Try deleting the default theme ?
I’ll try that (it’s backing up right now) but I would like a solution to the problem – has this ever been heard of before? has anyone seen this, and does anybody know what’s wrong? This seems rather unnatural ^^
What I suggested was the start to a solution……….
ugg you wont believe this! I totally removed the default directory, and it STILL shows only the default theme! even if I switch to one of the others! How is that possible? Shouldn’t it have at least broken links?
I missed your post because of all the shouting and as Kubrick is inanimate, it could not possibly be the “stupid” one 😉
I suspect you need to fix your code. Did you upgrade from an older version of WP and not change your index and header files? You have:
http://blog1.avxworkshop.com/wp-layout.css
called in your page – not from any theme directory.
First of all, calm down.
Second, check to make sure that the theme directory you are using is under the /wp-content/themes/ folder in its own folder. Make sure that the new theme you want is in that directory.
Third, try a different theme, totally unrelated. Upload it to the /wp-content/themes/ownfolder and then select it from the Presentation Panel and see if it works.
Did you change anything in the index.php file that sits in the ROOT directory of your WordPress installation? DO NOT touch that. If you did, then please upgrade to 1.5.2 and make sure that you replace that file with the new version.
Slowly, slowly, if we get enough information from you, we can figure out what is wrong and you will have the theme of your choice running.
nice!
I am trying three different things:
I have deleted the original theme
I have a theme called Rin that I have been tying
and I have a theme taht replaces the .CSS file in the ‘original’ theme (the old one taht comes with it)
Any other ideas?
(Am replaceing the index right now)
Yep, your root index file should simply be:
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>
and you won’t be using the root css anymore.
yay!
That worked
Thank you so much (-:
Maybe i’m running on a screwed-up version – might there be anything else screded up? whould I reinstall?
