Theme Live Preview not working

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m actually using Coraline theme and I’d like to try a different one (Quest or Oceanic). I’ve downloaded them, but when I click on Live Preview button I just get the “hourglass” rolling for hours with no outcome. WP promises: “You can also find a Live Preview button at the bottom of the theme details screen. Any installed theme can be previewed and customized in this way.
    The theme being previewed is fully interactive — navigate to different pages to see how the theme handles posts, archives, and other page templates. The settings may differ depending on what theme features the theme being previewed supports. To accept the new settings and activate the theme all in one step, click the Save & Activate button above the menu.”
    Not my experience! I’m running WP 4.3 on my Mac. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance, Josef

  • As yours is a self-hosted WordPress.org based site, could you post your question to Coraline theme specific forum at WordPress.org forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/theme/coraline

    That is the best place to get help with your problem. Those forums require a separate account which you can create at https://wordpress.org/support/register.php

    This forum is exclusively to help WordPress.com users.

    In case you haven’t got a chance to know the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org (self-hosted WordPress site), I encourage you to check it: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  • This sounds like a WordPress core issue and not an issue with Coraline, so you can try posting in the general WordPress.org troubleshooting forum:

    As chaitanyamsv mentioned, these forums are for folks hosted here on WordPress.com.
