Hi
Just an update:
What I did: I copied all the templates from the real site server to my local server.
And then I am not getting the error message anymore. I guess that was the solution to my problem. But now if I preview from the localhost/manager it will open the localhost/site, the template is not showing. I just got a white background and then, all the links from the real website.

Do I need to change the path of the images in my localhost/manager?
Please help I need your advise
Thanks

I need your help, please anybody there!!

Did you copy the assets/templates/<template-name> files to the local installation? The database only holds the resources and elements from the Manager, it does not deal with any files such as js, css or image files you may have in the original site.

<base href="[(site_url)]" />

goes in the <head> section of your templates.

If that doesn’t solve your problem, try doing an upgrade install (uncheck the sample site and all components).

Can you post the <head>...</head> section of your template? Also where, exactly, do you have MODx installed? In the root of your webspace (www, htdocs, public_html) or in a subdirectory?

if I go to the template this is what I see: I have two folders css and yaml
and under the css folder there are 5 folders and 1 file which is central.css
and this is the code I got:so not really sure where to find this base ref

@charset "UTF-8";
/**
 *
 * ------------------------------------------------------
 * Company - CENTRAL on top of YAML
 * ------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * @author 
 */

/* import core styles */
@import url(localhost/wikima4/assets/templates/wikima4/yaml/core/base.css);


/* import screen layout */
@import url(localhost/wikima4/assets/templates/wikima4/css/screen/basemod.css);
@import url(localhost/wikima4/assets/templates/wikima4/css/screen/content.css);

/* import navigation */
@import url(localhost/wikima4/assets/templates/wikima4/css/navigation/main_nav.css);
@import url(localhost/wikima4/assets/templates/wikima4/css/navigation/section_nav.css);

/* import search */
@import url(localhost/wikima4/assets/templates/wikima4/css/search/search.css);

/* import print layout */
/* @import url(/css/print/print_003.css); */

I answered this in the other thread. You really shouldn’t post in two areas, it only leads to confusion.
