I linked my CSS file in the
<head> of my HTML document, but none of the styles
seem to be applied. I’ve checked the file name
and path, but it still doesn’t work. What could be causing this?

The most common reasons your CSS isn’t applying are:
1. Wrong file path
Make sure the href points to the correct location of your CSS file.
2. Incorrect
tag
It must be inside the
and include rel="stylesheet".
3. Browser cache
Try a hard refresh (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + R).
4. CSS errors or overrides
Syntax mistakes or inline styles can prevent your styles from appearing.
Usually the problem is simply an incorrect file path.
