No CSS is showing on the page. (9 posts)

    I'm currently in the process of converting a static site into a WordPress theme, although no CSS is showing on my page?

    The style.css file is located in the same folder as my index.php, header.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files.

    Heres the code for my header.php:

    <head>
    <meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" />
    <title><?php
    	/*
    	 * Print the <title> tag based on what is being viewed.
    	 */
    	global $page, $paged;
    
    	wp_title( '|', true, 'right' );
    
    	// Add the blog name.
    	bloginfo( 'name' );
    
    	// Add the blog description for the home/front page.
    	$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
    	if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
    		echo " | $site_description";
    
    	// Add a page number if necessary:
    	if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 )
    		echo ' | ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s', 'twentyten' ), max( $paged, $page ) );
    
    	?></title>
    <link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php bloginfo( 'stylesheet_url' ); ?>" />
    <link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>" />
    <?php
    	/* We add some JavaScript to pages with the comment form
    	 * to support sites with threaded comments (when in use).
    	 */
    	if ( is_singular() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) )
    		wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );
    
    	/* Always have wp_head() just before the closing </head>
    	 * tag of your theme, or you will break many plugins, which
    	 * generally use this hook to add elements to <head> such
    	 * as styles, scripts, and meta tags.
    	 */
    	wp_head();
    ?>
    </head>
    
    <body>
    
    	<div id="container">
    
    		<header id="header">
    
    			<h1 class="franklin"><a href="http://charlieswebsites.com"><span></span>charlieswebsites</a></h1>
    
    			<nav id="nav">
    
    				<ul>
    
    					<li class="franklin"><a href="#"><div>Home</div></a></li>
    					<li class="franklin"><a href="#"><div>Portfolio</div></a></li>
    					<li class="franklin"><a href="#"><div>CV</div></a></li>
    					<li class="franklin"><a href="#"><div>Blog</div></a></li>
    					<li class="franklin"><a href="#"><div>Contact</div></a></li>
    
    				</ul>
    
    			</nav>
    
    			<br style="clear:both" />
    
    		</header>

    btw: your linked site does not look much like a wordpress installation.

    your stylesheet does not get found, probably due to the missing file path;

    the common line to call the stylesheet in a wordpress theme is:

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php bloginfo( 'stylesheet_url' ); ?>" />

    have you read
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development

    another good starting point is to disect a few of the free themes, including the standard theme Twenty Ten that comes with the wordpress installation, to see how other people do it.

    It is a wordpress installation, I am creating my own.

    I already have that call to stylesheet in my header.php file.

    it is interesting how the system translates that to:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

    which is from the html of your site in the browser.

    are you sure you have linked to the right site, or are editing the right files?

    charlie please provide a link to the WordPress portion of your site, not to your old design.
