Am I an Idiot?

  • Hi everyone,

    I have been trying to upload a theme which will work on my wordpress site. Its 2.5.1 and every theme I upload looks fine, until I select it to use it as my theme on the blog. The downloading and ftp of the actual theme runs smoothly, but when I come to use it, the theme looks incomplete and different. Rubbish actually.

    I’ve used all sorts of themes from all sorts of sites. I contacted one guy who owned a theme site, and showed him a screen shot of what my results were, and talking him through what I was doing. He was totally confused and had no idea what was going on. I was grateful for his help, but he was stumped.

    I know the themes I am using are 2.5.1 compatible, but they are not working for love nor money. Does anyone know of what I could be doing wrong, or could anyone offer any helpful suggestions. Its preventing me from getting my business and websites up and running and this time, and that is HUGELY frustrating as I am sure you can appreciate.

    If I haven’t been clear in this post, I apologise, if you need clarification on anything, I am more than happy to oblige. Thanks for your time, and I hope some one out there can help a techno-moron such as myself.

  • in the file named header.php, just below the </head> tag and the <div id=”page”> add <div id=”wrap”>….

    in the file footer.php add right before </html> this: </div>.. that should get us started.

    man…. all you gotta do is add that wrap… it makes sense then…

    am I the only one with FF Developer tool installed?

    This is what I got:

    Theme Files

    Templates
    Main Index Template (index.php)
    Single Post (single.php)
    Search Results (search.php)
    Page Template (page.php)
    Search Form (searchform.php)
    Sidebar (sidebar.php)

    Still looking for the code you referenced, but nothing.

    ??

    I appreciate everything you guys have done thus far.

    It is in your page.php then…

    like I said, open that puppy up and C&P this right after <div id=”page”>:

    <div id=”wrap”>

    then open them one by one until you find the one that has </html> in it… right before that you want to add:

    </div>

    you should be rockin’ then…

    Actually he’d ad that closing div right before the closing </body> tag.

    you right… my bad…
