Okay let me try that and I’ll get back to you ASAP
Are you still getting error messages?
It pulls up an error page when I select the other template.
Standard “HTTP 404 Not Found”
Okay, let’s get at this another way. Can you select each of the themes without problem and have them load correctly using the Presentation tab?
Yes. They load perfectly.
Hmm. I’ve had a couple of people who had this problem; I sent them a copy of my file which has always worked perfectly, and which then worked fine for them as well. I’d be happy to do the same for you. You may email me at vkaryl *at* bytehaven *dot* com, and I will send the file along; once you get it, simply delete the current file on your server and upload the one I send.
If THAT doesn’t work, then maybe I’ll need you to send me a zipped archive of a couple of your themes to set up on one of my test servers.
There is some problem with your whole setup? Do you use any kind of redirect thing?
Are the 2 URIs in the Options > General the same AND correct? My guess… they are not.
The theme switcher wants to go here:
http://www.alessandrapalmer.org/index.php?wptheme=OrangeSky
and of course, it cannot find the site (=404) because your blog is in a directory called /wordpress – so it should be
http://www.alessandrapalmer.org/wordpress/index.php?wptheme=OrangeSky
and it works with this address.
So I should change one of the addresses? We had to redirect because AlessandraPalmer.Org wouldn’t display the blog, it would only display a directory.
Redirects always suck…
ON this page if you click on the top DOCS > Installation (on the right) and “Have WordPress files and blog in different directories” you’ll get the guide how to do it without redirect:
http://wordpress.org/docs/installation/different-address/
In the codex ther is also a detailed guide:
Moving_WordPress
YAY! It works. Okay, I just inserted the proper code to get a drop down list of the templates, but that screws up my pretty sidebar in Orange Sky (which is my personal favourite) can I get a working code to just make a list?
Just delete the 'dropdown' part from that code line:
<?php wp_theme_switcher(); ?>
Thanks so much for all your help. After 7 hours it’s working perfectly.
