Title: Theme only loading header.php Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Theme only loading header.php * Resolved [IvanovSI](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivanovsi/) * (@ivanovsi) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-only-loading-headerphp/) * I am making an offline site of a currently live site so that I may add things to it and make changes and make sure that they don’t mess everything up. I have installed wordpress on the local server, then imported the .sql files from the live site in to the offline one. If it makes a diffrence the live site is on version 3.4.2 if that does any things also here is the link to it : [Link](http://nycecontrol.com) * Then I upload the theme to the site. When I check the site its all blank. I have no-plugins so thats not the issue, then I switched to the twenty elven theme and it worked just fine. * For some reason, the theme that works fine on the live site does not work on the offline site. * When I look at the source code on the blank page it turns out that only loads part of the header.php and on top of that it doesn’t even load the entire thing. So my logical explanation is that something is wrong with the header.php Also just a note, I did not make this, so If you see some strange things that should not be there, tell me please. * So this is what I copied from the Editor * ``` <? if ( is_home() ) { bloginfo('name'); echo(' — '); bloginfo('description'); } else wp_title('',true); ?> 2 )) || is_date() || is_category()) { echo ''; } ?> >
``` * But this is what it shows on the site * ``` ``` * Any help would be appreciated, sorry if there are horrendous grammatical errors and such, been trying to make this offline site work for a few days now * *Edit and I just saw that there was a forum for offline sites. Sorry could a Mod move it to the right place Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-only-loading-headerphp/#post-3248948) * try and replace all php shorttags ` SandBox 1 — Just another WordPress site
``` * Any help would be useful, also this is an offline server so I can try really crazy things to fix it.. * Interesting thing If I copy the code I pasted above put it in notpade and make and Html it looks like what the site does right now * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-only-loading-headerphp/#post-3249004) * what is the code of index.php right now? * seems to be fixed? * the output of the link you posted right at the begininng validates ([http://validator.w3.org/](http://validator.w3.org/)) and shows formatted header, content, and footer in FF17. the ‘products’, ‘support’, and ‘company’ pages show a sidebar as well. * Thread Starter [IvanovSI](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivanovsi/) * (@ivanovsi) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-only-loading-headerphp/#post-3249006) * The link I posted is the Main Online Website, Im trying to create an offline version of it, a sandbox so I can update the site with worrying about breaking it * ```
*/ ?> ``` * That is the Index.php * Also I think theres a database problem on top of this, when ever I import the data base from the main site it only loads the header.php * *Edit, So What I ment, was when I import the database with PhpMyAdmin it messes everything up(As in a complete blank page), but if I do it with WordPress it does not(As in there is at least some text and it loads the footer. * Also any other pages just load the header, what I mean by that is if I go to the page and view the page source I only see the code that is in the header. Code is in the first post * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-only-loading-headerphp/#post-3249008) * what is `get_a_post(35);` ? * is that a custom function? * otherwise, there is no code for the loop – [http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop) * is the Main Online Website also based on WordPress and using the same code? * Thread Starter [IvanovSI](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivanovsi/) * (@ivanovsi) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-only-loading-headerphp/#post-3249012) * Yes the main website is running the exact same code and its fine. And I honestly have no clue, but I think it might be. * *Edit Just did a completely new and fresh install of wordpress and made sure it was the newest version (3.4.2) and still the same problem. * Thread Starter [IvanovSI](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivanovsi/) * (@ivanovsi) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-only-loading-headerphp/#post-3249014) * Last post, Found the problem. * The person who was working on the site felt that extra Javascript files should not be placed in the folder with the theme, but rather store them in a separate folder in the index folder of the site. * Thank you for you help.
