Selecta broken on home server
-
I started a portfolio here using the Selecta theme and had it 90% to where I wanted it with the last tweaks probably requiring me to switching to self-hosting so I can mess in the CSS. However, when I have uploaded the theme to my server and then imported from my WP.com version, half the features of the theme are now broken.
– Slider no longer contains images
– Changing # blog posts appearing on page makes no changes
– site name and tag line do not show up, “selecta” still shows on the header bar
– no home page button on top nav
(trying to rebuild on secondary site here: http://kstanderson.com/)I downloaded the theme zip file from OBox directly. I have the most recent version of WordPress installed. I’m puzzled. Did importing from WP.com cause the glitches?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The .com version has been built differently in order to be optimized for here WordPress.com and the theme works is totally different from the self-hosted version. So if you are using the self-hosted version now, I would suggest you to follow an instruction for the self-hosted version of the theme.

Oh, dang. Well, that explains it. Looks like I will have to find a new theme. The designer doesn’t provide any sort of support or good instructions for self-hosting, and the only reason I wanted to self-host was so I could edit some of the CSS which I understand we can’t do on WordPress.com.
