CSS and certain plugins not working after moving servers

    I moved two WordPress sites today – one works fine and the other doesn’t.

    The url is http://www.garrettstokes.com/

    My CSS isn’t loading. When I try to load style.css I get a 500 Internal Server error: http://www.garrettstokes.com/wp-content/themes/iA3/iA3 1.01/style.css

    Certain plugins aren’t working – I’m getting the “Plugin file does not exist” error.

    Also in my dashboard, screenshots for themes aren’t showing up. I have the correct permissions in place for my themes and for the theme folder itself.

    I have tried:
    – Giving my htaccess file 777 permissions
    – Changing my permalink structure, then changing it back
    – Switching themes and switching back

    All I can think of now is to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress, but I don’t see how that would fix anything.

    If anyone can help I’d be very grateful.

    The issue fixed itself – I think it was to do with the DNS updating.

    This happened again.

    The problem seems to have been that the .htaccess file in my wp-content/themes folder had the following content:

    Options -MultiViews
    ErrorDocument 404 //wp-content/themes/5793.php

    Options -MultiViews
    ErrorDocument 404 /wp-content/themes/5793.php

    I’m a novice when it comes to htaccess – I’ve done a lot of Googling and can’t figure out how or why this has happened.

    I’m worried that it will happen again – can someone please shed some light on the situation, or even tell me what to search for to get an overview of the issue?
