Serendipity Forums

I did a new installation of Serendipity 1.1. I untarred the file into the root directory of my website. It stopped me about permissions. I changed the root directory to 1777, changed the other directories that were mentioned to 777. Installation continued. Everything works okay except when I choose a theme, it won't apply. It says it applied the theme, but it doesn't show it.

If I add the plugin that lets you choose a theme from the sidebar menu, then that works.

I must have permissions set incorrectly somewhere, but I can't find what to set.

Any suggestions for me?

Hi!

After you switched a style, did you refresh your browser cache when loading your frontend?

The template switcher plugin does that automatically, but if you manually change a theme, your browser must load the new styles properly...?

Best regards,

Hi Garvin.

I feel so stupid. Such a simple solution to a problem that wasn't a problem. You are right. When I hit the refresh button, it switches to the new style.

Thank you for being patient. Thank you for your help.

Hi!

No reason to feel stupid. That's what we're here for. You asked kindly and described everything well enough, so don't blame yourself

Have fun,
Garvin
