(the bbnuke-option-page page). * You don’t necessarily need to register the style unless you’re likely to re-use it elsewhere… just the enqueue is sufficient if you’re only using it inside the plugin.. * eg. * ``` wp_enqueue_style( 'bbnuke_admin_styles', BBNPURL . 'css/bbnuke-admin-plugin.css' ); ``` * So you could actually drop the register style code altogether.. * For checking the registered styles, you can print out the `$wp_styles` var.. * Thread Starter [christian_gnoth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/christian_gnoth/) * (@christian_gnoth) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/enqueue-styles-for-plugin/#post-1749888) * still not working. * I have putted it in * add_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘bbnuke_print_styles’); * ``` function bbnuke_print_styles() { global $plugin_url; if ( is_admin() ) { // wp_register_style('bbnuke_admin_styles', BBNPURL .
