style.css empty

    hi,

    i’m designing my own theme

    started off with header.php footer.php and index.php

    html comes through

    i then continued on with style.css, made changes and it looks okay off server in dreamweaver, i then sync files, they pass straight through, i verify their content through dashboard > appearance > editor… the style.css exists with all my own css

    however, when i load in browser, css changes are not evident, i check page source and the style.css files is empty, no code at all, just blank.

    this is bothersome without a doubt

    i then check if i can call a new style sheet, i copy paste my css into a new file main.css, same thing, it shows up empty in page source

    i completely remove the link to style.css and leave my main.css… still empty!

    now, what is up with that? solutions anyone?

    Could it be a caching issue?
    Can you provide a link to your site please, so we can see?

    if this is a caching issue? who is doing the caching, i shift+refresh, i tried 3 different browsers, i looked around my web host (netfirms.ca), couldn’t find any options for resetting cache, haven’t learned anything about wordpress caching

    *edit*

    if it is a caching issue, why isn’t main.css being loaded? when i look at main.css through safari developer extension, the file is empty

    Soe host do cache site. I know that Godaddy does.
    If you tried 3 different browsers, then that’s probably not it.

    I can’t see your site… I only see a coming soon which isn’t a WordPress site.

    I’m guessing that your theme isn’t set up right… or that your not uploading the files on the server at the right spot. It’s hard to say…

    i have my files loaded here

    domain/wp-content/themes/niikaanstudio

    files currently in folder are:

    header.php
    footer.php
    index.php
    style.css

    folder with files in same location

    [elements folder][code]main.css
    [elements folder][graphics folder]front-page-splash.png

    i called blog name and blog description, that works, so if i call the loop, i know that will work, however the issue is the CSS file

    safari developer extension comes back with this notice:

    http://www.niikaanstudio.ca/elements/code/main.css
    Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

    the style.css is found where your structure points to:
    http://www.niikaanstudio.ca/wp-content/themes/niikaanstudio/style.css

    made changes and it looks okay off server in dreamweaver, i then sync files, they pass straight through, i verify their content through dashboard > appearance > editor… the style.css exists with all my own css

    there is no actual formatting in that style.css

    [elements folder][code]main.css

    what is the meaning of that? how does that fit into your problem?

    there are styles in here:
    http://www.niikaanstudio.ca/wp-content/themes/niikaanstudio/elements/code/main.css

    review the way you are calling the stylesheets (from header.php ?)
