My Theme Doesn’t Show in Netscape, But Does in IE

  • I just created my first theme, tested it out, and now I’m not seeing it on my main site, but I did upload it and selected it as the default plugin. I was wondering if someone would take a look, and see if they see the Halloween theme I made (pretty obvious, but with candy background and ghosts at the top), or if it’s the original one (“Borderline Chaos”) with a blue background, different colored boxes bordered in black for the left navigation against violet, a green stripe at the top bordered in black, and a white posting area?

    The URL is https://www.sassydevil.com/.

    I’m using Netscape, and I’m wondering if it’s just Netscape being a little buggy, because it shows up in IE. I know it doesn’t quite look right in IE (as is the case with the original theme mine is based on), and if someone could tell me how to fix that, I would appreciate it, but it’s designed basically for Netscape. (While I think it’s great if you can get a theme to work in all browsers, I must admit, I don’t have the patience.) Thank you.

  • Shows in FF. Perhaps clear your cache in Netscape.

    I tried that, didn’t work.

    What version of Netscape are you running?

    I’m using version 7.2. And an update: I got off the computer yesterday morning, and then got back on just a little while ago (about 14 or 15 hours later), and I’m still having this problem. If anyone who uses Netscape can see the Halloween theme, please let me know. I want to see if it’s just me, or if it’s something with Netscape. I want to invite my friends to see my theme (ok, it’s not super-duper or anything, but it gave me a chance to experiment with some graphics), but I want to make sure they can see it first.

    I also have this problem and also just recently downloaded and installed 2.0 (new install). IE looks good, Moz 1.7.3. and FireFox 1.0 and 1.5 are horrible. It looks like no CSS has been processed. The content just plops out on the screen, no formatting.

    I have been searching forums for 2 nights now and have found little on this issue.

    I have validated all my pages with mutltiple CSS and HTML validators. Cleared Cache. Reloaded. Different machines. Windows and Linux same result.

    This happens with every 2.0 Theme I’ve tried including the 3 default ones.

    Any clues?

    @amulet

    I checked your site using Net 8.0.4 and your Borderline Chaos showed up.

    Could it be that in admin I edited the:
    WordPress address (URI): https://www.rachelkamps.com/wordpress/
    Blog address (URI): https://www.rachelkamps.com/blog/

    ..and then changed it back again once I learned I’d have to change the directory name on the server.

    If I re-run the 5-minute install will it overwrite the table/DB entries that I have now?

    Well I installed another instance of wordpress on another server and had the same issue. After many hours of searching, and editing httpd.conf and mime.type files the solution was simple.

    Basically you need to associate css files in your httpd.conf file:

    AddType text/css .css

    And also make sure there is a mime type set in mime.types (same directory as httpd.conf):

    text/css css

    Also note that older browsers can not see it because of the newer CSS reference:

    @import url( <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> );

    in your page.php

    Hope this helps somone spend less than the hours I spent.
    It would be helpful for the page.php file in wordpress 2.0 to mention the “@import url” issue.
