8,815 PointsIssue on display all the pages
I am almost done with WordPress Theme Functions, but can not find my mistake. Even though I included menus and posts, I can not see it on my local server. The path is right and on themes/edit code i can see all the files are right. Also I activated my custom themes and i can see it on dashboard. For example: When i go to localhost/wp_project/home, nothing even there is some codes with menus.
What are the reasons that single-post.php or home.php files would not show anything?

When you View the Source code of the pages in question, is there anything there, or partially there?

15,479 PointsOkay, you have your PHP templates visible on your Dashboard/ Admin view, what you mean is that you can't see it in your server directory, is that right?

15,479 PointsOK, when you go to view your site in the browser, right click and View Page Source. Is there HTML there? If so, does it look like it is complete or no?

15,479 PointsDo other pages display, or are they all empty, with no source code behind them?

8,815 PointsAll the source codes are empty. It could be related to my folder. Because when i go to localhost and there are 3 folders. The one i am working on is "wordpress_theme1" and when i click , it shows server error. On admin area i can see all the files, but no contents.
What did i do wrong? Seems directories not connected or its code error.

15,479 PointsSometimes WordPress themes refer to the name of the theme folder in a bunch of different templates. If you started the project with a theme folder with a specific name, and it worked then, you might try changing that back.
Let me know how you started the project and at what point it stopped working.

8,815 PointsI changed main folder name once and it worked when i added get_footer and get_header inside front-page.php. After i added :
<?php get_header(); ?>
<p>This is front-page.php</p> <?php if ( have_posts() ): while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3> <?php the_content(); ?> <hr> <?php endwhile; else: ?> <p>There are no posts or pages here.</p> <?php endif; ?> <?php get_footer(); ?>
It start give me server error.

15,479 PointsIf you have a copy of the original templates you started with, try putting those back. Be sure to save copies of the templates you have now for looking at later. This is something I do a lot, to make sure I can backtrack to a safe place before I make changes.
If you can back to a place where things work, try changing lines a little bit at a time, and make sure that things keep working.
