Posting, since it might be useful for someone in the future:
For me, when I got here, the solution was browser cache. Had to hard refresh Chrome (cmd/ctrl + shift + R) to get the new styles applied, it seems the old ones got cached really "deep".
This question/answer might come in handy for someone. And hard refresh tips for different browsers for those who don't use Chrome.

CSS styles not applying to website. Why? Pls help beginner.
Android is unix based which means it is case sensitive, so style.css is not the same as Style.css also, the ./ operator is relative to the document, so if the html and the css are in the same directory, then it should be Style.css, not ./html/style.css More on reddit.com

I had a similar issue, I believe the problem was coming from the name of my CSS folder in which I had the CSS file. The folder was named "CSS", I'm not sure why it was causing issues but when I put my css file into my "js" folder it worked perfectly fine. Then I created a new folder named "myCSS" and it worked still. This is a weird workaround but it solved my issue and it may be useful to someone else.
also for the link I just had <link rel="stylesheet" href="myCSS/style.css" />

Can you check your network tab that your style.css is fetched from server and there is no 404 not found.
I would say try "/styles.css"

LPChip suggested me to use the debugger/inspector of Firefox and there, the head is greyed out. On further investigation, I noticed it said "css was not loaded because its mime type "text/html" is not "text/css"
That made me check something...
I got the solution:
I had an apache mod_rewrite activated. While the path was correct, it seems that this mod_rewrite or the dedicated php for the redirection somehow told the browser that the file was html not css.

I had a similar issue. Was setting up a NGINX from scratch and all the styles for my project were not applied. But they existed and I did not had any other error.
I found out that I had to apply the correct mime types to all files served by NGINX. Before the fix it was text/plain and this did not worked.
I fixed it by adding those lines to NGINX configuration:
http {
# other config before ...
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
# rest of config ...
}

October 19, 2024 - Use !important as a last resort, for example, in utility classes or in situations where a style must always override others (such as accessibility settings). Another common mistake is misunderstanding how descendant selectors work. Descendant selectors are used to target elements nested inside other elements, but they must match the exact hierarchy in your HTML to work. Your CSS rule might not be working because the structure of your HTML doesn’t match the selector’s hierarchy.
