Trying to figure out why my child theme is trying to access a file that doesn’t exist

2 Views

This is my attempt at making a child theme, and everything seems to be working well, however when I view the source code I’m seeing this

<link rel='stylesheet' id='bootstrap-css' href='http://wpdallas.com/test/wp-content/themes/Standard/css/lib/bootstrap.css?ver=3.3.1' type='text/css' media='all' />

which gives me a 404 error. I’m not sure what’s going on, and how to fix this….and what problems this could cause me. The site seems to be working fine even with that error. I’m just trying to figure out what it is.

Thanks

  1. From your comment:

    I found this code in the functions.php of the parent theme, is that what you were looking for? 

    // bootstrap 

wp_register_style('bootstrap', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/lib/bootstrap.css'); > 
wp_enqueue_style('bootstrap');
    1. In your Theme’s file structure, do you find /css/lib/bootstrap.css? If so, then it should be loading properly.
    2. If not, do you find bootstrap.css anywhere else in your Theme’s file structure? If so, then you should change the wp_register_style() function accordingly, to reference the correct file location.
    3. If not, do you intend to enqueue the bootstrap stylesheet? If not, then simply remove the code entirely.
    4. Another thing: are you using a Child Theme? If so, then the Theme is looking for /css/lib/bootstrap.css in the Parent Theme, due to get_template_directory_uri(). If you have the files in your Child Theme, change that to get_stylesheet_directory_uri().

    Edit

    Also, the link doesn’t return a 404 for me. I can see the stylesheet, just fine.
