Hello

This is very strange, I have been working on my local DNN Instance (9.6.2) using nvQuicktheme template for a little while and everything so far has appeared fine. However, this evening I accessed the site via localsite.dnndev.me/ as usual, but all the css styling, navigation bar, persona bar, theme colours, had all dissappeared throughout the site. None of the theme or module styling is displaying. I tried viewing in a different browser but the results are still the same. All the styling is still intact in the relevant theme folders.

I would appreaciate some advice on this matter please, as I am at a total loss, as to where to begin.

Thank you.

Do you always browse the site as localsite.dnndev.me?

Check the browser console window for errors. Is something blocking the CSS files?

Thank you Joe for your reply,

Yes I have used localsite.dnndev.me because that's what I named it. Although I did use a specific named site on previous local test sites.

I checked the browser console window for errors as suggested (see below)

(WARNING) Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status style.min.css of 404 (Not Found).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also this Attention Information was on display:

What do you suggest I do to resolve this issue please?

Thank you.

Looks like your working with Bootstrap 4 but treat it like Bootstrap 3.

For bootstrap 4 you work with sass files that need a tool like Gulp to become css. If you don’t use the command line / gulp, you cab use a program like Koala

There probably are a few other things that you need to do if you are developing your theme with nvQuickTheme. Make sure that you are "compiling" changes via Gulp. Check out David Poindexter's videos about nbQuickTheme on YouTube to make sure that you have it set up correctly.

The "missing" style.min.css indicates that something isn't being set correctly.

The cookie report isn't the problem.

Thank you, I am using Gulp:

I use, 'Gulp Watch' whilst I am working on the theme.
I used 'Gulp Build ' to compile changes.

I am pleased to say that I have found the problem, thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
I ran Gulp Build and it showed an error with a custom scss file, stating that the file was found to be unreadable. I removed the file, re ran Gulp Build and the CSS styling has returned to the site.
Solved!
