Full Version: I've Got No Style
Movable Type Community Forum > Using Movable Type > Default Stylesheets

I already posted this but it doesn't seem to be showing up so apologies if it turns up twice.

I just finished my install and all is good and I'm really liking movable type. My blog showed up fine with the default style but once I changed it within style catcher there is now no style whatsoever. I have tried all I can think of to put it right, it always says the style was successfully changed but it doesn't. If you need to see what is actually happening the site is www.slooude.net

Your styles-site.css file contains the following:
CODE
/* This is the StyleCatcher theme addition. Do not remove this block. */
@import url(http://www.slooude.net/html/mt-static/themes/base-weblog.css);
@import url(http://www.slooude.net/html/mt-static/themes/theme-travel/theme-travel.css);
/* end StyleCatcher imports */

Each of those imported URLs (added by StyleCatcher) result in a 404 error. The most common reason for that is that there is a problem with your configuration settings for the plugin.

What is the Theme Root URL and Theme Root Path set for the StyleCatcher plugin? Do those paths/URLs exist, and correspond correctly to each other?

The Theme Root URL is: http://www.slooude.net/mt-static/themes/

The Theme Root Path is: /home/11078/domains/slooude.net/html/mt-static/themes

this is the only combination I can get to show the currently installed theme thumbnail in style catcher any other combination i've tried results in a question mark showing where the thumbnail should be.

If the Theme Root URL is set to http://www.slooude.net/mt-static/themes/ it is very odd that the stylesheet is referencing the files at http://www.slooude.net/html/mt-static/themes/ - have you tried reapplying the theme, or a different theme?
slooude
Yes I've tried all the themes even tried disabling the plugin and enabling but still nothing I've changed settings to:

Theme root url: http://www.slooude.net/html/mt-static/themes/

Theme root path: /home/11078/domains/slooude.net/html/mt-static/themes

and they show up fine in the plugin just the site doesn't change could it be that I've installed something incorrectly?

EDIT:

Fixed it. I removed the html from the path and it worked I've applied a few themes and there switching fine thank you for your help if it wasn't for you I would never have looked at the file paths I was sure they where right. biggrin.gif

What is your StaticWebPath? Is it http://www.slooude.net/html/mt-static/ or http://www.slooude.net/mt-static/ ?

Unless you actually have a subdirectory named /html/ within the root web-accessible directory, I think it's likely that the correct settings would be:

Theme Root URL: http://www.slooude.net/mt-static/themes/
Theme Root Path: /home/11078/domains/slooude.net/html/mt-static/themes

You'll see that the file's aren't found at:

http://www.slooude.net/html/mt-static/themes/base-weblog.css

But are at:

http://www.slooude.net/mt-static/themes/base-weblog.css

So, your settings should probably be as noted above. After you've adjusted the settings for the plugin (o the System Overview > Plugins listing (and on the weblog level if you changed them there, too), and saved that change, try changing the theme again, or different theme, and rebuild your weblog (including the Stylesheet template).

What happens then?

Think we posted at the same time smile.gif I edited my previous post the problem is fixed thank you so much biggrin.gif
