Problem With Themes

Post by Mom2Ian »

Just installed Serendipity today. However, I have no idea how to view my selected theme. No matter which one I select, it doesn't show up on the webpage. I assumed I could just click on a them under Manage Styles. But I guess it isn't that simple.

What am I doing wrong? :?

you may find your problem is related to GoDaddy and the way they install Serendipity. Another user had a similar problem back in May and the problem was solved by following the directions in the bottom half of this thread,

Hope that helps you

What's happening when you click on Manage Styles? Do you get a blank screen or anything at all?

You appear to be running go-daddy's free hosting. Trust me - their paid hosting is not that expensive, and is MUCH better. Next, do not install serendipity that they offer - install it on your own.

Your template appears to be /templates/ceejay01/ - I can get it to load using FireFox web developer. I also get the following error in firebug:
The stylesheet http://www.totalhealthtogo.com/index.ph ... dipity.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".

Server setting? .htaccess issue? Google is your friend.... might find a solution there.

I get a long list of themes. No errors or anything. However when I select a theme it never appears on my site.

You seem to have switched to wordpress. Let us know if you switch back to serendipity so we can help you resolve the problem. Your original problem was *NOT* serendipity, and serendipity blows the doors off wordpress!! :)
