 * Hi All,
 * I have created a theme from scratch based on a website page layout and content(
   including css, JavaScript, images, etc). This is a responsive website on its 
   own with everything fully functioning. I followed the WordPress standards and
   methods of creating themes. But when I install the theme and enable it in WordPress,
   I get just a static HTML page with no css formatting, images appearing or JavaScript
   effects.
 * I was wondering if anyone has had a problem like this before, or could point 
   me to the right post/solution page.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Does it work if you use the default theme?

 * Hey menre,
 * This sounds like you didn’t tell the page where to find your stylesheets.
 * In your header.php do you have this declared:
 *     ```
       <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_uri(); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
       ```
   
 * Also, in your style.css you’ll need to make sure you have:
 *     ```
       @import url("stylesheets/yourstylesheet.css");
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps.
 * Ninja vanish!

 * Thanks all for your responses so far. As for your question Tara, yes the default
   theme works well.
 * Thank you for your suggestions ImageOmega. I used the link below and it helped
   a bit.
 *     ```
       <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_uri(); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
       ```
   
 * But the code below is a bit confusing to me.
    [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   url(“stylesheets/yourstylesheet.css”);
 * Another issue I am dealing with now is to make the JavaScript display. Do I need
   to reference the link in a specific way?
 * I will appreciate further help, please.

 * > yes the default theme works well.
 * It means there is a problem specific to the theme you are using.

 * Part of the reason you are having issues with your styles and scripts is that
   you may not be enqueuing them properly.
 * Best practice is to hook them to `wp_enqueue_scripts` that way you not only have
   a cleaner header file ( if you have one ) but if you decide to decide to publically
   share your theme it will be a little easier to create a child theme for it. 🙂
 * So what you would do is create a callback function in your functions file:
 *     ```
       //hook to wp_enqueue_scripts
       add_action ( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts_styles' );
       function my_scripts_styles(){
           wp_enqueue_script( 'my-js', get_template_directory_uri() . /js/my-js-file.js' );
           wp_enqueue_style( 'my-theme-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
       }
       ```
