WP Theme will not render in browser –

  • I have installed the Flexibility WordPress theme on 3 of my sites,
    on the first two it’s fine. But on the third, it simply doesn’t load
    into the browser – so all the content appears completely unformatted
    without the theme.

    When I take a look at the source, the theme code appears – yet the theme doesn’t render in the browser.

    Same problem in both Firefox and IE.

    Other themes seem to appear ok – although one renders, displaying a fault on a specified line of the code.

    I have installed from the exact same location on my HD for all three
    sites. I have deactivated all plugins on this one site, just in case
    there is a conflict. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the theme
    a few times. I have tried repairing the database, and reinstalling WordPress. Each time the same happens.

    I’ve checked though my cpanel, there are no quota or bandwidth
    issues.

    I’m baffled just now – especially since the first two installs went
    as smoothly as you would expect. Any ideas anyone?

  • is the css by any chance missing?

    in the source it says
    ` <link href=”https://www.xbox3l33t.com/wp-content/themes/flexibility2/style.php&#8221; rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” />
    `

    I believe the style.php should be a style.css

    take it from the other sites where it is working as desired – in case you are missing the proper style sheet.

    Hi,
    thanks for your reply.

    The CSS style sheets are fine – I checked those. And it is correct that the theme points to a style.php rather than .css file

    Here is a link to an almost identical site, with the same theme installed but working correctly (this is one of the 3 I mentioned).

    [Link removed. This whole thread looks spammy.]

    I can’t seen any differences between the two – yet on one the theme renders fine, and on the other it simply doesn’t appear atall.

    hm, might it be the empty first line causing the trouble?

    it is definetely the style.php that does the trouble. it seems to be showing a copy of the site.

    try again: with ftp: delete the style.php first and the re-upload a copy from one of the sites that are working.

    I would have to agree

    this is the one that works:

    [link removed]

    compare to this

    [link removed]

    which doesn’t work

    The first being a proper css the second a site copy

    BTW we are talking about file content not file extension.

    Thanks for your replies.

    I have checked the style.css/style.php files on the problem site, but they are exactly the same as on the functioning site.

    Just to be sure, I have now doen as suggested, and replaced the problem site style files with the functioning site files, yet still the problem occurs.

    What you are saying sounds right – and when I follow your link I see that one shows a style sheet and the other doesn’t – but where is the malfunction occurring? It all looks fine under the hood!

    I’ve still not resolved this.
    Any suggestions as to how I might troubleshoot it?

    Thanks.

    have you checked not only local copies of css but also copies on server?

    Yes, I’ve checked css both in the Template editor, in the WordPress Admin area, and I’ve checked css through the cpanel file manager. In each case it looks exactly the same as the correctly functioning site.

    hm, one is running wp 2.9 (not functioning) the other wp 2.86 (functioning) …

    might this be the issue?

    No, I don’t believe it is. The problem occured prior to the update – WordPress only became updated when I ran a repair. And I ran the repair because the template wasn’t displaying.

    It def looks like there’s something wrong with your CSS.. You might wanna try copying the original style.css file and putting that back in your theme folder to see if that works. Oh and style.php… that def needs to bee style.css

    I have also noticed this –

    I have a forum installed in a subdomain, under this domain name. The forum is also displaying the same problem – is it a coincidence, or is there a common file that would affect both the main domain WP installation AND the subdomain forum installation?

    I have running flexibility2 and after update to wp 2.9 the content appears unformatted ??
    on 2.8 it’s all ok.
    Sorry for my wrong English.

    Looks like Phildub resolved it, but how??
