[Solved] Wordpress Migration

  • I am transfering an html site to wordpress.
    I built the wordpress site a folder on the FTP called "Wordpress".
    I tried to swap our the html site for the wordpress site. I put the old site in a folder called html, then I took all the wordpress files out of the "wordpress" folder so they would be on the top level of the site.

    I then made sure that any paths I had put into the code reflected the new path (top level).

    When I make the transfer, the site is not reading the style.css file. Any ideas of why this might be happening?

    here is the site
    www.revannielawrence.com
    www.revannielawrence.com/wordpress
    (the wordpress site looks a litte funky here because the paths to some of the images are releflect when it will live and on the top level of the site)..


    Thanks for any feedback
  • Did you change the Wordpress/Site addresses in the Wordpress settings? If those settings still have /wordpress after the domain dynamic links to files (such as the stylesheet) will be incorrect as they no longer exist where Wordpress thinks they do.

    Hope this helps.
  • Of course! That's it. I knew it must have been something small like that.
    Thanks so much!!!
