Bootstrap to WordPress menu - not seeing css?

Just loving From Bootstrap to WordPress but I've got an issue with the nav only getting basic css in stage one.

For the life of me, I can't figure out what's wrong, so I migrated the site from my local server to my web server to make it easy for all to see all the code.

Help please - Site

The project is using bootstrap version 3.1.1

I downloaded and installed bootstrap version 3.3.1 and that was the issue

Hi, can you explain again the problem you were having? Was there something wrong with the version being used?

Hey Zac,

check out the link above, you can see the top nav menu is missing it's CSS value.

The setup: Seeing as I have not successfully migrated a website from local to remote, (That requires a database) I thought this a good opportunity to do so with this project, now all can see the project, in addition I can confidently update from my local Apache environment to production. : )

The issue: I believe I followed the tute correctly however, I went to the bootstrap website and downloded the files. At the time, I did not pay enough attention the the version I was downloading, consequently I ended up with...

version 3.3.1

<b> <br> As opposed to the Video files

version 3.1.1

Not paying enough attention to the version you're using is the lesson learnt for me. : )

Off topic: My Wife and I thoroughly enjoy your work, Fleur is about to complete her post grad in Teaching, watching you has been inspiring to say the very least, it must be satisfying knowing you're reaching out to so many with a WW audience.

Two words come to mind - consummate artistry. I'd love to rant on more about how brilliant your techniques are however, lucky for you, I'm addicted to this project.

Thank you Zac.
