• Hi,

    I’ve just installed installed WordPress 2.1.2.

    It looks fine in IE, but it is completely broken in Firefox (version 2.0.0.3). It has ‘degraded gracefully’ so you can still read all the content, but none of the styling is there at all. I’ve tried a couple of other themes and still the same.

    Am I missing something simple here? I’ve googled and searched the forums here, but I can’t see that anyone else has the problem! What’s the fix?

    regards,

    – Kev

  • That all depends on what is broken.

    Link me your blog if you like and I can take a look.

    It’s a good practice to build your site to look right in the most css-compliant browsers (e.g. firefox) first, and then provide fixes until it is also acceptable in less compliant browsers (e.g. IE)

    The blog is here:

    blog.9ballpool.co.uk

    I’ve done nothing to it, this is an out-of-the-box install, with just one test post!
    That’s why I’m confused – surely firefox is catered for? But I can’t figure out what I could possibly have done to break anything.

    thanks,

    Something weird going on with your link to the stylesheet… in your header, does the href to style.css look like this?

    "<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>"

    yes it does.

    Link to style sheet looks fine to me.

    Yeh, looks fine, but when you cut styles out of style.css and paste inline, the site looks fine. Also, I’ve saved the html source of your homepage and the css and used a relative link to the css… that also worked fine.

    Try replacing the php link to the stylesheet with "/wp-content/themes/default/style.css". It’s not a good long-term fix, but may do the trick in the meantime, and might help pin down the actual problem.

    Fixed. I figured out the problem was with my Apache config!

    I generally have all my sites configured to include .css files in the list of files which are PHP-parsed. I’ve never had a problem like this before, but with WordPress I don’t need the CSS files to conatin PHP, so I removed it and it works now ??

    Many thanks for your time, and nudging me towards thinking in the right direction!

    Nice work!
