my wordpress has no style!!

jko170, you can check on what pericat is suggesting by going to (in Safari) Window/Activity and check to see if the URL for wp-admin.css is listed as https://kosbba.com/wp-admin/wp-admin.css (it should be in order to function correctly). In fact, now that I click the link to the wp-admin.css, I get a 403. Make sure that the permissions for /wp-admin/ are set to 755 (CHMOD 755).

yeah I cannot overide the wp-admin.css file nor download it from my server. Forget this im just going to wipe out everything and reinstall wordpress and see if that works.

oh my gosh I just reinstalled WP and it does the same thing!!

Contact your hosting provider. There’s something screwy if accessing that file gives a 403 and you can’t delete it.

I had the same problem happen to me and tried a bunch of things. I finally narrowed it down to this: The siteurl was wrong.

The siteurl can be found in the wp_options table of your WordPress database. Look for the row where the option_name = “siteurl”. The option_value column should point to the root of your WordPress blog, not the root of your web site.

For example, I inadvertantly pointed my URL to:

https://www.empiricalmarketer.com

…instead of

https://www.empiricalmarketer.com/blog

Once I changed the option_value to the second URL above, everything started looking (and working) fine.

Hope this helps someone.

I had this same issue when I moved my WP from a subdirectory to an upperlevel directory (originall installed to testblog/wordpress and decided to move it to /wordpress). I had to go into phpmyadmin and remove testblog wherever I found it (about 3 or 4 places) to get it to work correctly.

I had the same problem, and found that permissions for wp-admin.css were incorrectly set during install. CHMOD to 644 eliminated the problem.
