Help needed! I’m having trouble with my WordPress site.
I just set up WordPress on my hosting account, but I’m running into a weird problem. Every time I try to activate a theme, whether it’s Divi or even the default ones like Twenty Twenty-One, I get an error saying the stylesheet is missing.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
- Uploaded and tried to activate Divi theme
- Attempted to use default themes (Twenty Twenty-One, Twenty Twenty, etc.)
- Reinstalled WordPress from scratch
But no matter what I do, I keep getting the same error about the missing stylesheet. It’s driving me crazy! Has anyone else run into this issue before? Any ideas on how to fix it? I’m totally stuck and would really appreciate some help figuring out what’s going on with my site.
hey, had this issue before. check ur file permissions. sometimes the server cant access theme files cuz of wrong permissions. try setting them to 644 for files and 755 for folders. if that dont work, might be a plugin conflict. disable all plugins n see if it helps. good luck!
I’ve dealt with this frustrating issue before. One thing that worked for me was clearing my browser cache and cookies completely. Sometimes old cached data can interfere with theme activation.
Another potential culprit could be your CDN if you’re using one. Try temporarily disabling it to see if that resolves the problem.
If those don’t work, check your WordPress debug log for any specific errors. You can enable debugging by adding define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); to your wp-config.php file. This might give you more detailed information about what’s causing the stylesheet to go missing.
Lastly, it might be worth checking if your WordPress core files are intact. You can use the WordPress CLI to verify file integrity if you’re comfortable with command line tools.
Hope one of these suggestions helps you get to the bottom of it!
I encountered a similar issue recently. It’s often related to PHP memory limits. Try increasing your PHP memory limit in your wp-config.php file by adding the line: define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’);
If that doesn’t resolve the issue, inspect your .htaccess file. It might have become corrupted during updates. Rename the existing file so that WordPress can generate a new one.
Finally, ensure that your hosting environment meets all WordPress requirements. Outdated PHP versions can sometimes lead to stylesheet issues. If the problem persists, contacting your hosting provider might uncover any server-side restrictions affecting theme activation.
