This same issue happened yesterday, February 22nd.

Themes do not seem to be appearing correctly. The coding seems off or something. I am using Google Chrome for a browser.

Examples:

This is one of my students’ WP sites: https://samchristyblog.wordpress.com

This is another one of my students’ WP sites: https://wordfromthebyrd.wordpress.com

This is one from my own: https://the2shot.wordpress.com/2017/11/27/review-lady-bird-2017/

Again, this occurred on February 22, then the issue went away. Now it’s back. Is this issue unique to me?

Thank you.

Hi there,

All three sites appear normal on my end. Can you please share some screenshots so I can better troubleshoot this issue?

Here’s how to take a screenshot:

Once again, the issue seems to have been resolved. It is very strange. Things are back to normal now, but it’s happened twice now where themes do not work. Content appears the same, but the themes appear broken. I will post screenshots next time.

Has any other user been experiencing this same issue? I use WordPress in a class I teach, and my students were experiencing the same issues.

Hi again. Above is a link to a screenshot of the issue. I’m starting to this this issue may be geographic. This is happening at my work place: a university campus.

Hi there,

Thanks for the screenshot. Looks like the site is loading only the HTML part without the CSS styling.

If this is happening to a single computer then I suggest clearing the browser’s cache and cookies, disabling any extensions, or trying a different browser.

If this is happening to all the computers in your class then I suggest getting in touch with your network administrator to make sure that a firewall or other network configuration isn’t causing this issue.
