Css file not loading for others

Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.
