Title: Theme wont load Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Theme wont load * [spydamans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spydamans/) * (@spydamans) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-wont-load/) * Just got into wordpress and i cant seem to figure out why my theme wont load when i try to view the address from a different computer? The computer it is hosting from loads the page just fine through localhost and also the IP address. Any suggestions?

It might help to determine whether this is a theme issue or something else. * Thread Starter [spydamans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spydamans/) * (@spydamans) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-wont-load/#post-1051793) * no but i will try it now, thanks for the idea * Thread Starter [spydamans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spydamans/) * (@spydamans) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-wont-load/#post-1051795) * Nope still loads messed up, its just a white page with the text from the site but all to the left * Thread Starter [spydamans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spydamans/) * (@spydamans) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-wont-load/#post-1051821) * I think i might have found the problem but i dont know how to fix it. It looks like its only loading fully from localhost, but if i go to a different computer and use the ip it only loads text, if i try to add a comment it automatically changes the address from [http://x.x.x.x/blogname/](http://x.x.x.x/blogname/) to [http://localhost/blogname/](http://localhost/blogname/) and fails to connect? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-wont-load/#post-1051823) * That sounds more like a server/network problem to me. * Thread Starter [spydamans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spydamans/) * (@spydamans) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-wont-load/#post-1051825) * [@esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/), any suggestions? * Thread Starter [spydamans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spydamans/) * (@spydamans) * [17 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-wont-load/#post-1051881) * ? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [17 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-wont-load/#post-1051885) * Out of my area of expertise, I’m afraid, I know just enough about network configuration to be dangerous.
