I read your posts about it being related to the CSM not having any data in it so I tried a bunch of different things and here is what I found.

When I did the vbulletin install, at the last step I choose not to have vbulletin populate the CSM with data that I would just have to remove later. No matter what I did at that point...after the theme install I could create CSM items, and they would show in the CSM manager, but not on the content.php page. No posts or navbar data. I could create something... hit refresh and it would just go away.

Since this was a new install for me, I deleted the database and then reinstalled but let vbulletin add the junk CSM data at install. I then re-ran the style import since all the files were still there and everything now looks and acts like it should. The graphics now look correct and everything works like it should for the most part.

So this may not help someone that cannot delete their database, but anyone putting this into a new board needs to have the junk data added and everything will look like it should.

Thanks for your work on 2 fantastic WoW themes!!

Firstly, thank you for your kind comment.

The default data input during install is a real horror of a problem if you choose not to run it, I have asked for support in installing the default data 'after' installing the vbulletin core but got nowhere. It is a serious problem as many heavily customised styles such as these just will not work properly without the data being there, I cannot fathom why to be honest. It is a real nuisance that there is as yet no way of installing the default data post core install, I wish I could provide you all with a solution to this problem but until vbulletin provides us with a method to install the default data post core install I am at a loss.
