That’s actually what I also meant with my answer. I thought that doing it with the function is the only correct way. I was not aware that the guideline says that you can also add the stylesheet manually to the header.php. I also don’t think that it’s good to have this as a guideline as some novice authors may think that’s it’s a good approach to just load stuff in header.php instead of using a hook properly. </div><div><br></div><div>Regards,<br><div>

<br>
no, you should enqueue stylesheets like this: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_style" target="_blank">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_style</a><br>
