   nothing’s working. Can someone help me?

 * You’ve posted a link to `localhost`, which is just a fancy way of saying “the
   computer you’re currently using”, so it won’t work for anyone but you. Do you
   have an actual website or are you developing locally with something like XAMPP?
   What theme are you using?

 * No. The problem is with my theme. I can’t get the CSS behind my theme to work.
   Is there any way to show you the code without just copy and pasting everything?

 * How are you loading your stylesheet? Is the problem that the stylesheet isn’t
   being loaded or is the problem that the styles within the stylesheet aren’t being
   applied properly?

 * The style sheet isn’t loading at all.
 * And here’s the method I used for loading it (It’s in a file called function.php)
 * <?php
 * function learningWordPress_resources(){
 *  wp_enqueue_style(‘style’, get_stylesheet_uri());
 * }
 * add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘learningWordPress_resources’);

    ?

 * Is the file named `function.php` or `functions.php`? It needs to be named `functions.
   php`, plural.

 * you need to add the name of your style sheet to the statement
 * wp_enqueue_style(‘style’, get_stylesheet_uri());
