Plugin Specific Styles Not Registering?

Hi everyone :)

Just working on my first plugin, I had the functionality working when the code was tested in my functions.php file prior to making this into a plugin. A that point the css relevant to that function was in the main css directory.

From my main plugin.php file I added the following code hoping it would bring in the css file that is in the same plugin folder as the main plugin.php.

e.g.

-Main Plugin Folder

Plugin.php Plugin.css

<?php

function bf_button_shortcode_styles(){

    wp_enqueue_style( 'bf_button_shortcode_styles', plugins_url( 'bf_button_shortcodes/bf_button_shortcodes.css' ) );

}
add_action( 'admin_head', 'bf_button_shortcode_styles' );

?>

I'm really not sure what I am getting wrong here in respect of loading the css as I have done it in the same way Zac did in the plugin vids...(I think)

Hope you can help :)

Craig

Fixed my own silly issue :)

<?php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'bf_button_shortcode_styles' );

?>

admin head will style the back end :)

Never use admin_head in backend as well.... Use admin admin_enqueue_scripts hook otherwise waring may occur...
