I cannot get my wordpress site to link to the CSS file. I'm running MAMP Pro. Here's my code:
header.php file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>
<?php
wp_title( '-', true, 'right' );
bloginfo( 'name' );
?>
</title>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is the header</p>
<?php
$args = array(
'menu' => 'main-menu'
);
wp_nav_menu( $args );
?>
my functions.php file:
<?php
function theme_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'main', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp-enqueue_scripts', 'theme_styles' );
// Enable custom menus
add_theme_support( 'menus' );
?>
my style.css file (I'll just post the metadata portion):
/*

Nothing I do has been able to get the stylesheet to link up. I've tried changing the Theme URI in the style.css file, but to no avail. If anyone has any tips, I'd sure appreciate it.

Courses Plus Student 4,445 Pointsgood god... hours of looking through forums and the Wordpress codex, and the mistake was simply that I erroneously used a hyphen in place of an underscore when I typed wp_enqueue_scripts as wp-enqueue_scripts in the add_action function.
Ugh.
