 * I installed a theme called ResponsiveBoat which is a child theme of zerif lite.
   After activating it, my website looks like nothing more than text and links. 
   I deleted the child and parent theme and activated TwentySixteen and it still
   doesn’t work. Any ideas?

 * Is this affecting just the public website?
 * Or the dashboard too?
 * What’s the address of your website?

 * There is no public server, its self hosted @ localhost. It doesn’t affect the
   dashboard.

 * I investigated the problem a little more, and found some interesting errors in
   the Google Chrome developer console. I get one error that looks like this:
 * `http://localhost/wordpress/ Failed to load resource: the server responded with
   a status of 404 (Not Found)`
 * And 8 errors that all looks like this:
 * `http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentysixteen/js/skip-link-focus-
   fix.js?ver=20160412 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status
   of 500 (Internal Server Error)`
 * All 8 of these errors have the same error code and description, but different
   links that all start with this:
 * `http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentysixteen/`
 * Hopefully this helps because I still have no idea how to fix this!
