Title: style.css empty Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # style.css empty * Resolved [mrjabbee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrjabbee/) * (@mrjabbee) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-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?

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.
