• Hello, I recently followed a video on installing WordPress 5 and had several issues.
    I am using Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and the latest version of WordPress.
    I downloaded the zip then installed using this:

    unzip -q latest.zip -d /var/www/html/
    chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress
    chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/wordpress
    mkdir -p /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/uploads
    chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/uploads

    Then, I attempted to follow a video on making a WordPress website but noticed my default page did not look similar. This video was in 2019 so he was using the same default theme, but his looked nicer.

    I also noticed using themes didn’t result in a nice looking website and less than half of the CSS / images weren’t being copied over or rendering.

    I thought it was possible because I was forwarding HTTP to HTTPS, so I tried HTTP and turned off forwarding but it still looked the same.

    Here is the comparison between my website and his.

    I am not sure what I did wrong, I tried reinstalling but found nothing worked. Any help would be appreciated.

  • hello

    When you install the latest version of WordPress comes with Twenty Nineteen which is the theme that you are using at your website ( https://trainmanegucci.tk ).

    the comparsion that you were seeing is one is Twenty Nineteen and the other one is Twenty Seventeen so the themes are different.

    does that help.

    Hi Nick,

    I have looked at both of the images that you shared. There is nothing wrong with your Theme or CSS it is working fine. You are using the latest version of WordPress which comes with Twenty Nineteen default active Theme and in other image, The default theme is Twenty Seventeen. Both themes are different in looks.

    If you want to use Twenty Seventeen Theme then you should these steps.

    Goto your WordPress Website dashboard > Appearance > Themes. Here you will find all the themes. Activate the Twenty Seventeen theme.

    Let me know if this helps you.

    @benlumia007 @amitmhr Thanks for the replies. I switched to the Twenty Seventeen theme and it seems to be working fine. I just thought it was a WordPress issue due to some of the themes I added not adding all the images shown in the preview. Looks good now, thanks so much!
