• Hi, i just uploaded my theme to hostgator and i can see my theme on www.ads-software.com under current themes and choose it as my current theme…but when i click the “visit site” button the whole theme is not there…it looks like this: https://byerstravels.com/travelblog/

    the whole header and all the images are missing but they are on the theme on the current theme site on wordpress…so what am i doing wrong and what can i do to make my theme show up.

    i am new to blogging so any help is appreciated….thanks

    Your problem is most likely due to the fact that you haven’t uploaded the files to the right locations. Get a good FTP program so you can verify where you’ve uploaded files, and you’ll be a step closer.

    i read the thread the you posted for me and the only difference that the woman and i have is that she could not see her theme on her blog but i can see my theme just the way i want it under ” design” and “themes” and i clicked on my theme to change it but it does not look like my theme when i visit the site.

    So do you think i need to use this Filezilla? I did not really understand what that is or how to work it.

    I hve a couple of zero’s on my files above, can that have something to do with this? Since i can see the theme in my blog i thought maybe it did not have to do with mt ftp but with wordpress but i don’t know much about this so i might be wrong.

    thanks

    was there originally an image folder in there? It looks like you loaded all the images into the main theme folder.

    yes i think i loaded all the images into the main folder, was i not suppose to load the image folder and leave that alone?

    Your emerald waters 1.1 theme, like boober suggested, has an images folder. You need to copy the emerald-waters-11 folder to your public_html/travelblog/wp-content/themes folder and keep the directory structure intact. That means you should see a public_html/travelblog/wp-content/themes/emerald-waters-11/images folder, which contains 12 files. And your public_html/travelblog/wp-content/themes/emerald-waters-11 folder should show the ../images folder + 18 files.

    Another problem you have is that some of your files do not appear to be the right size.

    Here’s why I suggest you get a good FTP program. If you get FileZilla (or a similar program) you can check the directory structure and use drag-and-drop to copy files and preserve the directory structure. One thing to be careful of when unzipping & installing themes and plugins. When you unzip your theme, it will unzip to an emerald-waters-11 folder, but there will be another folder below this one, usually with an identical name. This sub-folder with the identical name is the one you need to FTP to your server. Otherwise you will end up with a directory structure that will be:

    ../wp-content/themes/emerald-waters-11/emerald-waters-11 [WRONG]

    ../wp-content/themes/emerald-waters-11 [RIGHT]

    If you haven’t made changes to your theme, the best place would be to get a basic understanding of folders using a program like FileZilla, delete your theme, and FTP it to the right location. You can select the default theme before doing anything of this so your blog is up and running while you change your theme.

    Hope that helps.
