CSS URL throws a 404 when referenced from a page
I’m modifying the default Textpattern front-side theme to serve font assets locally. The work-in-progress repo is here if you’d like to examine the code.
My tweaked theme is visually identical to the default theme. I am serving the equivalent Google Fonts CSS and files locally, via the Themes directory:
/themes
/four-point-seven-no-remote
/styles
/fonts
[font files in here]
fonts.cssNothing especially strange, just removing the Google-ness. I have encountered a problem with generating the URL for referencing the fonts.css file I’ve made.
There’s a comment in the default theme code that says: <!-- ...or you can use (faster) external CSS files e.g. <link rel="stylesheet" href="<txp:page_url type="theme_path" />/styles/default.css"> -->
And so, this is my code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<txp:page_url type="theme_path" />/styles/fonts.css">If I use this in a page, this is the URL that’s generated (real URL sanitised):
https://example.com/themes/four-point-seven-no-remote/themes/four-point-seven-no-remote/styles/fonts.cssNote the second themes/four-point-seven-no-remote entry. This doesn’t work (404 error).
However, if I use this same code in an article — but minus the link scaffold…:
<txp:page_url type="theme_path" />/styles/fonts.css…this is the generated URL:
https://example.com/themes/four-point-seven-no-remote/styles/fonts.css…which works fine.
I am somewhat confused. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance for any feedback, pointers or blunt corrections.

Odd. The code works fine here, on a fairly default txp472 install (locally).
Just checking… you probably have done it already…
- Admin > Preferences > Admin:
themesis filled for the “Theme directory” entry? - Presentation > Themes, the “four-point-seven-no-remote” is imported ?
- Presentation > Sections, the theme is assigned to all sections ?
- Presentation > Pages (and Forms), the theme is selected in the dropdown at the top of the side bar?
And finally, are there any messages in debug mode?
Where is that emoji for a solar powered submarine when you need it ?

That’s good to know – I assume it’s me doing something wrong somewhere!

Confirming all these to be correct.

None at all.
Thanks Philippe. I’m grateful for your time and attention, I’ll take another look at this later today when I have a bit more available time.

Resolved. Problem exists between keyboard and chair.
Edit: theme now available.
