Every Theme Broken – Text & Links Only

    Hi everyone,

    I upgraded from version 2.0 to 2.8.6.

    I had trouble importing my database from mysql 4.0 to a new mysql 5.0 database.

    So for the time being, I’m using 2.8.6 which supports 4.0.

    The upgrade went fine except that every theme (classic, default, K2, etc) will only display black text and blue links.

    The sidebar, links, archives, etc all display at the very bottom rather than on the side as before.

    I can’t get any of them to display properly. I would love to just have the classic/default white/light blue theme back again.

    Here’s the blog url – http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/blog/

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Check the permissions on your wp-content and themes directories. I should be able to view this in a browser;

    But I get a 403 error.

    Thanks Clayton.

    I read up on the proper permissions for that folder and the files and changed them. Now the theme is showing up.

    Thanks!

    P.S.______________
    I was actually able to move over to mysql 5.

    I followed this guys directions specific to 1AND1 hosting for moving a mysql 4 db to 5.

    Since my db was so large, I had to change up the steps since the text import window was hanging (not responding).

    See my comment on his page if you get the same problem.

    (I had to export to a .sql file, remove the “create database” line with the old db name and update the two other lines that contained the old database name to the new mysql 5 db name.)
