    I just installed WP for the first time. All went well till trying to view the page. I can not.
    Under Design it tells me that the sytlesheet is missing. After the install and before uploading the template I had to create the themes directory. first I uploaded the contents of the theme “your-existane” folder to the themes directory, and recived the stylesheet is missing error.
    Then I uploaded the theme “your-existane” folder to the themes folder. and nothing happened.
    here is the URL: https://elementalchanges.com/acupuncture
    there is a website int the root now thats why the sub folder.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you check if style.css is in the folder that you have uploaded and also check if it is on your local machine? It has happened with me too and after banging my head on so many places i found out that the zip filde i downloaded from a third party website did not include style.css in the zipped folder.

    One more thing
    Your-Existane theme files should be in wp-content/themes/your-existane

    if it is in wp-content/themes/your-existane/your-existane/ then upload it in the correct directory.

    thanks desiupdate,

    style.css is in the themes\your-existence folder. It seems strange that when style.css in the themes\your-existence it does not give me the error. But when style.css is in the themes folder it give me an error.

    it seemed strange to me the I had to create the themes folder.

    any more ideas on what to check?

    Thanks, Blake

    in Design it also says it needs a template. is that a file also? if so what file? Maybe that is whats missing?

    the path to style.css is /httpdocs/acupuncture/wp-content/themes/your-existence/style.css
    does anyone have a suggestion. I realize this is a conman question in the forums.
    As I said before I also had to create the themes folder. seems odd.

    Thanks, Blake

    change design to default theme. does the site appear there? if so, the theme you uploaded is not good – change it.

    Hummm, there is no default theme. I am new to WordPress. Other wise I may have noticed this.
    Maybe my install is bad? How do I start over? delete the containing folder?
    Any other ideas?

    Yeah, you should have default theme in plain install of WordPress. Suggest you FTP/reupload WordPress files and folders and make visual check that all are up there in server.

    mercime thank you.
    I reuploaded the WP install package. Then the default theme was there. Part of my FTP upload failed last night I guess.
    Again mercime thank you very much.

    How Do I delete my posts? A totally random webpage is showing my posts here. Or can I edit it to remove the URL?

    Please help.
