how to build a wordpress theme

I have tried and tried and tried again, but my wordpress theme that I tried to build doesn't work at all. Nothing shows up. It all works up until I try to download the flexslider. None of the code looks the same as in the video. I think it's a different version or something, because now nothing works and it is very frustrating.

Hi! Yes, it is a different version. Try looking here for the workaround :)

Hi nick, can you show your code? I had a couple of days with the dreaded white screen of death. There was a mistake I found with the javascript which should be:-

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('.flexslider').flexslider();
});

Are you properly enqueueing your flexslider CSS and JS? Problems in your function.php file can make your whole page go blank.
