WordPress Daily Routine

CSS styles from the theme are missing or not applied on the frontend.

Theme Styles Not Loading

Key Points: The website looks broken or unstyled due to missing or mislinked CSS files.

You install a theme, refresh the page — and everything looks like plain HTML. Buttons are gone, menus float weirdly, and it’s like WordPress forgot how to dress up. That’s usually a missing stylesheet problem.

🎯 Possible Causes

• The theme’s style.css file is not properly enqueued
• Child theme overrides missing wp_enqueue_scripts hook
• Mixed content errors when forcing HTTPS
• Caching plugin serving outdated assets

🛠️ How to Fix It

1. Inspect the page using browser Dev Tools → Network tab
2. Check if style.css is being loaded from the correct URL
3. Ensure functions.php uses wp_enqueue_style() correctly
4. Clear all caches (including CDN if used)

📎 Extra

Some themes load CSS conditionally — make sure no missing dependencies or script deregistrations are interfering.
