Problem with Adding Bootstrap CSS via the functions.php File

bootstrap.min.css is not added to the header.php; although I took the following steps:

  1. pasted the bootstrap.min.css in themes/bootstrap-to-wp/css 2.added the following to functions.php:

<?php function theme_styles() {

wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.min.css' );

} add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_styles' ); ?>

3.added the following to header.php before </head> : <?php wp_head(); ?>

When I check the source-code after these steps, the bootstrap.min.css does not load with the rest of the header.

any help is appreciated.

Try this...

<?php
  function theme_styles() {
    wp_register_style( 'bootstrap_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.min.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap_css' );
  }
  add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_styles' ); 
?>

Otherwise, I usually find it easier to include bootstrap's css without modifying functions.php...

Add this at the top of style.css before any code but after the stylesheet header (the comment):

@import url('css/bootstrap.min.css');

Please note that you may have to change this path to match your project.
