r/neocities on Reddit: Why is my CSS not appearing?
July 8, 2022 -

Hello! I'm absolutely brand new to this (I learned very basic HTML as a child but not much), so I've been following this tutorial to try and make a basic layout for my site. I've been writing the code in CodePen and everything seems to look fine (don't mind the silly placeholder text): https://codepen.io/catciuin/pen/OJvNzeM

I've already added the basic HTML to Neocities, which is also working fine. However, when I try to add the CSS link using <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">, it just doesn't show up at all. The stylesheet is just saved as "style.css" and is in the same folder as index.html - just the default folder, I haven't added any new ones. I've googled around and tried a few solutions with no luck, including adding other tags, creating a new .css file, adding . or ./ in front of style.css.

It also doesn't show up even if I add it into the HTML, without a separate file. I've tried adding it at the top or bottom of the page, inside <head> tags, just about every suggestion I've been able to find.

I can't figure out if I'm missing something really obvious or what :( any help would be really appreciated!

EDIT: I ran the same HTML & CSS on w3spaces and it seems to be just fine. Is this a neocities specific issue? :s

All of these lead to wrong nesting, ... layouts, CSS not working, scripts to throw errors, and more calamity. I recommend inspecting your site with your browser's Dev Tools: It lets you see the nesting visually. Hovering over the code for an element, for example, highlights that element on the page. Getting nesting right is difficult in an editor that doesn't check for nesting errors or formats your HTML automatically (such as Neocities' built-in ...

June 23, 2013 - i have a few websites i've designed/created in html/css locally on my computer using visual studio code which I'm trying to upload to host on my neocities site. my websites are image heavy, and i organized these images into folders and subfolders (eg: images/window/2016 would have pictures of windows from 2016). when i went to upload my images file to neocities, i noticed the file upload button doesn't seem to allow for uploading folders, and you have to create folders in neocities itself.

r/neocities on Reddit: css is not loading on my website
April 25, 2024 -

I'm new to programming and this is the first site I've tried to put up, but simply NOTHING of the css appears on my site!!! I already checked my codes and didn't find any errors. When I view the page through VScode (where I originally created the project) the page runs perfectly. I don't know if it's a problem because I did it in another program or what.

It's also worth saying that I've already restarted my computer, I've already tried f5 and ctrl+f5.

r/neocities on Reddit: Website not loading correctly after downloading and working on the site offline
November 2, 2023 -

I'm currently working on my website so I have a place for my art and writing. I like working in an offline environment, so I'm trying to work on it in Visual Studio Code, but I'm running into some issues.

To begin, when working on it in neocities' built-in editor-- the website it displaying as it should.

image 1: website as it appears on jasperygrace.neocities.org

However, when trying to load it locally on my computer, the css styling isn't loading and appears as a page with a white background and default font.

image 2: site as it appears when loaded locally on system

I haven't been able to find to find resources on how to fix this or even what's causing the problem to begin with. If it's any consideration, I used Sadgrl's Layout Builder for the index page to try to get familiarize myself with how html and css work; I'm not sure if it could be their stylesheet that could be causing my issues or not. I've also tried loading the local file on both Edge and Firefox, both of which show the same problem.

I would greatly appreciate the assistance.

If you're using a font that isn't a "default" font (so you had to upload the font file to your site or use Google Fonts or something), you should tell the browser to load the font first: <link rel="preload" href="yourfont.woff" as="font" type="font/woff" crossorigin> Put this in the head of your HTML document before you link to the CSS, and the browser will only load the text once the font is loaded. Make sure that if you use a font of a different type that you change the "type=" to the correct MIME type for your font. Upload the most important files on Neocities.
