Can’t link CSS to plugin

    Hello,

    I am trying to link CSS styles to my plugin. The styles are for the _/settings_ of the plugin. It is just styling of the settings form.

    add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'emnoti_styles');

    ^^ I link the styles there in the index.php and in functions.php I have this function:

    
function emnoti_styles() {
    wp_register_style( 'the_plugin_css', 'styles/emnoti_styles.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'the_plugin_css' );
}

    But the styles aren’t applied. There is no error, just no styling. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you!

  • Is this index.php part of your plugin? Is the functions.php part of your plugin?
    The function should be part of the plugin, and the action to hook to in order to load the styles should be related to when your settings page is shown. The styles should not be loaded for every admin page.
    Also, the path to the styles needs to be a complete path, not relative.

    ^^ Thank you so much, Joy!

    I changed add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'emnoti_styles'); to add_action('admin_init', 'emnoti_styles'); and wp_register_style( 'the_plugin_css', 'styles/emnoti_styles.css' ); to wp_register_style( 'the_plugin_css', plugins_url('styles/emnoti_styles.css', __FILE__) ); and it worked!

    Thanks again!
