# easel theme: single.php and comments.php

 * The easel theme is what I’m using. I’ve tried to integrate wordpress into an 
   already existing website. Everything with the blog is working except the formatting
   when reading a post or when commenting on a post. What is happening is the page
   is loading but is not referencing the correct style sheet. So in my header.php
   I reference different styles.css but when the single.php or the comments.php 
   loads it reads the default css file and therefore my webpages display incorrectly.
   You can see the example here:
 * [http://www.idodeclaremusic.com/blog](http://www.idodeclaremusic.com/blog)
 * Click a comment and see how the page defaults to the wrong format. How can I 
   hard set any post link to properly call the correct CSS Style that I want the
   page to load as. I left the original styles.css in the easel template alone and
   simply tried pointing everything to another style sheet for the header call. 
   Then the index and such could still reference the style of the easel that I like…
 * Any help is greatly appreciated. I’m new to wordpress and I’m stuck here before
   our page goes live. ;-(
 * Thanks,
    Austin

 * try to use for instance `get_stylesheet_directory_uri()` or similar to build 
   the paths to the images and styles

 * I’m sorry. I’m not understanding why your function would assist me? I know what
   Styles are being referenced and where the files are. What I don’t understand 
   is why the single.php file, which makes the header call, loads the web page incorrectly.
   However all other pages make the same header call and load just fine. It’s only
   when reading a post or making a comment in the single post view. It’s something
   about those two pages on this template. It’s almost like they are not truly making
   the full header call. When I compare the source code from page to page things
   appear somewhat similar, but in different orders.
 * I need to use both style sheets, but I can’t figure out why these pages are dropping
   the style sheet referenced in the header when it makes the header call…

 * simple: at the level of a single posts, you are running out of `../`

 * Right… That is why it is able to reference the default style sheet in the themes
   main directory. In header.php I have referenced my other style sheets by using
   the full server path name. I’m simply not understanding why these php pages are
   ignoring the header, but other pages are not. I can try making a copy of the 
   other style sheets and placing them in the default theme path and renaming it…
   Is that what you are getting at?
