14,238 PointsSuddenly getting a 404 error on style.css?? [SOLVED]
This is driving me nuts!!!
Randomly, styles from style.css just stopped working on my Wordpress site.
I checked the console, and it gives me a 404 error for style.css.
What's crazy is my theme is still active (which means Wordpress IS loading style.css, because you need it to even have a theme in the first place).
What the hell is going on here?

35,800 PointsFTP is not safe. Look into SFTP and SSH.
Also I will leave this here:
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; # Change directory permissions rwxr-xr-x
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; # Change file permissions rw-r--r--

14,238 PointsI found the cause in case anyone has the same problem...
Somehow permissions got changed on style.css in FTP, which was preventing the browser from accessing the file. Once I changed it back, everything went back to normal.
