Upgrade 1.7.x to 2.6.x: Website styles exploded.

    So after an entire laundry list of stuff that has gone wrong,  I have finally “successfully” migrated a client’s old EE site to the latest version (at their insistence).

    The most vexing problem, as of this moment, is that the entire site has imploded all over itself. Insofar as I can tell, functionality remains nominally intact. However, the CSS is now a complete train wreck in spite of the fact that all of the styles are seemingly being referenced and are intact. I can access them through the template manager and make changes just fine..

    So why did this upgrade ruin everything? Is there a way to fix this?

    The client is, naturally, wholly displeased with this in spite of advanced warnings rendered.

    Some of the functionality is also broken, like drop down lists and so on. The site can be seen here:

    Is there a fix for this, or am I really going to have to try and rebuild all of the styles and functionality for a website I did not help create? My employers do not have the original employee(s) or design templates for the site- so I do not even have a real reference to go off of in the hopes of rebuilding.

    Please help..

    Well, when i go to your url, this is what I get:

    The system path does not appear to be set correctly. Please open your path.php file and correct the path.

    The path.php file is only used in EE v1, not EE v2. Are you trying to roll the site back? Can’t give you much help until you get your install stabilized.
