Wordpress Bootstrap theme not working on mobile

I have been building a Wordpress bootstrap theme for a project that due in on friday. I uploaded my project so far to http://ryansmeetestsite.com/ to test in on my phone and the style sheets and JS files don't seem to be loading? All i'm seeing is a plain text version of the site.

Please help, major panic!

It's working for me. Except for your images, but that's because all the images src attribute is pointing at your local host.

When I click your link, it's taking me to the initial setup page for Wordpress. I'm guessing you don't want that. :)

What does your functions.php file look like? You're site's back up now

//fallback for < ie9 
    function themeJS() {

        global $wp_scripts;

        wp_register_script( 'html5Shiv', 'https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/html5shiv/3.7.0/html5shiv.js', '', '', false );
        wp_register_script( 'respondJS', 'https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/respond.js/1.4.2/respond.min.js', '', '', false );
        //load
        $wp_scripts->add_data( 'html5Shiv', 'conditional', 'lt IE 9' );
        $wp_scripts->add_data( 'respondJS', 'conditional', 'lt IE 9' );
        //add
        wp_enqueue_script('jquery');  // Enqueue jQuery that's already built into WordPress

        wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrap_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/bootstrap.min.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
        wp_enqueue_script( 'script_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/script-min.js', array('jquery', 'bootstrap_js'), '', true );

Do you have any thoughts?

Yeah i had updated my config file but for some reason it hadn't changed the css & js paths. After a little messign around I think I have sorted it. I now just need to do a find and replace in the db to change the urls from local to ryansmeetestsite.com. Do you know of any good migration tools that can move my wp local to my wp live and make all these changes for me?

Cheers

Hey Ryan it's working for me too now! I don't have first hand experience with any plugins built for moving WP sites, but for some reason I think I remember there being a video here about doing this, and the Duplicator plugin was used.
