I am trying to use the recommended htaccess file to remove the index.php.

but when I clear the Name of your site's index page in admin prefs the css will not load but everything else will on the templates.

my css: <link href="{stylesheet=global_embeds/site_css}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" />

viewing source it appears fine: <link href="http://domain.com/?css=global_embeds/site_css.v.1379946470" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" />

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On

        # Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
        RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

CSS is a css template in EE

  • Please provide your .htaccess instead of referring to "recommended". Also confirm your CSS file - is it a template or physical file on the server? Sep 23, 2013 at 15:54

Try this in your .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(css=.*)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^(ACT=.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/%1 [L]

Before your main index rewrite.

Also if it's a physical file, ensure you have this in your htaccess:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

Before the index rewrite rule.

So your htaccess may look something like this:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(css=.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/%1 [L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(images|admin|themes|robots\.txt|index\.php) [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^(ACT=.*)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

I'm guessing your CSS is a template in "global_embeds" template group...? If so, keep it simple and change your html code as follows:

<link href="/global_embeds/site_css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" />

  • thanks all I had to do is change: <link href="/global_embeds/site_css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" /> which is weird because the original method has word previously Sep 23, 2013 at 16:07
