# Login Page Missing Default CSS

 * I have recently completed a clone of a site at root level and deployed it to 
   a directory below.
 * All aspects of the clone worked accept the login page which is not loading:
 * **load-styles.php** – which is leaving the page with a raw html form. It’s odd
   as the admin panel is rendering properly and so is the site. Just the login page.
 * I have checked the console, no errors. The network tab is requesting the login
   page and logo assigned to it, but no style sheet is being rendered in the response.
 * Any ideas?

 * just a follow up on line 22 of the response:
 * <link rel=’stylesheet’ href=’[https://www.example.com/wp-admin/load-styles.php?c=1&dir=ltr&load%5B%5D=dashicons,buttons,forms,l10n,login&ver=4.9.3&#8242](https://www.example.com/wp-admin/load-styles.php?c=1&dir=ltr&load%5B%5D=dashicons,buttons,forms,l10n,login&ver=4.9.3&#8242);
   type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />
 * is missing.

 * Try re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the root wp-config.php & .htaccess
   files and the wp-content folder – from a **fresh** download of WordPress. Make
   sure that you delete the old copies of files & folders before uploading the new
   ones.

 * So, found a work around where in the wp-login.php file, I have just called the:
 * <link rel=’stylesheet’ href=’https://www.example.com/wp-admin/load-styles.php?
   c=1&dir=ltr&load%5B%5D=dashicons,buttons,forms,l10n,login&ver=4.9.3′ type=’text/
   css’ media=’all’ />
 * as pure html and this loads the login panel and also, gives access to the dashboard
   which renders properly.
 * it’s a slight hack for now, but with time in mind and my client’s deadline, I
   think I will need to stick with the current instance as the cloning process was
   a little tricky.
