Application not picking up .css file
If your Flask/Python application is not picking up the .css file, there are a few common reasons why this might be happening. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:
- Check the file path: Make sure the path to your .css file is correct in your HTML code. It should be relative to the root of your application.
- Check the static folder: Flask serves static files (like .css files) from a folder named “static” by default. Make sure your .css file is located in the static folder.
- Check the route: Make sure you are correctly referencing the .css file in your Python code. Use the Flask `url_for` function to generate the correct URL for the static file.
- Clear your browser cache: Sometimes browsers cache static files, so they may not pick up changes immediately. Try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page.
If you have checked all of the above and your application is still not picking up the .css file, try renaming the file or restarting your Flask server. Sometimes a simple restart can fix the issue.
