hi guys

 

If someone could let me know where I'm going wrong I would be very grateful.

 

I'm attempting to import a static html, css website into wordpress and build a custom theme around it. I've followed this tutorial:

 

http://thethemefoundry.com/blog/html-wordpress/

 

Everything seems to make sence, but I just can't figure out why my very basis theme isn't linking to the uploaded style.css. My testing website is here:

 

http://finishme.comoj.com/

 

Any help would be great, as it's been driving me mad!

 

Thanks.

There's no link to your CSS file in your test page... add it and see if it works

Thanks for the reply, I've added the following into the 'header.php' file:

 

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

 

Also tried:

 

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/style.css" />

 

But it doesn't seem to make a difference.

 

My 'style.css' is uploaded into the theme folder with 'header.php' etc. Not sure what I'm doing wrong?

As suggested this does look like the link to the stylesheet is not working.

 

Depending on where your file is then this affects where the links should go.

 

Most wordpress themes have the CSS sheet in with all the page and partial templates so perhaps as Sash suggests post a pic of the file structure.

 

One way of getting round this is by grabbing the URL of the stylesheet and hard coding it into the header using the full URL. IF that works then you can figure out which <?php> call to use

Thanks for the reply guys - much appreciated!

 

I used your code sash_007 and that linked it! Nice One. My CSS file is in the same folder mixed in with the header.php etc.

 

Thanks for the tutorial link also, I think I'll need them.
