Jan Dembowski on "Site CSS/JS not working remotely"

Jason,

I just downloaded the newest version of WP, 4.5.2, unzipped it and did a global search for the word frameset.

Only three instances were found, in the files:

wp-includesclass-simplepie.php
wp-includesSimplePieSanitize.php
wp-includesID3readme.txt

The first two are in code which is sanitizing user input by removing forbidden tags - frameset is one that is being removed.

The last one is a reference in the readme file to a file (http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/quicktime/qtdevdocs/RM/frameset.htm) that does not exist.

You said that the frameset and frame tags were in the theme in the copy of WP you downloaded??

From where did you download it and what is the name of the the theme? You said it was 2016, is that it or was it twentysixteen.

Not being able to look at your local system I can't tell you if it is set up the same or why it might be working if it does use the same frameset/frame structure.

I can only tell you that no browser is going to process your css and js when the file the browser is "pointed to" is does not contain the css or js code but is, instead, a file with HTML creating a frameset and a frame whose source is the css or js - it just won't work.

I've installed many blogs with WP and have never encountered any frames "out of the box"

Are you sure that the frames aren't coming from MAMP, somehow?

I've got to run some errands - it is 1700 here (USA, CDT) I'll post another comment when I get back with ways to get rid of the frames.

In the mean time, it would help if you could isolate a copy of the blog so that changes we make will only affect that copy and no others you have installed.
