Remote Testing (Only plain text visible)

Most likely because you’ve set your urls to localhost. Have a look at these instructions. Where it says wordpress url and blog url those need to be the address you access your server from remotely.

Agreed. What does the URL for the style.css file look like anyway? There may be other issues.

Sorry, maybe I wasn’t clear before. I want my development server to seamlessly be turned on to a production server. The files will not be moving to another machine. I want to be able to test the website over the internet, but when I do, there are no styles visible and the site looks obviously very unfinished. Why is there only plain text visible?

I am using Instantrails. I created a new index.php file to redirect the browser to WordPress’s directory.

C:\InstantRails\www\index.php points to C:\InstantRails\www\wp\index.php

I have not altered anything within the wp directory.

drmike,

The style.css file is subordinate to the wp-content\themes directory in all cases.

Here is the link to my site.

look at your source:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://127.0.0.1/wp/wp-content/themes/default/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

127.0.0.1 is localhost .. localhost for me is MY pc.

thats why the CSS isnt working..

the anwer given above needs to be reiterated, apparantly:

Most likely because you’ve set your urls to localhost. Have a look at these instructions. Where it says wordpress url and blog url those need to be the address you access your server from remotely.

I understand now. Yes, that makes sense.

Sorry jeremyclark13! I suppose I didn’t take enough consideration of your post. Thanks whooami for pointing this out!
