As you can see my site is missing the theme - the elements have loaded to the internet but not SPLIT - I am using 6.3.8. I have “successfuly” published the files via rapidweaver and also uploaded the files via transit - still looks like this - the images and copy have all uploaded but the theme is missing. I am using dreamhost as the server nad it is an ftp site - i have changed the server, path, etc many times nad I get a clear test nad the files load but still only half the site.

Support on dreamhost told me i am missing files so I have attached alist of the files if anyone can tell me what the problem is - thank you ahead of time  
Jane

Did you try to “mark all pages and resources as changed” and then “re-publish all files” ?

I see, there is no css. The same like your screenshot.  
I use split in many projects.

Republish all files and delete browser cache. That must work.  
What do you see, when you change to preview in RapidWeaver?

Can not be.  
If you publish and delete browser cache it must work.  
With you the CSS data is missing, and the CSS is not on the server.

Save the project, shut down RapidWeaver, then re-open RW and the file.  
Then re-publish all files.

You can try another Theme (perhaps Tesla), re-publish all files and look, what happens.

… you delete the whole content on your server and then you re-publish again all files.

That must work, with you too 😉

I deleted all files on the server and republished via rapiweaver and transit - tesla will not work because you have to use one of their headers and this is for an artist who wants to promote his work - any other suggestions??? I am open to trying anyhitng - this has been crazy frustration

i just changed the theme to tesla and re-published - the files took 3 seconds to “republish” and now the site looks exactly the same - there has to be something wrong

The banner (in Tesla) is another problem/theme. That we can solve. But that nothing changed that’s strange. I see in the code of your site, that’s always split is the theme, not tesla.

You can also use **(for testing)** Alpha. That’s a very clean theme. Your site must work with all themes, I think/know!.

But it cannot be, that when you re-publish with the new theme Tesla and this took only 3 seconds.  
When you really re-publish with a new theme, that takes a minute.  
Something is wrong.

Re-publish all files. That’s what you do?

Yes - I click on “mark all pages nad resources as changed” then I empty cache then I click on republish all files - each time it only takes 3 seconds or less to republish. What’s more I deleted rapidweaver 6.8 and downloaded a new version and still nothing helped

If i may add my penniworth, surely your site should be INSIDE the “public\_html” folder.

Are you sure that you’re uploading your site to the right directory? I would try to upload all your files into the `public_html` folder (marked in pink in the screenshot below).

I changed the path to public\_html and the republishing actually took a whole minute but after I emptied the cache the site still looks the same
