My Links are Malfunctioning

    First off, the address of the problem site is http://www.ginandthedevil.com/wordpress/
    I just installed WordPress on my webhost and I’m having some problems with the links. Not with optional add-on links, but with the integral links, like the link on the title and the title of the post. The title link, for example, is directed to http://ginandthedevil.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/http://ginandthedevil.com/wordpress
    and I have no idea why, but it goes to a Page Not Found error. The title of the first post (the “Hello World” post that appears automatically upon installing WordPress) does the same thing.

    Here’s the background info on this: I’m using version 1.5.1.3, I uploaded it to my FTP using Adobe Golive 6.0, and I haven’t modified anything on the page since I installed it (as far as I know).

    I’d really appreciate any help anyone could give me on this. Thanks a lot.

    -Matt

    You have a bunch of odd things going on.

    1) You have very odd errors in your style sheet that need to be checked and fixed.
    2) Here is the generated example of a link to your style sheet from your main page (which has no “theme” look to it at all):

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../../../../../wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/http://ginandthedevil.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

    Where did all those dots come from? You put them in somehow, either in your Admin Panel Options as the site URL or manually. The link to your style should look something like this:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

    Open the header.php template file and make sure that it does. If you changed it, change it back.

    3. Change Themes NOW. Even if you are in love with this one, it is broken. Change themes and see if you have the same problem. If you do, then we have other things we can try.

    I opened up my header.php file and checked the line in question. It said exactly what you said it should say:

    <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />

    Also, I changed the theme to WordPress Classic, but it’s still having the same problems. I’m fairly sure I didn’t do anything to the site after I installed it. Is there any possibility that uploading it with GoLive did something to mess up the files? I’ve been told WYSIWYG editors have been known to do that with certain applications. Again, I appreciate the help.

    Yes, I remember another weird case which was uploaded with golive. Delete all the files and use a “normal” FTP client.
