Title: Theme doesn’t look right Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Theme doesn’t look right * [yaloner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yaloner/) * (@yaloner) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/) * My site is about basketball and since I know nothing about themes I downloaded the single decent basketball theme I found. * This is how it should look: [http://www.wpthemesfree.com/view.php?theme_id=1264](http://www.wpthemesfree.com/view.php?theme_id=1264) * This is how it looks on my site: [erezrep.com](http://www.erezrep.com) * I don’t think it’s a problem on my site because it looks the same on the theme’s test page: [http://test.wpthemesfree.com/?preview_theme=basketball-uniforms-01](http://test.wpthemesfree.com/?preview_theme=basketball-uniforms-01) * What can I do ? I realy want this theme to work becuase I found no other… * Thanks Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Roy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gangleri/) * (@gangleri) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/#post-671904) * Please tell us the problem, your site looks the same to me in Firefox 2.0 and Browzar 1.3. Do you mean that something strange happens when you try to watch a video? (Are they uploaded yet?)? * Thread Starter [yaloner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yaloner/) * (@yaloner) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/#post-671905) * It just doesn’t look as it supose to… * Here is how it looks on my computer: [Screen Capture](http://www.erezrep.com/images/theme-error.JPG) * It looks messed up and it quite similar in IE and FF * [Roy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gangleri/) * (@gangleri) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/#post-671928) * I still think you will have to be more specific. Is there too much red on the left and right, do you miss the dash behind the title image? What do you want to change? * [wolfieb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wolfieb/) * (@wolfieb) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/#post-671935) * I can see the issue you mean – the background is not being drawn properly and where there should be a rounded-corner white box behind the whole page, it just draws part of it at the top. * Have all of the files for the theme definitely been loaded into the correct folder? It looks like the theme is referring to an image file that is missing. * Thread Starter [yaloner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yaloner/) * (@yaloner) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/#post-672055) * Yeah wolfieb, you described it just right. As far as I know all files where loaded correctly (twice). As I said, it also looks messed up in the “official” test page so maybe it was made wrong and published that way ? (I find it hard to believe…) * So now what I do ? * Any advice would be great (or any suggestions to other basketball theme). * Thanks 🙂 * [wolfieb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wolfieb/) * (@wolfieb) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/#post-672064) * [Comment deleted because it was incorrect] * Sorry, thought I had the answer but didn’t! * Thread Starter [yaloner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yaloner/) * (@yaloner) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/#post-672172) * So no answers or suggestions ? * [deadceasar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deadceasar/) * (@deadceasar) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/#post-672177) * the cropped box at the top is actually the image for the footer at the bottom. if you know your way around your stylesheet, check that the proper images are being called. you should have at least 3 with this design (1 for the header, 1 for page, and 1 for footer). if not, check with the theme provider, they may have been forgetful. * Thread Starter [yaloner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yaloner/) * (@yaloner) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/#post-672195) * It now seems that it is displayed just fine for some people… * any ideas ? * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/#post-672196) * Yes, correct your code. [Here](http://validator.w3.org/). If your site does not validate it will display differently in browsers plus it is hard to trouble shoot with html errors. * [mrkingid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrkingid/) * (@mrkingid) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/#post-672197) * Funny thing is if you TEST the theme on the theme download page it also has the error. No fault of yours, it is the creator that pooched it. * It is the footer image and it is being posted in the header it seems. * If you do not know CSS or PHP goto ‘Presentation>Theme Editor’ and click on HEADER to the right. Copy and paste that code here. Do the same for FOOTER. Might as well paste your style sheet to see what the DIV’s are doing. * Should be easy to fix. ———– Just checking your site and it looks like it has a
in the header that contains all the top info. Kinda odd. * Looking at it more it looks like there is a lot of incorrect DIV nesting going on. Easy to fix. Just post the code…. if the admins do not mind. 😀 * Thread Starter [yaloner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yaloner/) * (@yaloner) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-doesnt-look-right/#post-672198) * Thanks mrkingid, I’m totaly clueless with CSS and PHP so here is the code: * **header.php** * ``` <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?>
``` * **footer.php** * ```
