The theme seems to work fine under localhost – the problem occurs when I upload it to the host site. I’ve already reuploaded it 3 times and still get the same problem. I thought about changing it in the appearance settings but I wasn’t sure that would change it when I then uploaded it to my host site.

Perhaps I’m uploading it wrong? (total newbie sorry). I assumed that by uploading all the files (php, css, db) and images I have to the host site, it would (theoretically) be the same as how it appears in localhost?? All the files are in root of the host site, they don’t need a special file name etc. to work for this host.

Hope that sheds some light. Thanks for replying Samboll.

Okies, I think I’ve realised what my problem is finally ??

Hey,

perhaps you could shed some light on this too?
Please don’t think I haven’t tried to fix this by searching for hours through google… writing on here is a last resort… my brain is fuzz :S.

I already have all the php files I need for my blog (thanks to following a wonderful tutorial) and the basics for my css file.
Prior to today, all the editing I made to the css file resulted in the appropriate changes in my blog. Now nothing happens. Any idea why that could be?

Also, the only address I have for my blog is https://localhost/wordpress/ . How do I share my blog with others? Is there where the FTP program comes in? Do I not have a filehost like I think I have?

yes I do realise I lack a lot of knowledge in this area – all I wanted to do was design a nice original blog :P. Sadly none of it’s obvious to me yet because I don’t know what everything does.

You’re right, I didn’t read all the documentation. I have followed your advice and I’m currently reading through the rest of it.

I realise now why I became so confused. I found that “self install wordpress” tutorial page through a “design your own wordpress theme” tutorial page… the theme design page says to download an ftp program.

Good to know I can just completely forget about fileZilla. I appreciate your help. Please remember that nobody is born knowing everything and newbies are prone to becoming confused with the quantity of information they have to learn.

Cheers again.
