To start with, do you have a link that we could use to see this?
Addendum: I switched to another theme online until I can resolce this so anyone going to my site wont see the problem http://www.noqualblog.com.
I just switched back to tiga so you can see it. Aint it pretty?
Well, that’ll make it tough to look at!
So, try these two things (after you switch back to Tiga).
1) When viewing the page, do a full refresh in your browser (ctrl-F5, not just F5) and see if you have a cached view.
2) On your server (presumably with a ftp client or whatever tool you use to work with files on your server), navigate to wp-content/cache and delete (if any) all the files you see there, then try viewing from your browser again
Slow down Gerry! Lol. Ok, off to take a look
OK. Deleted the cache and did a full refresh (ctrl-F5) and still looks bad.
Well, that’s certainly lovely! And, at first glance, nothing leaps out at me.
The validator is choking on the double-quotes in your post titles. I’m grasping at straws here… but suppose you replace each ” with " instead?
Well, all of the double-quotes are gone – I hope, but it is still as pretty (ugly) as ever!
I guess double-quotes are not acceptable? Didn’t know that.
Loaded Netscape and it’s the same. Hmmmmm
Well, I’ve managed to see your theme as it should be seen (nice!) by using the firefox web developer plugin. *IT* manages to load up your CSS just fine. Yet, my browsers sure can’t.
I notice that your header refers to “style.php” instead of “style.css”
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.noqualblog.com/wp-content/themes/tiga/style.php"
type="text/css"
media="screen" />
I’m a little fuzzy on what that means or how that works, so will have to hang loose until someone brighter shows up. You might try, just for grins, changing the style.php to style.css just to see if anything magically changes.
Where do I send the roses?
That did it!
As I said before, I ever edited anything but I know Tiga supports a lot of changes and obviously some gremlin snuck in there.
Thanks so much!!!
Well good deal. Glad that something worked. 🙂 Hopefully it was a good solution — I’m still pondering that style.php file. Wonder if it does some smart stuff about deciding which CSS to present to the browser? Or if it was just a gremlin.
oh ho!
From the Tiga theme author’s page
If you need to configure the theme even further, you can edit ’style.php to add your changes.
Once you’re satisfied with your changes you can go to:-
http://your-wp-path/wp-content/themes/tiga/style.php
to retrieve the CSS file produces and save it in ’style.css’.
Important: Please do this from IE! This is because ‘style.php’ generates some extra codes for IE compatibility. So doing this from IE will ensure that this extra code is generated and your pages would look consistent in IE and also most modern browsers.
You can then switch to this stylesheet by selecting a checkbox in the admin page. You may also want to do this to produce a back up of your style changes.
oh yeah, for completeness:
I guess double-quotes are not acceptable? Didn’t know that.
They’re acceptable, but when used for titles or anything that’s going to become part of a hyperlink, is best if you enter them by code (" is just one example) to keep the validator’s happy.
In this case, it was obviously a red herring and you could probably go back to using them. Odd though, I was thinking that WP did that conversion from ” to code behind the scenes.
