# [Plugin: Sociable] Plugin CSS not loading

 * I’m trying to add sociable to my blog but the sociable.css style sheet isn’t 
   loading. Syptoms are as follows:
    - I see the icons in the correct locations (so loading icons OK), but the css
      is applying my main site style so I end up with indented square bullets vertically,
      rather than the correct (Sociable) layout as specified for the div.
    - If I echo $sociablepluginpath from within sociable.php in the main div, I 
      get back [http://develop.nicklathamphotography.co.uk/blog/wp-content/plugins/sociable/](http://develop.nicklathamphotography.co.uk/blog/wp-content/plugins/sociable/)
      which is correct for where I’ve placed my filestructure.
    - I do have the option “Use CSS” selected before anyone asks 🙂
    - Other options on the plugin work OK e.g. adding/removing sites or moving them
      around.
 * Also, I have tried copying the sociable.css code into the end of my main site
   style sheet and this solves the formatting problem. This is what’s got me convinced
   that the .css from the plugin directory isn’t being loaded. I can use this as
   a workaround if necessary, but I’d rather load the author’s stylesheet so it 
   gets updated automatically if/when updating the plugin.
 * Is there a way of testing whether the wp_enqueue_style call in the sociable_css()
   function has worked? It doesn’t seem to return a value, so I’m guessing there
   isn’t.
 * I have been through the other posts on similar problems for Sociable and they
   don’t fit with the specifics here.
 * For the moment, I’ve reverted back to a “vanilla” installation of the plugin 
   to show the problem. The site is at develop.nicklathamphotography.co.uk/blog 
   if anyone can take a look.
 * Thanks in advance for any help or support you can offer. If you need more details
   on something just shout up.

 * I’m having the same issue as well. Prior to the problem I was trying to swap 
   out jQuery for the latest version. I should have restored my code to its previous
   state now, but now the Sociable and I Like This plugins don’t seem to be picking
   up the CSS. I tried pasting the CSS into my main stylesheet, and that works! 
   But I would also prefer that the plugin CSS be kept separate.

 * Solved my problem, `<?php wp_head();?>` was missing from my header file!

 * I had to add the CSS to my main stylesheet as well! I was wondering why it wasn’t
   showing properly.
