# CSS not loading / forbidden access

 * I just installed WordPress for the first time on this server and noticed that
   none of the CSS is loading for either the front or back end. It’s all just plain
   text. If you go to the direct link of the css file it gives me a forbidden error
   on the major CSS files needed (but not all!). After reading some other situations
   of the same occurrence on the forums I did ensure that my file permissions are
   all set to 755 with my FTP. I also don’t have the ability to change the .htaccess
   file. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. The website with the
   errors can be found here: [http://nicoleatone.com/](http://nicoleatone.com/)

 * It could be that the permissions may be right but the ownership may be wrong.
   I would contact your host and see what they can do for you.
