# WordPress not rendering css? (not sure)

 * Hello, I recently followed a video on installing WordPress 5 and had several 
   issues.
    I am using Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and the latest version of WordPress. I
   downloaded the zip then installed using this:
 *     ```
       unzip -q latest.zip -d /var/www/html/
       chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress
       chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/wordpress
       mkdir -p /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/uploads
       chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/uploads
       ```
   
 * Then, I attempted to follow a video on making a WordPress website but noticed
   my default page did not look similar. This video was in 2019 so he was using 
   the same default theme, but his looked nicer.
 * I also noticed using themes didn’t result in a nice looking website and less 
   than half of the CSS / images weren’t being copied over or rendering.
 * I thought it was possible because I was forwarding HTTP to HTTPS, so I tried 
   HTTP and turned off forwarding but it still looked the same.
 * [Here is the comparison between my website and his.](https://imgur.com/a/9xtiNnS)
 * I am not sure what I did wrong, I tried reinstalling but found nothing worked.
   Any help would be appreciated.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwordpress-not-rendering-css-not-sure%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * hello
 * When you install the latest version of WordPress comes with Twenty Nineteen which
   is the theme that you are using at your website ( [https://trainmanegucci.tk](https://trainmanegucci.tk)).
 * the comparsion that you were seeing is one is Twenty Nineteen and the other one
   is Twenty Seventeen so the themes are different.
 * does that help.

 * Hi Nick,
 * I have looked at both of the images that you shared. There is nothing wrong with
   your Theme or CSS it is working fine. You are using the latest version of WordPress
   which comes with Twenty Nineteen default active Theme and in other image, The
   default theme is Twenty Seventeen. Both themes are different in looks.
 * If you want to use Twenty Seventeen Theme then you should these steps.
 * Goto your WordPress Website **dashboard > Appearance > Themes**. Here you will
   find all the themes. Activate the Twenty Seventeen theme.
 * Let me know if this helps you.

   Thanks for the replies. I switched to the Twenty Seventeen theme and it seems
   to be working fine. I just thought it was a WordPress issue due to some of the
   themes I added not adding all the images shown in the preview. Looks good now,
   thanks so much!
