mystique/style.css";
    @import "http://rambling-theory.com/2010/01/09/mystique-theme/?mystique=css";
    </style>

    and give it a shot. That should fix at least one of your issues.

    I looked through the header.php file and found nothing to do with css in there. I tried just pasting it in there, and it did nothing. I even looked through the sidebar.php file, and can’t find a link to the css.

    Well Im not sure what to say without installing that theme myself. But somewhere it generates

    @import "http://rambling-theory.com/?mystique=css";

    and puts it in the <head> of your site. This is whats causing the issues.

    If its not in index.php or header.php then it could be in functions.php if your theme uses it or something. I would search all the theme files until you find it.

    Okay, here’s a question. It worked fine up until I updated it to a newer version of the theme. I’m trying to find older versions of it. But, it saves the settings for the theme somewhere. I searched through the database and couldn’t find anything. Where else would it save the settings? Maybe if I could delete everything to do with the theme and try installing it again it might work right.

    I just installed the theme from inside wp-admin and it worked. Also the code I said earlier is right.

    Try installing the theme inside wp-admin and not through FTP again.

    I just tried that. Still shows the same. But even if I delete the theme, and reinstall it. The settings are still saved. I’m thinking if I can delete the theme settings, and then reinstall it, it might work. But I can’t figure out where the settings are saved.

    Edit: I reset all the settings, and even tried changing the permalink settings in case it might have messed with the css linking. And it didn’t help any. I’m more stumped now as to why it’s not showing right.

    do you have the 2 URLs set up correctly in the General Settings page?

    paste in your browser
    http://rambling-theory.com/?mystique=css

    you should see CSS code.

    The URLs in the general settings are the same as they were. I just checked to make sure, it’s set up they way it’s supposed to be. And when I go to: http://rambling-theory.com/?mystique=css It just redirects to the site. No CSS code.

    disable all plugins, then go back and refresh the homepage.
    if it works, enable plugins one bye one to find out which one is interfering.

    That worked.. I found the plugin that was interfering. Thanks! Now I know why it wasn’t working right. Apparently the permalink validator I had was the one that messed it up.
