CSS frontend not loading

Hi @alienfactory,
Thanks for letting me know about that.

Where are those stylesheets?

1. Parent theme
2. Child theme
3. Simple theme (not a parent or child)
4. Plugin

it is locaked in {mytheme}/blocks/block-anchor-block.css

OK, thanks. That’s not a parent or child theme, right?

no just a standard theme

OK, thanks

Are you developing this in a local environment now?

If so, could you please try on the command line:

wp shell
clearstatcache()

Block Lab uses file_exists() to check if the stylesheet exists, but that function is cached.

So clearstatcache() should clear that cache.

ok dont mark this closed i am having issue with getting in to the wp shell keeps saying Error establishing a database connection once i resolve i will let you know if that worked

but on a side note i am having the same issue on the live site when i tested it

OK, thanks. Let me know when ‘Error establishing a database connection’ is resolved.

ok i am getting a => NULL when running clearstatcache() is that the expect response

but id i run the file_exists(‘wp-content/themes/thisisitdesign/blocks/block-anchor-block.css’);

i get a true back

Thanks!

Yeah, null is what I got from clearstatcache() also.

but id i run the file_exists(‘wp-content/themes/thisisitdesign/blocks/block-anchor-block.css’);

i get a true back

OK, thanks. Does this issue still exist?

yes the issue still exist

OK, sorry for the delay.

For now, enqueuing the stylesheet on the block_lab_render_template_* hook should work:

https://github.com/getblocklab/block-lab/blob/bd9c9125db0f1736497fbbbf2c75d78f0b816339/php/blocks/class-loader.php#L408

For example:

add_action(
	'block_lab_render_template_anchor-block',
	static function() {
		wp_enqueue_style(
			'example-stylesheet-slug',
			// Path to stylesheet
		);
	}
);

Of course, I’ll also work on reproducing and ideally fixing the issue in Block Lab.

This issue isn’t fixed, but I’m closing this as there’s no immediate action.

I’ll keep this in mind, in case a bug in loading stylesheets comes up that I can reproduce.

ok one other note i was thinking it was a php version issue so i change to the letest version 7.4 and now i white screen with ctritical error message when i use a block lab block.

Uf, what is the error message?
