css won't' load

Yes, no CSS is working on your site. Is your file structure correct? Is twentytwelve installed?

Try switching back to twentytwelve.

Yes twentytwelve is installed. I loaded twenty twelve just now and it appears to be working The code for the css looks correct. someone created the excerpt theme for us to download and it works in terms for the excerpts but nothing else like css will load. Can someone take a look to see if css loads in twenty twelve? It should as I never touched it. lol!

You can see it is working, yes.

lol. actually I can’t. My screen reader and browser read the page no matter if css is loaded or not. Ok. so how do I fix this child theme? or should I just find another plugin to do what this child theme originally did which was excerpts and stuff. Easy custom auto excerpt is broken so hence the chiuld theme so I would not brake the original. The code looks correct for the style.css file including the import rule.

Thanks and take care and be blessed.

I don’t know what might be wrong with that theme – try switching to it again.

You should use a browser that shows you what is actually happening on your site – clear the browser cache if you are not doing so.

Yeah I did and all of the text shows and since I don’t use images I’m fine there. so it works from an accessibility stand point which is good, but from a visuall aspect none of the stuff from the import rule which should toggal the main css style sheet are showing up. I’m not a css guru but from what I’ve seen the code is correct in that child theme. and i actually clear my cache every time I leave a page. Heha

It looks like your file structure or something is wrong – this link to the style sheet does not work:

Where did you create that file? Must be a plain text editor.

Is the child theme in the correct place (not inside the parent theme)?

I’d suggest starting over with the creating your own child theme.

Also, try deactivating all your plugins in case any may be causing problems.

Ok. it gets even stranger. My custom memnu won’t load and there is no drop down in any of my themes suddenly even twnety twelve parent theme to choose a menu. On the site it’s showing my pages which should not be the case as even though I created a main nav bar menu and stuff, they are not showing up. I really don’t want to reinstall wp and recreate my data base as I have years of posts and comments and stuff. They’re backed up but still. I have no idea when this problem happened. maybe over time like a mountain eroding, maybe all at once, but suggestions? I am backed up. with the comments, menus and stuff in the xml file wordpress creates.

Thanks all.

On the parent theme, have you selected a menu? Those can get changed when you switch themes.

Tha’ts the thing. there is no select menu drop down box. I already tried that before I wrote the last post. I even tried it with the other themes I had and no pop up saying select menu, not even a heading saying select menu. Yeah something broke all right. Here is a screen shot.

Thanks.

Yeah, that’s weird all right. Have you tried deactivating all your plugins? Otherwise, I’d suggest reinstalling WP – by downloading a new copy of WP to your computer and then via FTP deleting all files and folder EXCEPT wp-content – then upload/replace those with new copies – again, being sure to not overwrite wp-content.

Glad that you have a back-up too :)!

Yeah I believe I tried that Actually I plan on using the 1 click installer but I am taking a back up of my uploads directory just in case. I hoep the 1 click installers do not over write the wp-content directory. Sorry if this does not make sence. I’m not feeling 100 percent up to par lol!

I’m not much of a wordpress guru, but I’m slowly learning and you have been very very helpsul. Some on the forums, well, I’ll leave that sentence hanging.

I’ll keep yu all abreast of what’s up

1-click will overwrite everything, so I wouldn’t recommend that. In any case, make sure you have a complete backup of your entire site and database.

I do have a back up.. I’ve been prepairing for the inavadable since yesterday. I was thinking of starting over though in case the db itself some how has been corrupted and since I’m not sure when this changed happened it’s probably best if I do start over from scratch.

Take care.
