I recently created a blog. The site looks fine when I open it(apart from a small problem that it shows me http://apptech.net.previewdns.com/ in the url instead of http://www.apptec.net.

Problem

When someone else opens the site, it showsthe url apptec.net and the .css files are not loaded on the browser as a result he sees the site without the css files.

What have I tried

I have tried to log out as the admin and then see the site but it shows the site with the .css files to me in both cases.

My Request

I don't get what is wrong. I would be very thankful if anyone could help me out.

Thanks

    Sounds like you may have the wrong path for your css file Can you include your HTML where you call your CSS file? Commented Dec 14, 2011 at 12:45

  • It was an error due to wrong url submission. The webhosting was bought on a different name and I was installing another domain on it. It had the url of the old domain. Commented Dec 15, 2011 at 0:24

Looks like Wordpress thinks it is installed at the previewdns domain. Log into your admin, go to settings (wp-admin/options-general.php) and check your WordPress address (URL) and Site address (URL) are correctly set to the main domain.

EDIT

It seems that you've done that now, and have a different problem - it looks like your chosen theme - 'Genesis' - is not active on the live server. Again, you should be able to fix this in your Wordpress admin panel, in Appearance.

Thankyou. The wordpress address was written wrong. Once I put the right address everything worked fine.

Your css link is incorrect.

Change it to a relative link and that should work fine. When I type in the address http://apptech.net/wp-content/themes/genesis/style.css I get a page not found error.

Your css files are going to a 404 page: http://apptech.net/wp-content/themes/genesis/style.css

My theory is that your site is using a <?php get_template_directory(); ?> to set the path to your theme files.

Try changing your WordPress Address and Site URL under Settings to apptech.net

Alternately, you could go into your theme's header.php and find any <?php get_template_directory(); ?> and replace them with absolute paths to your css, images, and javascript.
