But looks great on localhost. But broken on server.

    I uploaded my database and files and changed my wp-config file to match, but for some reason, it looks wonky when deployed on the server. It looks fine on my local machine. There are discrepancies between the two. I just don’t know what could have gone wrong.

    I’m not sure what the issue is. All I know is that my site works on my localhost, but on the server it looks closer to the original theme (which I do not want).

    It looks like this: http://davelilly.d.pr/H84f (To see it live, go to age.davelilly.com)
    …when it should look like this: http://davelilly.d.pr/q4fe

    There are some real issues I see. I noticed that…
    1. All of my media files are on the server in WordPress, however the logo in the top left is not displaying
    2. The home page on the server looks closer to the original theme (called “ShopIsle”) and not like the child theme I created on my localhost. None of my images, but instead the images that came with the theme.
    3. In the back end of WordPress if you go to Appearance>Menus the menu selected as “Primary Menu” on localhost was once selected on my localhost as “Primary Menu”(http://davelilly.d.pr/FAno). Now though, on the server, it is deselected.

    It’s as though none of the settings in WP were carried over?

    Is the issue that I put the site into a sub-directory?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    We cannot help with that here at WordPress.COM. That site is not on our servers. You are posting to the wrong support forum. You need to post to wordpress.ORG support.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, and many people get confused about the two.

    The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

    This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
    (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
    (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.

    Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.com/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

    Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/

    Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
    http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack

    However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
