Having trouble converting my website into a wordpress theme

  • I am making a website for a school’s online newspaper, so wordpress would be the first choice because of all the posts and archives. The current site it: https://www.mtwp.net/bluestreaknews. The website I made for them (with filler text) is hosted on my domain for now: https://www.arvinwebdesign.com. Everytime I attempt to make the code into a theme, the style.css never links, and all I get is text, no pictures, no nothing. I have been attempting this for a while and am very frustrated. I also have more than one css document, I also have a media-gallery.css. I have no idea where to turn now, so maybe one of you can help me.

    for theme development, you will need to build an understanding of the general theme structures, and have some understanding of html, css, and php …

    if you totally new to WordPress theme development, possibly start by looking into the code of the default themes to see how the generally used basic structures are done.

    I have been reading around and messing with the coding, but these wordpress tags are confusing me. Such as placing a tag instead of a title, or changing a picture’s path/link. After finishing the template, non of the css ends up linking, and it is just texts and bullet points.

    neither of your posted sites reflects your problem.

    to illustrate what you have so far, you might need to post a link to your WordPress based site, and post the code of header.php or functions.php – depending on if you have linked or enqueued your stylesheets.

    a web search for ‘adding stylesheets to wordpress’ should give you some further ideas about how to add the stylesheets to a WordPress site.
