FlexSlider won't work

Hi!

The theme styles including the flexslider is written like this ``` function theme_styles(){

wp_enqueue_style('normalize', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/normalize.css');
wp_enqueue_style('grid', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/grid.css');
wp_enqueue_style('googlefonts', 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Sorts+Mill+Goudy:400,400italic');
wp_enqueue_style('main', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css');
wp_enqueue_style('social', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/webfonts/ss-social.css');

wp_register_style('flexslider', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/flexslider.css');
if(is_page('home')){
    wp_enqueue_style('flexslider');
}

}    ```

What is wrong? When I inspect the home-page, there is no link to the slider...:-/

the 'is_page()' function accepts either the Page ID, Page Title or Page Slug. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_page

So 'home' would assume that you have a page called "Home".

Instead of using wp_register_style('flexslider', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/flexslider.css');

try

if( is_page('home') )
 wp_enqueue_style('flexslider', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/flexslider.css');

Did not work I'm afraid...what does 'home' stand for in this case? is this some file name?

Thanks Anthony! :-) You know what the weird thing was? I have a page called Home.... But it only connected if it was is_page('Home')....and not is_page('home')...seems it is very case sensitive

So now it works. Guess what...you just made my friday.

It is possible that the page slug for this page is something other than 'home'. But glad you got it working by using the page title!

Cheers.
