Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 16,039 PointsIncorrect file; how to correct
When viewing page source, I am getting the following link:
href='http://localhost/carlathomas.com/wp-content/themes/wpportfolio/css/main.css?ver=3.9.1'
The problem is that main.css should be style.css.
How can I correct this? Thanks in advance.

33,856 PointsIf you could post your code I can compare it for you. Otherwise, you should have something similar to this.
<?php
// Load the Theme CSS
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' );
}
}
// Load the Theme JS
function theme_js() {
wp_register_script( 'flexslider', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/flexslider.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
if( is_page( 'home' ) ) {
wp_enqueue_script( 'flexslider' );
}
wp_enqueue_script( 'theme_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/theme.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_js' );
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_styles' );
// Enable custom menus
add_theme_support( 'menus' );
?>

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 16,039 PointsThank you! Yes, the problem was that I copy/pasted the same line....but I failed to correctly link to the css file.......THANK YOU! :)

33,856 PointsI must have been reading too fast to realize you weren't having an issue with CSS caching while in development. Glad you got it!

33,856 PointsCarla, you'll want to just right click and view page source, not use an inspector which will sometimes give you versioning.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 16,039 PointsHi Dustin. Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I am (1) right clicking on the site page and then (2) clicking on the link.....however, the link itself is incorrect. It should be linked to a "style.css" and not a "main.css".

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 16,039 PointsThank you so much for your help, but I am linking to CSS using the function.php file and wp_register_style() and wp_enqueue_style()....I am currently on the WP Development track (the "Linking CSS" video)....I keep replaying the video but I cannot seem to figure out why it says "main.css" instead of "style.css".

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 16,039 Points...when I click on the link to view my styles, I am instead forwarded to the home page of my site. Very frustrating.
