This is a bit strange!
I have a site that I've upgraded from ATA 3.7.3 to 3.7.10. (WP 3.5.1) It's been running just fine for years before and after upgrading... No problems!

I was doing a pagespeed test and noticed that the css and js were not in an external file. So I went to the ATA "Configure CSS and JS" settings page and changed to "External" and saved. Upon refreshing the front page... All css and formatting went away. I went back to Inline and all's fine again.

I combed through the BFP archives and found this thread...
http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...nal+css+broken
and tried the "Remove bfa_ata4 from the database" but that made no difference.

Any clue as to why selecting External files breaks the site? I have had no problems on other sites...

I'm scratching my head!

do you have a caching plugin active?

You almost had me! No, no caching plugins active nor even installed. But your message made me realize that I'm using CloudFlare via Bluehost and *they* cache.

So I went to external and checked the site - css gone. Went to CloudFlare and purged the cache, even purged my browser cache... Still no css on the site...

what is the site.

p.s. am in the northeast with blizzard conditions...so we could lose electricity.

Hi Juggledad,

It's wisewomanshining.com I've enabled debug if that helps.

Whereabouts are you? I'm from just north of Boston originally. I've heard that this one's supposed to be a doozy. I wonder if it will compete (I hope not) with the Blizzard of '78.

Thanks!
Ken

south west of boston in the 24-30+ region - travel has been banned in the entire state!
(Blizzard of 78 has 27.5 inches and I was in Avon at the time)
Let me take a look

site is showing fine for me in chrome on a mac - oh, but the css is inline.
send me a PM with an admin ID/PW and I'll peek

I would
1) try disabling ALL the plugins at the same time and test it
2) remove duplicate plugins 0 you have two database backup plugins
3) check your .htaccess file - for some reason when you try to display the css external file

you get tossed to teh blog page. It should display the file...unless something is messing with it like a plugin or th ehtaccess file.

Hi Juggledad,
Thanks so much for looking at things!
Turned out to be a plugin, that in retrospect - of course it was the problem!
It was Scott Yang's Permalink Redirect plugin
http://scott.yang.id.au/code/permalink-redirect/

It had been on the site for years and I had forgotten all about it!

Remove the plugin.. and Atahualpa External CSS and JS work just fine!

Hope you found Nemo not to be a problem!

Thanks!
Ken
