Title: Broken Themese Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Broken Themese * [chrismross](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrismross/) * (@chrismross) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/) * I went to one of my blogs and noticed that all of the images were gone. It basically looks like an RSS feed. Unsure of why this happened, I upgraded to 2.6.1, but no change. Deleted all of the themes except Default, still no change. In fact, when in Design, I don’t even see the Thumbnail, even though I can see it in the file folder. * The blog is located at [http://www.MyCookingShow.tv/blog](http://www.MyCookingShow.tv/blog) and any suggestions would be appreciated, as we’re considering exporting everthing and starting over at this point.

And uh… well that’s some messed up code in there. And FRAMES?!? *gasps* * EDIT: Now that I look closer, that seems to be just one of the stylesheets you have linked. There are 3. I’m guessing that the one with the .htm extension is the one for the blog… and is it linked correctly? Although there are ways around it, it should by all right be linked to the stylesheet in the theme folder. * [chaoskaizer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chaoskaizer/) * (@chaoskaizer) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/#post-839474) * Your blog is at [http://carinainvestmentgroup.com/mycookingshow/blog/](http://carinainvestmentgroup.com/mycookingshow/blog/)( [http://76.12.83.6/blog](http://76.12.83.6/blog)). Most of theme [files is missing](http://carinainvestmentgroup.com/mycookingshow/blog/wp-content/themes/default/style.css) so I think you are having **File Permission** issue (CHMOD), read WP Codex on How to [change file permission](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions). * Thread Starter [chrismross](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrismross/) * (@chrismross) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/#post-839475) * Thanks for the replies. I’ve not made any modifications other than deleted the themes after the fact. I suspect that *something* occured that resulted in a major screwup of my files. * What is odd is that it would seem that if I deleted the themes and replaced them from the original source, shouldn’t everything be ok? * I’ll take a look at file permissions too, thank you. * [PeacockAndPaisley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peacockandpaisley/) * (@peacockandpaisley) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/#post-839795) * Are you on GoDaddy? I am, and I’m having the same exact problem as you. * [PeacockAndPaisley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peacockandpaisley/) * (@peacockandpaisley) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/#post-839796) * I tried chaoskaizer’s suggestions outlined on [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions). Hasn’t fixed the problem. My blog is [http://blog.peacockandpaisley.com](http://blog.peacockandpaisley.com) * Any help will be extremely appreciated. * [whooami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooami/) * (@whooami) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/#post-839797) * lesson #1 : LOOK at your source. Every browser lets you “view source” * `` * that’s an incorrectly uploaded theme. * look at what I pasted, and then watch the tutorials: * [http://www.village-idiot.org/theme-howto](http://www.village-idiot.org/theme-howto) * [PeacockAndPaisley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peacockandpaisley/) * (@peacockandpaisley) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/#post-839798) * I am sort of a noobie, but…. * None of my themes are working, even though they all worked before upgrading to 2.6.1. Why would they not work now? * It seems like something isn’t “calling” them into action…. * I’m checking out your tutorial…. * [PeacockAndPaisley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peacockandpaisley/) * (@peacockandpaisley) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/#post-839799) * Watched the tutorial, nice, but that doesn’t address or fix why NO themes are working. * [jonimueller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonimueller/) * (@jonimueller) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/#post-839800) * Yes, it does. Read what Whooami posted. You have TWO /firebug directories. There should only be one. And I’ve watched those videos and they go into detail about this very thing. Did you bother to watch at all? * I just now viewed your source code and you still have this erroneous call to your theme’s stylesheet: * ``` ``` * Oh, and I’d be willing to bet donuts to dollars that the Default and Classic themes aren’t doing this. * If you aren’t going to bother to read and take to heart VALID solutions to your problems, go away and leave us to help those who actually want help and read and follow directions. * Sheesh. * [whooami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooami/) * (@whooami) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/#post-839801) * its really easy to miss when you aren’t looking for it, but yes, that’s the problem. If you work a long with the tutorials though, and compare whats on the server with what you see in the videos, it does become more obvious. * [jonimueller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonimueller/) * (@jonimueller) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/#post-839802) * Did you take a mellow pill today? I’m the one going all medieval today, huh? 😀 * And yep, those are great tutorials. I’ve referred several people to them who have contacted me offline for assistance. 🙂 * [PeacockAndPaisley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peacockandpaisley/) * (@peacockandpaisley) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/#post-839803) * I’ll switch over to Default theme…. brb * [whooami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooami/) * (@whooami) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/#post-839804) * lol. mellow pill, nah 🙂 I did have a raging headache all day yesterday though, so maybe there is brain damage. 😛 * [whooami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooami/) * (@whooami) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/#post-839805) * PS: the fact that your default theme looks the same is of no consequence to the advice Ive given you 🙂 themes cant be nested.. * …so even if that doesn’t fix your immediate problem, you should correct that. * [PeacockAndPaisley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peacockandpaisley/) * (@peacockandpaisley) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-themese/#post-839806) * Ok, I switched to the Default theme. * Still no stylesheet loveliness. * What am I missing?
