 * I have added the following code to my functions.php file, but my theme is only
   being shown as blank:
 *     ```
       <?php
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
       function theme_enqueue_styles() {
           wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . 'http://www.giftforgag.com/wp-content/themes/blaskan/style.css' );
   
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Is there something wrong with the code?

 * don’t use the full url, just the file name;
 * i.e. try to change this:
 *     ```
       wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . 'http://www.giftforgag.com/wp-content/themes/blaskan/style.css' );
       ```
   
 * to:
 *     ```
       wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
       ```
   
 * for details, please ask in your prent theme’s forum at [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/blaskan#postform](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/blaskan#postform)
