[Solved] 404 error - Strange problem with empty CSS files for modules

[Eric Nguyen]

I'm not using the default theme. I'm using a theme called fashionbird instead.

 

There are 404 errors for most of my modules' CSS files

 

The CSS files are expected at location:

/themes/fashionbird/css/modules/<module-name>/

 e.g. 

/themes/fashionbird/css/modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.css

The strange thing is that the CSS files are actually present there!

They are just empty.

 

Interestingly, putting some dummy code in the CSS files make the 404 errors go away

 

Is there a good way of solving this problem or do I have to manually copy the CSS files from the modules to my theme one by one?

This is strange. How did you install the theme? In the theme, the css files are there but when you installed the theme, the css files did not transfer?

try to open the css file on your browser directly

http://your-domain.com/themes/fashionbird/css/modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.css

Is css file can be loaded/opened ?

Is css file can be loaded/opene

 

 

What could be the cause of this. When the theme is uploaded, the css files are loaded automatically. Could it be a permissions issue?

This is a free Prestashop theme that I found on ... The theme include those empty CSS files (for what purpose I'm not sure) and it is Chrome's and Firefox's default behavihour to show them as 404, that's all. I simple have to manually remove/ replace these files with what I want or leaving them alone would do no harm either. I'm satisfied with this explanation and workaround for now.

 

Thanks for your help!

can you please share url to your website?

latest chrome version displays 404 errors for css / js files which are empty

 

maybe this is the reason.

Paste this code in css file:

@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
