   I can't seem to get the stylesheet for my custom theme working. I've tried both absolute and relative linking and I refresh the browser using CTRL + F5. I've also disabled off varnish cache using .htaccess.

   Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

   The link href should be the full absolute URL to the stylesheet. Something like:

   <link href="http://myserver.mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/urbanwords/style.css" media="all" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">

   If you paste the href into your browser's address bar and hit return, you should see the stylesheet code in the browser window. For example, here's one I did earlier:

   http://www.urbanwords.org.uk/wp-content/themes/urbanwords/style.css

   If your stylesheet doesn't show up you need to check all the URL parts to find out which bit is wrong.

   Couple of other things to check:

   1. Your stylesheet is called style.css
   2. The proper comment block appears at the top of the stylesheet

   Good luck.

   Cheers

   the code to call the style.css of a theme would generally be:

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

   (assuming that you followed the standard folder and file structure)

   Thanks for the help both of you.
   The style works properly with the following <link> code:

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