 * I have been using a site created in the 2011 them as my ‘learning’ site.
 * I’ve finally managed to get the permalinks changed so i can use the post name
   option in the URL bar = but the upshot is, all the CSS styling for the theme 
   has been reduced to nothing more than a basic page with no style at all.

 * Any suggestions as to the cause would be welcome, if more info is required please
   advise and i will supply.

 * Hi Andrew,
 * I have experienced that sometimes I help to press update two times in the Permalink
   Settings. That way you are sure that the .htaccess is set correct up and that
   all url is flushed

 * Your css file is no longer accessible.

 * If that still does not work, make sure that your .htaccess is setup correct. 
   Mine looks like this:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```

 * OK, thanks for your suggestions.
 * The CSS style sheet not being available certainly makes sense.
    I’m guessing 
   this is down to the effects of the .htaccessfile – as the 2011 style was fine
   until i introduced the .thaccess file that fixed the permalinks option not working.
 * I’ll go and have a look, follow your suggestions and see what happens.

 * OK, you will note that all now appears to be working fine.
 * What appears to have been the case (i’m assuming) is that there was an .htaccess
   file in the root of the htdocs folder, and there was another within the wp-contents/
   twentyeleven/ sub directory.
 * After i deleted the one within the sub-directory, all appears to be working ok
   again.
 * I think that is what has happened – your opinions are more than welcome on this
   solution as i try to replicate my .htaccess file to other sites currently running
   the twentyeleven theme.

 * You would only need the .htaccess within the root of the site, definitely not
   in the theme folder

 * OK, have now followed this through with 4 other sites and the extra .htaccess
   file was clearly the issue.
 * All working ok now – i’ll remember that for future reference.
