Moved to Server

  • Hi There

    For the last month or so I have been building a WordPress site on my local machine via XAMPP.

    The company I work for have bought a server, which they want me to continue working on with the WordPress files.

    I moved all of my files over to the equivalent template location but wordpress is not picking up my templates.

    Does anyone know why this would be?

    Any help is apprecaited

    Cheers

    Richard

  • Did you upload your files to wp-content/themes/ folder?

    If yes, did you get any warning or error messages at the bottom of your website.com/wp-admin/themes.php?

    yes pothi is right just confirm that you are putting your template directory inside the themes directory. that is the main reason and does your wordpress is displayng other templates or not.

    Hi Guys

    Yes, I have structured my files in exactly the same way they were structured on my local machine through XAMPP.

    We had hoped it was just a caching issue, I had the server guy reset the server but it has come back the same.

    I’m not sure exactly where I should be looking for error messages.

    My theme files are in the same location on the server as they were on my local machine:

    server/Test/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyten

    Obviously the same folder as the original twentyten theme files.

    They also have the correct code at the top (the same as the original files):

    <?php
/*
Template Name:Products Page
*/
?>

    frustration with a capital F!

    Check all your file, folder and user permissions around this issue. Possibly it has something to do with read/write privileges?

    Hi Erik

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    The server guy has changed permissions but it still doesn’t let wordpress see my templates ??

    Any other ideas?

    Cheers

    What’s the website address, if you don’t mind sharing?

    Its for the moment on a private server location, so no one outside our office can access it unfortunately.
