# Stylesheet/Theme not loading

 * I’m trying to help someone retrieve their blog. Not exactly sure what they did,
   but now the stylesheet/theme is now showing. We can see the base, unstyled pages
   but no sign of the theme.
 * I’ve had a good look at different files but wonder if this is a permalinks setting,
   somehow?
 * Head hurting now so hoping one of you fine people can point us in the right direction.
 * The site is at [http://www.natoyaebony.com/online/](http://www.natoyaebony.com/online/)
 * Thank you

 * Your base url is pointing to
    [http://www.natoyaebony.com/online/category/thedates/](http://www.natoyaebony.com/online/category/thedates/)
   but it seems you have installed your wordpress in online folder and your base
   url should be [http://www.natoyaebony.com/online/](http://www.natoyaebony.com/online/)
 * You need to take out “category/thedates/” part.
 * Check your permalink and see how it’s been set up.
 * If you are not sure, can you post the permalink here
    so that we can see what
   would be the issue?

 * Thank you – that’s the way I was thinking too (glad to know I’m not going mad).
   
   Trouble is, I can’t get into the Dashboard. Can I get to the permalink setting
   via the database?
 * Really appreciate your help

 * Did you check .htaccess?
 * If you can post it here, I will take a look.

 * Just wanted to post how I fixed this in case others have a similar issue.
 * The problem was caused by the permalinks being set wrong – just a missing / but
   that threw everything.
 * So I went into the database and corrected the siteurl in the wp_options table.
 * And lo – one website restored, into the Dashboard and set the permalinks to something
   that works.
 * Huge thanks to geeksfolder for guidance.
