Linking Theme Stylesheet

    Good evening,

    My website is: http://www.erinjackson.net
    And my post is related to this item on the Gigpress FAQ:

    “My GigPress stuff looks all lame and unstyled on my site. What gives?
    It could be that your theme is missing the wp_head() hook in the <head> section of the template. GigPress needs that in order to link to its stylesheet (and optionally your user stylesheet), which makes stuff look nice.”

    I have tried to figure this out myself, but after much Googling I’m still nowhere. As I don’t know CSS and stylesheet, etc. I don’t know where to find the <head> section or what if anything goes in between the parentheses: “wp_head()” to better integrate Gigpress into the look of my site. I downloaded a plugin that sounded like it might help called “Per Page Add to Head” but I have no idea if its what I need. I pasted just what is in the FAQ above: “wp_head()” into that section on my tour page, but it made no difference and I’m sure there’s more I should add. The instructions are surely for ppl more experienced than I. Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you so much for your time.

    Also, the page where the Gigpress lives is http://erinjackson.net/tour4/

    Until I am able to make it look better with the site I’m using the tour plugin from the theme designer. The drawback is that it doesn’t accommodate multi-day events. You have to enter them each manually and when I’m gone for a month(s) at a time, it just isn’t feasible. I definitely prefer Gigpress.

    Thanks again

    Hi. Sorry for the delayed response here.

    I don’t think you need that plugin (but can’t say for sure).

    You should look in your theme folder, find the header.php file, and make sure you have something like this in it:

    <head>
	<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>">
	<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
	<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
	<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>

    If you have something similar in <head> without the wp_head WordPress PHP function, it needs to be added in.

    Your theme developer should be following WordPress’ best practices: https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/recommended/templates/

    However, we cannot assist any further with non-default WordPress themes. We can only provide support for WordPress default themes like TwentyFourteen, TwentyFifteen, TwentySixteen, etc.

    I hope you get things working well.
