Copying template and reusing doesnt work [solved]

Post by leerees »

I have a template "lightbiz2" http://www.free-css-templates.com/demo/LightBiz2/

What i want to do is have multiple versions of the template although when i copy the template and paste it back into a new one with "add new template" it gets all messed up. I've checked I've assigned the CSS correct.

Does anybody have any idea what it might be?

Thanks

If you've copied the entire template into a new one (with a different name) and assigned the exact same stylesheets to it, it should work.

What is "messed up" exactly?
Can you post a link?

How did you copy it?...

Went to Templates and clicked the stacked paper icon on the right, renamed it, submit?...

If you make a new template that way you have to make it active, you will see a red X meaning it is not active click it to make active then click the CSS icon to attach style sheets to it, the Accessibility CSS is a good one to attach or you can just open it and copy the dfn call to your CSS to get rid of the numbers in the menu...
