# Plugin: Options Framework – stylesheets not loading

 * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-options-framework-stylesheets-not-loading/)
 * I am using the Options Framework theme [https://github.com/devinsays/options-framework-theme](https://github.com/devinsays/options-framework-theme)
   within Thematic (and not in a child theme) and all works beautifully except for
   the selector of alternate stylesheets.
 * If in functions.php I define the path `define('STYLES', TEMPLATEPATH . '/styles/');`
   as the creator set up, the list of available stylesheets are visible on the scroll
   down menu in the admin theme options panel but when selected the style remains
   the default and no alternate stylesheet is loaded.
 * But if for instance I change the path to `define('STYLES', get_bloginfo('template_url').'/
   styles/');` then alternate stylesheets previously selected are loading ok but
   the scroll down menu of available stylesheets in the admin theme options is blank.
 * Other useful reference may be in theme-options.php
 *     ```
       //Stylesheets Reader
       $alt_stylesheet_path = STYLES;
       $alt_stylesheets = array();
   
       if ( is_dir($alt_stylesheet_path) ) {
           if ($alt_stylesheet_dir = opendir($alt_stylesheet_path) ) {
               while ( ($alt_stylesheet_file = readdir($alt_stylesheet_dir)) !== false ) {
                   if(stristr($alt_stylesheet_file, ".css") !== false) {
                       $alt_stylesheets[] = $alt_stylesheet_file;
                   }
               }
           }
       }
       ```
   
 * and in admin-functions.php
 *     ```
       if (!function_exists('optionsframework_wp_head')) {
       	function optionsframework_wp_head() {
              global $data;
       	// Alt Styles
       	$alt_style = $data['alt_stylesheet'];
       		if ($alt_style == '') {
       		 	$alt_style = 'default.css';
       		}
       	wp_register_style('alt_style', STYLES . $alt_style);
           wp_enqueue_style('alt_style');
       	}
       }
       add_action('wp_print_styles', 'optionsframework_wp_head');
       ```
   
 * Any suggestions on where I am going wrong? Thank you.

 * Problem solved. There is another Options Framework theme forked from Thematic
   Theme Options by Devin Price, called KIA Thematic Options Panel [https://github.com/helgatheviking/thematic-options-KIA](https://github.com/helgatheviking/thematic-options-KIA)
   
   which resolves this and other issues.
