I have installed a new template (lemon twist) to my website and now the site does not function properly and I am not sure why.

The website was working fine with the yget default template but I uploaded lemon twist and when I went to the template management it did say that the template was compatible and so I uploaded it. Now I can even get into the website. When it does show up the site looks like basic HTML and none of the links work at all.

Do I have to wait until this is uploaded properly onto my server or what? The website is Social WTF / Published News

I really need help and I am new to this pligg thing, someone please help.

The problem is you did not point the correct path of the stylesheets (CSS) - and this is due to the incorrect value of {$my_pligg_base}

Try this:
  1. Go to Admin > Configure Social WTF > Location Installed
  2. Set the value of:
    Base URL: http://www.socialwtf.com
    Pligg Base Folder: Must be blank or you must see the value 'Click To Edit'

Or another option if the above will not work. Open pligg.tpl and find:
PHP Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{$my_pligg_base}/templates/{$the_template}/style.css" media="screen" />
<
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{$my_pligg_base}/templates/{$the_template}/includes/css/articles.css" media="screen" />
<
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{$my_pligg_base}/templates/{$the_template}/includes/css/comments.css" media="screen" />
<
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{$my_pligg_base}/templates/{$the_template}/includes/css/reset.css" media="screen" />
<
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{$my_pligg_base}/templates/{$the_template}/includes/css/typography.css" media="screen" /> 
replace with:
PHP Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.socialwtf.com/templates/{$the_template}/style.css" media="screen" />
<
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.socialwtf.com/templates/{$the_template}/includes/css/articles.css" media="screen" />
<
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.socialwtf.com/templates/{$the_template}/includes/css/comments.css" media="screen" />
<
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.socialwtf.com/templates/{$the_template}/includes/css/reset.css" media="screen" />
<
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.socialwtf.com/templates/{$the_template}/includes/css/typography.css" media="screen" /> 
I just hard-coded the complete URL of your site because we don't know the value of your {$my_pligg_base}

Your second idea did work for the homepage and it looks ok but I still cant click on any of the links or log in. Basically I can't even get into the site right now.

Is there a way to change to website back to the default templete of yget without going online to do it. What I mean is, can I change it back within the tpl or php files and basically go back to how it was before I put the new template into action.

I really appreciate your help on this...
