 * I am replacing a static website with a wordpress site and set up wordpress the
   wordpress site to run in a sub folder example: [http://www.Domain/wordpress](http://www.Domain/wordpress)
   and am now wanting to move the test site to the root to replace the static html
   site. I “tried” to the move last night and all the content did indeed transfer,
   but the theme was not showing correcting, it was just a mess of words.
 * Thoughts? Suggestions? Anyone do this sort of thing I could outsource to?

 * The theme files may have gotten corrupted. Have you tried uploading the theme
   again?
