Backlight Worpress Theme breaks site after visiting

I have just started with the Wordpress theme in Backlight. When I click through the menu items on my site (Home, Galleries, Travels, About, Journal) and back all works fine. However, when I click on Journal (Wordpress) and select the sample post to look at (go into the post), when I return to any of the other pages on my site the formatting is broken. Refreshing the pages does not seem to help.

You can try it out on http://terriandcharles.com

Any thoughts for this newbie would be welcome. Thanks.

Re: Backlight Worpress Theme breaks site after visiting

it looks like this is being caused because your post address starts with https:// yet the rest of your site is http://
When viewing the post and hovering over the menu items, the address shown for the link back to the rest of your site starts with https://
All of your styling (css files) urls start with http though so the styling isn't found. And that's why you're losing formatting

Is your WordPress installation set up so that the posts use https?

Are you using a plugin that affects the menu so that it uses https?

You may be able to edit the WordPress menu to replace the https in each menu item with http.

Or, if the rest of your site is supposed to be using https, you'll need to change that in Backlight Settings > Site URL

Thanks Rod. That was the problem. I used an auto installer to setup WordPress and didn't check closely what it had done. I really appreciate the help.
