What files are imperative to a working theme?
At the very minimum, a WordPress Theme consists of two files:
style.css
index.php
http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
Maybe I am doing something else wrong.
I have index, style, header, footer, and comments.
Could there be an error in my coding?
My index is the same index that comes in the WP download.
I have checked to make sure all of my coding is closed appropriately, etc.
Sounds like there’s an error in your coding. Try checking header.php.
Hmm. I uploaded it without my header, and I received this message during the preview :
Error!
the template St2 does not exists, note that templates are case sensitive and you must write the name exactly as it is
& thanks esmi for helping me!
You can’t just delete header.php unless you’re incorporating that code in your index.php file. The fact that you’re getting a completely blank screen when you try to preview your theme suggests that the error is fairly early in the template loading process. So looking for a coding problem in header.php is a good place to start.
If I posted my coding here, could any take a look at it and see if they find anything? I`ve been looking for a while, now.
You don’t want to post that much code here. Post it to the wordpress pastebin.
That’s not PHP source. Its generated code. The PHP would be much more helpful. But… maybe that is your source and you don’t have any PHP in it? Either way, I don’t really see much to suggest that WordPress has anything to do with page, which might be your problem. Are you following the guidelines for creating a theme?
However, I do see some curly quotes in there. Those will blow out your page. Look at lines 9 and 10, maybe other places as well.
If you pasted the entire page source you have another problem too. The page doesn’t fully load. You are missing closing tags for </body> and </html> maybe others too.
