I still have this problem and it is not confined to my localhostserver. The same referencing /404 problem is occuring online-see
https://www.buryknightschess.org.uk/play-chess/

I am most grateful for helpful replies

My further investigation shows that most of my template header links are returning 404 errors eg

<script type="text/ecmascript" src="/html5/common/xhr.js"></script>

<script type="text/ecmascript" src="chess.js"></script>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/html5/css/chess.css" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/html5/skins/gnomechess.css" />

I have tried:

and these links return 404 codes!

I do not know why this is happening? Can anyone help please?

It really seems that this problem is a serverside issue with a php & or apache server issue.
Other friends of mine have confirmed this (quote>>it looks like the clients server is not allowing fopen to connect to the image.
Make sure php allows this setting and the server is not in safe mode<<).
Frustratingly I have had no help yet from the webserver hosting.

Well I still have this problem.

I have tried removing the plugins & that has not been successful.
I tried a reinstall of WordPress & that has not fixed the problem.

Presently I am confused that the plugin/widget works fine in the theme on my localhostserver & on my online WordPress test site but it does not work on my friends site. I am still waiting for a reply & help from her webhoster.

All quite strange & of noone has posted any helpful replies here.

I remain committed to find the cause of this & fix it for my friend…

Why is WordPress help so hard to get?
I post here for help & get no reply-likewise on Twitter & Facebook & Google search gives no results. Direct emails get no replies.
So frustrating trying to fix problems with WordPress & run WordPress sites. So many supposed experts in WordPress all over the web/internet yet so many posts on this forum go unanswered & none now is interested unless there is a fee involved. Some bad community open source project this has turned into.

Never mind I WILL fix this somehow (I always do! DIY)but it is so much harder to do it alone.

I guess the charcter encoding is png format but why this is happening & how to fix it I do not know!

If there is anyone in the forum please reply helpfully….

Hi

My issue was because I run WordPress multisite I have to install themes via Network Admin interface.

So I logged on to Network Admin dashboard (login link on top right of theme admin)& went to Themes> add new> & checked it was activated & then on returning to my blog I went to admin dashboard> Appearance> Themes & the theme was available to activate on site.
This is a bit of a performance but not too much inconvenenience & I enjoy WP multisite (I have run it ever since WPMU days!).
I hope that helps? Goodluck…

Ok-I have fixed this myself.
I uploaded my gravatar.png photo of myself to Gravatar.com. Next I removed the recent custom gravatar.png (which was a photo of me I uploaded)& replaced with the original custom gravatar I had done with anIMass theme (selectable from the Discussion menu at admin page). Now my gravatar displays on my posts & the custom gravatar displays on all posts & emails without a gravatar! All sorted!

Hi alchymth
Thanks for your reply-I will check out your fix which seems very logical-many thanks

Not sure I understand your fix esmi-but thanks for your help.

I finally fixed this by applying max-width attribute to these css rules:

#content .aligncenter,
#content img.aligncenter {
clear: both;
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
max-width:550px;
}
Alleluia! Image + caption now displays properly (no longer escapes container).
{I already have another problem to fix- now getting this error message after trying to update posts:
Accountability
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/hilaryd/public_html/wp-includes/post-template.php:52) in /home/hilaryd/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 897

but this is another issue to fix!! oh deep joy! ?? }

Esmi
Yes you are right-the image is from an external url-so how do I code my css to control the max-width of this attachment div linked image?
(this came from WP latest test-data xml file I imported into the theme and against which all WP themes should be tested with to check everything works correctly).

The link attached image that is broken & escaping the container has a width 650px. Somehow WP should adjust the width to fit the container
(I have set the media settings large image to 500px).Here is the html from firebug for this image:
<div id=”attachment_612″ class=”wp-caption aligncenter” style=”width: 650px”>

Any other ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks esmi
However I already have content width set to 500px in functions.php eg:
if ( ! isset( $content_width ) )
$content_width = 500;

Any other idea what the problem is and why this isn’t working?
Best wishes

Thanks-I found ‘Network Admin’ and am able to add/delete themes as required now.

UPDATE
I rechecked my blog and looked at Network Admin page & found the theme I had added to Hostgator in a list of installed themes. I also noticed at that page at the top was a button to ‘Add New’ (theme). From this page I had to activate the theme. After doing this the new theme showed up in my list of available themes on my blog dashboard>Appearance>Themes and I was able to install it.

So this work around works & has solved the immediate problem (though why the ‘Install’ tab has been removed from Theme page in this new version is beyond me & seems unhelpful-but at least there is a way to get around this-although this seems more complex & time consuming & less simple).

I hope my experience may help anyone else who finds their ‘Install’ tab missing.

I have same problem-I went to my blog dashboard today to install a theme and there is no install tab!! I had earlier updated to latest version 3.1.2
