WordPress

I have WampServer and WordPress running on my local PC and I am using the 'Complete WordPress Package' from killersites as my tutorial. So far so good except for some minor problems which I hope someone can help me fix. I wish I could include some code but I don't even know where to start from and everything is on my local PC which makes it harder to point potential helpers to a site. I have included some screen shots and described my problem as best as I can for now. Hope the 'heavy lifters' here will help me figure it outksiteprb.doc. I have attached a word doc.

 

Thanks,

Linton

After you do this step:

 

My problem starts with the styling wordpress in dreamweaver section when I copy and rename the 2010 1.3 theme.

Have you logged into the WP admin and changed the currently active theme to your new theme? Just thought I'd double check.

Thanks Ben, I have. I activated the new theme with a distinctive name. Everything goes fine in DW but when I do a preview I don't get the same thing from the browser.

I am following Mr. Romano step by step. I don't know if the version of the Theme has anything do with it. WP gave me version 1.3 to start with but I think the tutorial was done with version 1.0. As part of my troubleshooting process I tried using the 1.0 Theme that came with the tutorial but I got an error.

If you copied and renamed the theme folder then you need to edit the css file to have a different theme name. Just open the style.css and you will see the theme name there. Just change it to match your folder name.

TKG, thanks for your response. I apologize for my late response. This is what I have for the style.css file. Not too sure if you are referring to something else. I have also attached a word doc with a larger image.

I will try and complete the whole tutorial and hopefully put/upload it since it might help someone identify where I am making my mistake.

 

Could this be my problem?- Theme URI: http://wordpress.org/'>http://wordpress.org/ pointing to the wrong location. Will do a little reading and see what I find. Will see if changing that to the localhost location will make a difference.

It's the Theme Name that needs to be changed. Theme Url does not have an affect.

[linton]

Thanks again. I am now confused.

The Theme Name is: killersites. Here is a little cut and paste from the style.css file.

 

Theme Name:killersites

Theme URI: http://wordpress.org/

Description: Tutorials in session.

 

Am I looking in the wrong place? Will appreciate some simple pointers in the right direction.

 

Thanks

If I understand correctly, you wanted to duplicate the 'twentyten' theme. If so, then you should have two sets of folders in /themes/ folder that should look something like this:

 

/themes/twentyten/

 

/themes/killersites/

 

 

The css file for /themes/twentyten/ should look like this:

 

Theme Name: Twenty Ten

 

The css file for /themes/killersites/ should look like this:

 

Theme Name: Killersites

 

 

Be sure to change your theme to killersites via WP admin.
