Missing WP core styles

  • No matter what theme I install, even 2016, my body styles get trashed by something. Note attached screen snap https://cld.wthms.co/ymKR/4imFHnFi in which all the body tags for 2016 are missing except one.

    Background – this site has only had one theme used on it in the past 8 years. That was Coda by Woo Themes. Woo Themes personnel have been involved in this problem but have narrowed the problem down to missing styles in the core WordPress styles. In other words, not theme specific since whatever theme is installed has the same issue.

    Hi scottareed!

    Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the default theme for your version of WordPress to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    Jose, thanks for responding. Deactivating all plugins was the first test that Woo Themes and I tried. They are deactivated to this day.

    We tried installing 2016, the default theme, this screen snap shows what 2016 styles are supposed to look like. 2016 was installed on a fresh install of WP on another site. https://cld.wthms.co/ymKR/4imFHnFi.

    Then we tried installing 2016 on my offending site. This was the result. https://cld.wthms.co/19muA/4c6fdlZN. All but one style is gone.

    My offending site was originally created in 2011 by a developer at a reputable company in Salt Lake. The developer did a lot of CSS work to give me a “skin” on the site was pretty incredible but not mobile friendly. That is why I am trying to replace the theme with Woo Themes Canvas theme.

    This is an extract from the developers primary CSS file. Note the first command which appears to be a total reset of all existing styles. This file resides in the WP-Content/themes folder structure of the theme which I am trying to replace.

    WARNING! THIS IS A COPY OF STYLE.CSS. DO NOT EDIT STYLE.CSS. EDIT THIS FILE.

    To make it easy to update your theme, you should not edit the styles in this file. Instead use
    the custom.css file to add your styles. You can copy a style from this file and paste it in
    custom.css and it will override the style in this file. You have been warned! ??

    */

    /* Default styles */
    @import “css/reset.css”;

    The reset.css file resides in WP-Content/Themes/Offending theme name/css. Inside, the file first gives credit to it’s author ./* https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ | v1.0 | 20080212 */. And yes, Eric is still doing his thing at meyerweb. I hold this file suspect.
