[Resolved] Cannot get the fresh installation to show theme corectly

[Goldstein]

Hi Guys,

I have spent hours on this and cannot get the fresh installation to show themes correctly. I have tried multiple serves, browser, dedicated WordPress app from vultr and yet the theme is not showing correctly. What am I missing? Here is my current sandbox installation It’s a fresh testing site with fresh generatepress theme. No images, no styling…

Can somebody provide some hints…

thank you

Hi there,

are you wanting to install a site from our Site Library ?

If so can you first install the GP Premium Plugin:

Hi David,

I got little bit further now. I was able to run the theme on vultr WordPress image. However, doing it locally on my server I was unable to properly show the theme. Here is how the theme looks like:
https://picshare.link/ib/5O1NuYWm3x
The error I’m getting is here:
https://picshare.link/ib/AqgfUDjt3o
There is one solution claiming that remove any “echo” from theme scrip would fix it. Obviously this is not a solution! Have you encountered something like this before? I have done this million times so not sure what is happening.

UPDATE: I have tried English WordPress installation and same issue. Just wanted to rule this out.

So when you try importing a site from our site library – what happens ?

[Goldstein]

No errors. Import works well and all as expected. However, the website looks like this: https://picshare.link/ib/5O1NuYWm3x

No idea at this point…

[David]

So in the backend – can you see the posts, pages, media that was imported with the site ?

Hi David,

I have checked the file directly on the filesystem and it is corrupted:

identify uploads/2022/09/logo-flow.svg 
identify-im6.q16: Document is empty

Here is the filesystem view of files related to generatepress:

15 directories, 140 files

Just wondering…My local site is hosted locally with no proper FQDN. It’s localhost only. I do not think that this should be an issue.

thank you

Hi David,

I have reinstalled the entire server. Re-downloaded generatepress plugin just in case its corrupted. Also increase filesize upload but still issue. Feel free to try.

[David]

I am not sure what you need me to do – that URL you provided takes me to the WordPress setup page.
If you can share a url where WP is setup with GP and GPP installed then i can try running the import to see whats happening.

[Goldstein]

Sure here it is. thank you for your help..

Hi David,

I’m closing this. I did not find the answer however it is clear that it has nothing to do with generatepress theme. In any case thank you for your help.
