Title: Permalink change breaks CSS Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Permalink change breaks CSS * Resolved [cliveloseby](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cliveloseby/) * (@cliveloseby) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-change-breaks-css/) * Hi there, I decided to change my Permalink Structure of my site to Pretty ones and it unfortunately has disconnected my stylesheet. * When I changed permalinks to Date and Name-Based ie /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/% postname%/ every page loses the stylesheet. * When I changed to /archives/%post_id%/ all my main pages are fine but my sub pages lose their css! * please look at two versions of my site, identical in pretty much all respects: * [http://www.access-bydesign.com/](http://www.access-bydesign.com/) (old style permalinks) * [http://www.abdtest.co.uk/](http://www.abdtest.co.uk/) (permalinks changed to/ archives/%post_id%/) * and you will see what I mean. * Thank you very much for any ideas you may give. * The tag line back to wp will be going in our sites, BTW… Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-change-breaks-css/#post-635073) * No, I don’t see what you mean. Which is the PAge that is loosing the style? * Thread Starter [cliveloseby](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cliveloseby/) * (@cliveloseby) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-change-breaks-css/#post-635153) * Sorry, I should have made it clearer. Any of the sub pages: click on “Our Websites” and then either “Our Services” or “Portfolio”, or in fact and page that open up to show another one. I use Collapsing Page Menus but taking it out didn’t solve the error… thanks for your response! * BTW, if I change Permalinks to /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/, all the pages lose it. * [ivovic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivovic/) * (@ivovic) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-change-breaks-css/#post-635156) * how is the stylesheet referred to in the header? * Thread Starter [cliveloseby](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cliveloseby/) * (@cliveloseby) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-change-breaks-css/#post-635162) * HI, like this: * * this is in line 7 of header.php * Thread Starter [cliveloseby](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cliveloseby/) * (@cliveloseby) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-change-breaks-css/#post-635163) * If it helps, here is the entire file (header.php): * Access – by Design

Is standard.css in the root of your webspace? * if so, refer to it as /standard.css * Usually people leave their CSS in the theme’s directory, and refer to it with a little php code, but if you want to leave it where it is, then simply add a slash to the front of the filename. * [ivovic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivovic/) * (@ivovic) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-change-breaks-css/#post-635166) * heh I was replying before you added the rest, you may want to do /print.css as well, while you’re at it. * Thread Starter [cliveloseby](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cliveloseby/) * (@cliveloseby) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-change-breaks-css/#post-635167) * Thank yoou so much!
